INSTALLING YOUR XL45

Install the backup batteries (optional) by removing the battery cover as shown in Figure 1. Connect your telephone as shown in Figure 2.

Connect one end of the phone cord into the (square) LINE port on the back of the phone; connect the other end of the phone cord into your wall telephone outlet.

Connect one end of the (curly) handset cord into the handset jack on

the left side of your base; connect the other end of the handset cord into the bottom of the handset. Place handset in cradle.

Connect the DC adapter cord into the (round) DC 9V 500mA port

on the back of your phone; plug the adapter into your wall’s electrical outlet. When ﬁnished, lift handset to test. If you hear a dial tone, your telephone is

ready for use. If not, check all connections again.

Figure 2

Figure 1

Remove battery cover using a

thin object (like the tip of a pen) to push down the tab shown by

the arrow above. If there is a power outage, the XL45 will maintain its full ampliﬁcation for up to 48 hours with four AA alkaline backup batteries (not included).

The phone operates as a regular phone if there is no power or backup batteries. In this case, the indicator lights, the loud ringer, the lighted keypad and the ampliﬁcation will be disabled; you will still be able to make and receive phone calls, but the extra ampliﬁcation will not be engaged. We recommend installing batteries if you live in an area with frequent power outages.

WALL MOUNTING YOUR XL45

1. Pull the handset hook out of the base and reverse its position so that the hook points up and will hold the handset when you hang up. See Figure 3.

2. Plug one end of the short ﬂat telephone line cord into the jack marked LINE located on the back of the telephone. Then run the cord through the groove on the back of the phone. Insert the tabs of the mounting bracket into the slots in the back of the phone. Push the mounting bracket in and down ﬁrmly until it snaps into place. See Figure 4.

3. Plug the ﬂat telephone line cord into the wall plate jack, then align the mounting bracket’s keyhole slots with the wall plate studs and slide the base of the phone downward to secure it on the wall. See Figure 5.

FEATURE LIST & OVERVIEW

1. While on a call, press the BOOST button to engage the ampliﬁer. The XL45 has a BOOST button that controls the loudness of the receiver. See Figure 6. Once the BOOST button is pressed, an extra level of ampliﬁcation is added over the entire range of the Volume Control. During a call, the BOOST button can toggle the Clarity Power function on or off according to the user’s needs. The BOOST button will reset automatically every time the phone is hung up for at least ﬁve seconds. The BOOST light will illuminate (blue) while the BOOST function is activated.

Warning: Volume may be at a high level. To protect hearing, lower the Clarity Power Volume Control before using the phone.

2. Adjust the VOLUME slider to achieve the desired sound level (up to 50dB of ampliﬁcation). The Clarity Power Volume Control adjusts the level of volume in the handset both in Boost or non-Boost modes. The volume dial provides up to 16dB of volume before the BOOST button is activated. Once the BOOST button is pressed, the XL45 will provide up to 50dB of gain. See Figure 7.

3. Adjusting the TONE switch allows you to customize your hearing experience. Since we all have different hearing preferences, we suggest exploring each setting to ﬁnd the one most comfortable for you. These four settings, along with our volume ampliﬁcation, are part of the Digital Clarity Power (DCP™) technology. See Figure 8. The available settings are: 1 - Low frequency emphasis: best used to hear low pitched sounds; 2 - Flat frequency response: best for hearing aid users; 3 - Clarity Power/High frequency emphasis response: best used to hear high frequency sounds; 4 - Multi Band Compression with high frequency emphasis response: best setting for speech intelligibility. NOTE: The screen displays the volume and tone levels.

CALLER ID OPERATIONS

Caller ID Operations

Caller ID is a service that is provided through your local telephone company. This telephone will automatically display the incoming caller’s name and number along with the date and time of the call. It will record up to 40 calls.

When there is a new incoming call, the CID information will display on the second ring. The ﬁrst row on the display will have the caller’s ID (name). If there is no information, the row will be blank. The second row displays the incoming telephone number. If the number is longer than 11 digits, the LCD will toggle the displayed number between the ﬁrst 11 digits and the remaining digits.

NOTE: The time and date will automatically register after receiving your ﬁrst call.

View CID

To view CID information press the MENU button. “View CID?” will display with the options of “1 Yes 2 No.” Select “Yes” by pressing the one (1) button and the most recent incoming call will be displayed. Press the down arrow to view the next CID entry.

If there are no new calls, the screen will display “No Calls”. You can also access the CID records by pressing UP or DOWN keys from the standby screen. See Figure 10.

NOTE: The display will time out and go to the standby screen if you have not made a selection within 30 seconds.

NOTE: You can view the CID list by pressing either the UP or DOWN key from standby (idle) mode.

NOTE: If there is a new CID, “New VMail screen” and the number of new CID entries screen (example: “2 Calls”) will alternate.

OUTGOING SPEECH AMPLIFICATION (OSA)

This function ampliﬁes your speech so it becomes louder to the person on the other end of the call. To enable this function, press and hold the BOOST/ OSA ON/OFF button for three seconds (see Figure 18). The phone beeps; the function can be enabled/disabled while on a phone call or in standby mode. To verify the function is active, lift the handset and check the light at the top of the phone. If the light is orange, the function is active. To adjust the level of ampliﬁcation for your voice, use the switch on the side of the phone labeled “Outgoing Speech Ampliﬁcation” (OSA). You can choose between three levels: Low, Med and High (see Figure 19).

To return to the default setting for your voice volume level, press and hold the BOOST/OSA ON/OFF button again for three seconds. You will hear a beep conﬁrming that the function is disabled. To verify, the light at the top of the phone should not be orange when you are on a phone call.

NOTE: In order to experience the best audio quality for both parties during a call, we recommend you turn on this function only if your voice is too quiet. The screen brieﬂy displays “OSA ON” or “OSA OFF” when the changes are made. OSA is not active in speakerphone mode.

TROUBLESHOOTING

No Dial Tone/Phone Will Not Operate

1. Check all phone cords and connections. Make sure they are plugged in securely.

2. Plug unit into a different phone jack to help determine if the difﬁculty is with the phone or the phone jack.

3. Switch out handset or telephone line cords.

4. Disconnect any other equipment that may be attached to the phone.

Unable To Dial Out

1. Make sure the TONE/PULSE switch is set correctly.

2. Phone may be at the end of a long line of phones (loop). Phone may not be getting enough power from the phone line. It may be necessary to wait for a few seconds after lifting the handset to begin dialing.

3. The XL45 is not compatible with Digital PBX Systems. If a standard, single line phone works on the system, your XL45 should as well.

4. There is an advanced computer running inside the XL45. Sometimes after the handset is picked up, it will take a little less than a second to engage the phone. Since it is not immediate, if you dial a number before the computer engages, it will not receive the entire phone number that is dialed.

The Person On The Other End Cannot Hear You

1. Too many phones or phone devices on the line may affect your phone’s transmission. As a guideline, more than ﬁve phones or phone devices may overload the phone line. Disconnect one or two devices to see if that eliminates the problem. If not, contact your local phone company for load guidelines.

2. You may not be speaking directly into the transmitter. Always speak directly into the mouthpiece in your normal tone of voice.

Unable To Hear Phone Ringer

1. Too many phone or phone devices on a line may cause your phone to not ring. Disconnect one or two of the devices to see if the problem is eliminated. If not, contact your local phone company for load guidelines.

2. If power is not being supplied to the phone, the extra loud ringer will not work.

3. Check the Ringer ON/OFF switch to see if the ringer is off. If it is, move it to the ON position.

Volume Control Does Not Work

1. BOOST must be activated to turn on the additional ampliﬁcation.

2. Check power connections. BOOST will not work without power or backup batteries.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Static On The Line

1. Your phone may be located near a touch lamp, microwave, refrigerator or other household appliances. Try relocating your phone to another area.

2. A cordless phone on your line may cause static. Try disconnecting the cordless phone, as this may eliminate the problem.

3. Extra devices attached to the telephone, such as CID units and answering machines, may cause static. Disconnecting the devices may eliminate the problem.

4. If there is also DSL service in the home, this will cause interference on the line. That interference is then ampliﬁed by the phone, causing a less than optimal quality of conversation. Install the phone line ﬁlter provided by the DSL service provider to reduce the amount of interference on the line.

Interference

1. Check cords and connections. Frayed or poorly connected cords can cause interference. Swap cords if necessary.

2. A RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) ﬁlter can be placed on the line to help minimize or eliminate radio or CB transmissions. Try relocating the telephone to another area.

Unable To Access Automated Systems

Automated systems used by banks, long distance voicemail and other applications require that a phone be set to “TONE” dialing. Check the switch on the back of the phone labeled “T/P” and set to “T.” This will enable the phone to be compatible with these automated systems.

If No Power Is Being Supplied To The Phone

1. If the power goes out, or the AC Adapter is not properly connected to the phone, several functions of the phone will not work. The ampliﬁcation, extra loud ringer and the lighted keypad will not function properly.

2. The phone will drain the backup batteries very quickly. This will cause the need for the batteries to be changed frequently and the Low Battery indicator light to constantly illuminate.

Do I Need To Install Batteries?

Batteries are optional. They provide backup in case of a power outage. They are recommended in areas of frequent power outages. This phone uses four alkaline batteries. They will sustain the ampliﬁcation function.

Still Not Working? If, after going through this checklist, the XL45 is

still not functioning properly, call ClarityLogic at 1-877-LOGIC24 (1-877-564-4224) or Clarity at 1-800426-3738.

Part 15 of FCC Rules Information

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Your equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation; if this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception (which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on) you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

1. Where it can be done safely, reorient the receiving television or radio antenna.

2. To the extent possible, relocate the television, radio or other receiver with respect to the telephone equipment. (This increases the separation between the telephone equipment and the receiver.)

3. Connect the telephone equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the television, radio or other receiver is connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING: Changes or modiﬁcations not expressly approved by the manufacturer responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company.

In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certiﬁed connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to certiﬁed equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier.

Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

WARNING: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
