Power Technology
With the Clarity Power feature the high
frequency sounds are amplified more
than the low frequency sounds so that
words are not just louder, but clearer
and easier to understand.
Clarity Power ON/OFF Switch
With the Clarity Power feature ON, the
high frequency sounds are amplified
more than the low frequency sounds
(Clarity Power). The Clarity Power is
introduced automatically with volume
increase. Clarity Power OFF provides
no frequency shaping, but simply deliv-
ers the loudest output possible.
Clarity Power BOOST Button
The C500 has a BOOST button that
controls the loudness of the receiver.
Once the BOOST button is pressed, an
extra level of amplification is added
over the entire range of the Volume
Control. The default state of this button
is determined by the Boost switch (back
of base of unit, see below). During a
call, the CLARITY POWER 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 5 seconds (if Boost switch is in
OFF position – see BOOST ON/OFF
switch description below). This is done
to protect users of the phone who
may not need the powerful amplifica-
tion of the C500. The BOOST button
will light RED to indicate the Boost
function is active.
Warning: Volume may be at a high
level. To protect hearing, lower the
Clarity Power Control Dial before
using the phone.
Clarity Power Control Dial
The CLARITY POWER dial controls the
level of volume the handset and headset
receive, both in Boost or non-Boost
modes. The volume dial provides up to
15 dB of volume before the CLARITY
POWER button is activated. Once the
CLARITY POWER button is pressed, the
C500 will provide up to 30 dB of gain.
BOOST ON/OFF Switch
The BOOST switch will determine the
default state of the BOOST button. If the
switch is in ON position, the BOOST
button will illuminate, and the Boost
function will be by default ON – every
time a call starts, the Boost function is
active. The Boost function will default to
ON every time the phone hangs up,
