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

SPEAKER PHONE

Have your hands free by pressing the

button instead of lifting the
handset. The speaker phone offers traditional
volume levels only, adjustable up to 20 dB.

VOLUME (VOL)

Everyone in your house can use the
CrystalTone Plus. When you need ampli­fication, just press the button. The
CrystalTone Plus remembers any volume and
tone adjustments made previously. When you
press , the volume increases gradually so
you will not be surprised by a sudden change.
The amplification turns off when the handset
is hung up or when is pressed again.

TONE SLIDE CONTROL

Adjust the quality of sound that comes
through the handset to the range that works
best for you. With the slide control, you
can increase low- or high-frequency sounds.

SPEED-DIAL 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. Plus, there are
three special buttons that can be programmed
with emergency numbers. You choose what
number is stored for each button—the
emergency buttons are NOT preprogrammed.

REDIAL BUTTON

When you get a busy signal, you can call back
later with the press of a button. The
button automatically calls the last number
that was dialed (up to 32 digits long).

FLASH BUTTON

Some telephone service features like Call
Waiting require 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

button times it perfectly so you will not

accidentally disconnect your call.

HOLD BUTTON

You can put a call on hold by pressing the

button. Neither you nor the person on
the other end of the line will hear sounds from
the line.

LOUD RING WITH RING FLASHER

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

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).

SIGNAL LIGHT

The red Signal light visually indicates things
such as a dial tone or a busy signal. It reacts
to sound coming over the telephone line to let
you know what is happening. To indicate a
dial tone, it lights steadily. A busy signal is
indicated by quick flashing. When the other
phone is ringing, the Signal light blinks
slowly along with each ring.

AUDIO JACK

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