About your new CLS45i

The CLS45i is the flagship of the Ameriphone® product line. It has been custom-engineered with an unprecedented array of features to provide years of convenience and assistance. It is powered by the latest technology yet thoughtfully designed for ease-of-use, especially for people who have trouble hearing on the telephone.

The CLS45i is a Dual-Speaker Amplified Cordless Telephone with 2.4GHz technology for greatly increased power and extended operating range.

It is, literally, two-phones-in-one ... two speaker phones. There are speakers in both the handset and the base. This means that when the handset is either in or out of the base you can use the base as a standard speakerphone. There are dialing keypads and stored number memories in both the handset and the base. And, you can also use the handset independently as another speakerphone in another location in your home. You can also use it as an intercom between rooms.

The CLS45i has a powerful 40dB amplifier with separate volume and tone controls so that you can tailor the incoming sounds to the loudness and fre quency that best suits your hearing. Plus, its bright, red ring flashers and super-loud ringers in both the base and handset make sure you know when your phone is ringing.

too far from your base unit, noise increases. If you pass the range limits of the base unit, your call will be terminated.

The CLS45i has both Caller ID and Call Waiting Caller ID capabilities. You will need to subscribe to the telephone company’s Caller ID service to use these features. The LCD screen on the handset lets you view Caller ID information easily. It also guides you through the few simple steps to set up the other Special Features of the CLS45i.

On the base you’ll find seven (7) one-touch speed dial memory buttons, including three red buttons specifically designated for emergency numbers. You can store other numbers in these memory locations if you wish, but emergency numbers will always be easiest to access if you store them in the red memory locations (ER5, ER6 and ER7).

Note: The CLS45i employs sophisticated circuitry to minimize acoustic feedback (squealing) while it is placed against your ear. However, you may experi ence some feedback while returning the handset to the base. To alleviate this either turn the phone off or turn the amplifier off before returning the hand

set to the base.

The handset can store frequently called numbers in ten (10) two-touch buttons.

Your new phone is designed to achieve the maxi mum possible range by transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications set forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at a maximum distance with the qualification that the range depends upon the environment in which the telephone is used. While using the telephone you may experience interference from other electronic devices. If you use the handset near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard from the receiver or the speaker. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base unit. During a call, as you begin to move your handset

The CLS45i has many other features and functions and they are explained in the following pages.

We hope you enjoy using your new CLS45i and that you are pleased with the added capability and independence it makes possible for you.

We sincerely thank you for your support of Ameriphone products. If we can be of help to you, please call our Customer Service department at 800-426-3738. We would also appreciate your feed back.

Installing and Using Your CLS45i

There are six (6) steps involved in setting up your CLS45i.

1. Install included battery pack into handset.

2. (Optional) Insert four AA alkaline batteries

(for backup in case of AC power outage) into base.

3. Decide if you want the telephone to sit

on a desk/tabletop or hang on the wall (if on the wall, follow Instructions for Wall Mounting)

4. Plug the telephone line cord into the phone

base and telephone wall jack

5. Plug the electrical adapter into a 110-120V

AC wall outlet

6. Place handset in the cradle face up and let

charge overnight or for 10-14 hours

Once your telephone is set up and the

handset is charged, you may proceed to program up to 17 phone numbers into the memory speed-dial buttons and set up the rest of the Special Features.

Installing, Replacing and Charging the Handset Battery Pack

Note: the battery pack must be fully charged before using the CLS-45i

Remove the battery cover on the back of the handset by pushing the battery compartment “button” and sliding the cover towards the bottom of the handset.

1. To install the battery pack, plug the

cord of the battery pack into the terminal in the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover by sliding it into place until it “clicks”.

2. To replace the battery pack, remove the

battery cover as stated above and unplug the battery from the battery compartment. Remove old battery pack. Install new battery pack and plug the cord of the battery pack into the terminal in the battery compartment.

Replace the battery cover by sliding it into place until it “clicks”.

Monitoring the Handset Battery Level

The battery icon will show “full” if there is an adequate charge level on the battery. As the phone is used the battery will discharge. When the handset battery is low the display will show the battery icon in an “empty” state, the unit will “beep” every thirty (30) seconds, and the IN USE/NEW CALL light will flash. If you are using the phone, the phone will go dead after approximately two (2) minutes. Place the handset back into the base to recharge the battery.

Installing and Using Your CLS45i

To maximize the battery charge, place the handset back into the cradle when not in use and each night.

When out of the cradle, the battery typically holds a charge for several days, depending upon use.

Maximizing Handset Battery Life

To maximize the battery life, fully discharge the battery and recharge it occasionally.

Simply unplug your telephone line cord from the wall telephone jack.

Press TALK and allow the handset to remain on for 10 to 14 hours.

Then, reconnect the phone cord to the wall telephone jack.

Return the handset to the base and allow it to fully charge for 12 hours.

Doing this process monthly reduces the memory buildup that occurs from frequent, partial charging.

Monitoring the Level of the Backup Batteries in the Base

Chart 1 indicates how to read the lights and indicators on the base to determine the status of the batteries and AC power.

Connecting Your Telephone

Set the dial mode switch to T (tone) if you have touch tone service. Set the switch to P (pulse) if you have rotary dialing.

You may connect your telephone for desktop use or mounted on a wall.

• Raise the antenna on the base.

• Plug the other end of the telephone cord into the telephone wall jack.

• Plug the AC adapter into a standard 120V AC wall outlet.

Note: Use only with the #950 AC adapter supplied by Ameriphone.

CAUTION: Place the telephone and power cords where they will not interfere with movement, be dam aged or create a fire or other electrical hazard.

Wall Mounting

The wall mounting bracket is already installed on your CLS45i for your convenience. To attach your phone to the wall:

1. Locate a desired wall phone jack near an AC outlet.

Plug the short phone line cord into the wall jack as shown.

2. Hold the base unit of the phone upright then angle it downwards. Feel for the lower protruding nail or screw head and insert this head into the lower hole on the mounting bracket as shown in .

3. Next, insert the upper phone bracket onto the upper head. Slide the phone down until it is firmly in place on the wall. See .

4. Once the phone is firmly in place on the wall, attach the short line cord to the phone, plug the AC adapter into the phone, and attach the phone’s handset as shown in
