WALKER W300 FEATURES
Your Walker telephone is packed with features that will help you improve your communications over the telephone.
Clarity® Power ControlTM
The Clarity® Power ControlTM allows you to control the clarity of your phone conversations. It will let you hear clearly phone calls that are normally difficult to understand. The amplification will be increased up to 33 decibels and the frequency
band from 2000 to 3000Hz will be specially enhanced to improve the clarity of your call.
Boost Control
The W300 has a boost button that controls the loudness of the receiver. Once the boost button is pressed, the boost indicator will light and the volume will
jump to the volume level indicated by the volume control.
To Increase Clarity® PowerTM
Slide the button marked Clarity Power toward the right.
To Decrease Clarity® PowerTM
Slide the button toward the left. The extreme left is the level of a normal telephone conversation.
Clarity® Effect (On/Off
Switch) Smart Tone Control
Clarity ON insures the user that the high frequency sounds are being amplified more than lower frequencies so that words are not just louder, but clearer and easier to understand. Clarity OFF provides the loudest output possible.
Boost Reset Switch
The W300 has a reset switch located on the back of the unit. This switch will disable the reset feature of the boost button upon hang up as follows:
ON– When the Boost override switch is in “on” position volume will remain at the current volume control setting. This eliminates the need to press the boost button with each phone call.
OFF – When the Boost Override switch is in “off” position volume will reset to nominal upon hangup. The boost button will need to be depressed with each phone call to restore settings.
WARNING: When Boost button is lit volume may be at a high level. To protect hearing, lower volume control to minimum.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE
Phone Will Not Operate
Disconnect any other equipment that may be attached to the phone. Check your phone cords and connections. Try a different line cord and/or handset cord to determine if the problem is with one of the cords. If problem lies in the cord simply replace the cord.
Dialing Problems
• Can’t Dial Out
Make sure that TONE/PULSE switch is set correctly. Phone should be set to TONE if you have touch tone service
from your phone company. Phone should be set to PULSE if operating with rotary dial service.
• Phone Doesn’t Dial Out
OnFirst Attempt
Your phone may be at the end of a long line of phones, due to the way the phone company installed the wiring in your neighborhood. In this case, your phone may not get enough power from the phone line. Try waiting 3-5 seconds after lifting the handset before dialing the number. Wait for the sound level indicator to light solid before dialing.
Programming Problems
• Can’t Store Numbers
Into Memory
Your new Walker phone must charge for two (2) hours before you can program any numbers into it.
• Loss Of Numbers
Programmed Into Memory
Your Walker phone will maintain its memory for up to 12 hours during a power loss. If you unplug the phone from the telephone line for long periods or lose your phone service for an extended period of time you will need to reprogram the phone.
Programming Personal
Access Codes
• Difficulty Programming
Account Numbers
Your TONE/PULSE selector must be switched to the TONE mode to enter account numbers. This is because most interactive phone systems require TOUCH TONE to operate. If your phone service is rotary service, you must have the switch set to PULSE to dial a number. Once you are connected move the switch to TONE and enter your responses using TOUCH TONE mode. When your call is complete move the switch back to PULSE so you are ready to make your next call.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE
Static On Line |
Feedback Problems. |
• Interference From |
• Feedback Occurs When |
Household Appliances |
Handset Is Set Down |
Your Walker phone may be located near a touch lamp, microwave or refrigerator which may cause interference. Relocating your phone to another area may eliminate the problem.
A cordless phone on your phone line may also cause static. Try disconnecting your cordless phone for several days. This may eliminate the problem.
Disconnect any extra devices which may be attached to the phone. Extra devices may include cord detangler’s, caller ID units, and answering machines.
• Interference From
Malfunctioning, Frayed
Or Poorly Connected
Telephone Cords
Check your phone cords and connections. Try interchanging cords with another phone to see if the problem is eliminated. Replace any defective equipment.
Avoid setting receiver on a hard surface or attach a foam receiver pad to earpiece of phone. You can also lay the receiver on its side. This will eliminate feedback also.
Transmission Problems
•The Person On The Other End Cannot Hear You
Too many phones or phone devices on the line may effect your phone’s transmission. As a guideline, more than five (5) phones or phone devices may overload the phone line. Disconnect one (1) or two
(2) of the devices to see if that eliminates the problem. If not, contact your local phone company for load guidelines.
You may not be speaking directly into the transmitter. Always speak directly into the mouthpiece in your normal tone of voice.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE
Compatibility
•Walker W300’s Are Compatible With Digital PBX Systems
If a standard, single line phone works, your Walker phone should also work.
• Walker W300’s Are Not
Compatible With Key Systems
Or AT&T PBX Systems
These units have a large electronic box controlling many phones as one unit. These types of units may be found in office buildings and some retirement homes, nursing homes and condos.
Ringer Volume Problem
•Unable To Hear Phone Ringer
Make sure the ringer volume is not set to OFF.
Slide the volume adjustment switch to the large dot and the pitch adjustment switch to the small dot. This will cause the ringer to sound at its loudest and lowest frequency. Typically, low frequencies are easier for people with hearing loss to detect.
Consider purchasing a variable pitch auxiliary ringer such as the Walker WR100. These devices are exceptionally loud and can be plugged into any phone outlet in your home.
Interference Problems
•User Hears Radio Or CB Transmissions Over The Phone
Contact your local phone company to have your telephone line checked. A Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) filter may be put on the line to minimize this problem.
If you have any telephone service problems, first make sure you have followed all of the installation procedures outlined in this user’s guide. Then try to determine if the source of the problem is the Walker W300 itself or your phone service. To do this, disconnect the Walker W-300 and plug in your standard telephone. If the trouble persists with the standard telephone, inform your telephone company.
If the trouble is related to only the Walker W300, review the installation procedures and the troubleshooting guide before referring to the Limited Warranty stated later in this user guide.

Your Walker W300 has been registered with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This product complies with standards of Part 68 of the FCC Rules. The FCC requires us to provide you with the following information:
1. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network
The FCC requires that you connect your product to the nationwide telephone network through a modular telephone outlet or USOC JR-11C. This equipment may not be used with party line service or with coin telephone lines.
2. Notification to the telephone company
Upon request of your local telephone company, you are required to provide them with the following information:
A.The “line” to which you will connect the telephone equipment (that is, your telephone number).
B.The telephone equipment’s FCC registration number and ringer equivalent number (REN). These numbers are on the bottom of your telephone equipment. The REN is useful to determine how many devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN’s should be five or less. You may want to contact your local telephone company for future information.
3. Repair Instructions
If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that it not be used and that it be unplugged from the modular outlet until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its authorized agents, or by others who may be authorized by the FCC. For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the Walker Limited Warranty.
4. Rights of the telephone company
If your product is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue your telephone service. If advance notice isn’t practical, you’ll be notified as soon as possible. You’ll be given the opportunity to correct the problem, and you’ll be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, operations, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your Walker telephone. If such changes are planned, you’ll
be notified.
