OVERVIEW

The CrystalTone works just like a standard
telephone. It also has some very helpful
features. Please take a few minutes to
familiarize yourself with its capabilities.

AUDIO JACK

You can connect some assistive listening
devices and headsets directly into the
CrystalTone audio jack (3.5 mm).

SPEED-DIAL EMERGENCY BUTTONS

The CrystalTone has three special buttons that
you can program with emergency numbers.
When you need to dial an emergency number
quickly, such as the police, just lift the receiver
and press the button labeled with the picture
of a police badge ( ). The emergency
buttons are NOT preprogrammed. You will
need to program them before use (see “Saving
Emergency Numbers” on page 8).

SPEED-DIAL DIRECTORY BUTTONS

Save up to 10 frequently called numbers for
easy dialing. Once the number is saved, simply
lift the receiver and press the desired Speed­Dial button to place a call.

REDIAL BUTTON

When you get a busysignal, you can call back
later with the press of a button. The
button automatically calls the last number
that was dialed.

REDIAL

HOLD BUTTON

You can place a call on hold by pressing the

HOLD

button. Neither you nor the person on
the other end of the line will hear sounds from
the line. To resume your conversation, press

HOLD

the button a second time.

VOLUME (VOL)

Everyone in your house can use the
CrystalTone. When you need more volume,
just press the button. The CrystalTone
remembers any volume and tone adjustments
made previously. The amplification turns off
when the receiver is hung up or when is
pressed again.

LOUD RING WITH RING INDICATOR

The ringer has a separate volume control so
you can select the ring volume and pitch that
work best for you. Plus, the Ring Indicator
lights up whenever the phone rings to provide
a visual alert.

FLASH BUTTON

Some telephone service features like C a l l
Waitingrequire a “hook flash” which is a very
brief interruption of the connection like
hanging up the phone for one second. The
timing for a hook flash can be tricky but the

FLASH

button times it perfectly so you don’t
have to worry about accidentally
disconnecting your call.

OUTGOING VOLUME

You can amplify the sound of your voice being
heard by the person on the other end of the
line with the button (Outgoing
Volume).

MUTE BUTTON

You can silence your outgoing voice by
pressing the button. The person on the
other end of the line will not be able to hear
sounds from where you are.
