MEMORY STORAGE
BOOST FUNCTION - AMPLIFY INCOMING
SOUNDS
1. Press and hold the desired memory location (M1-M10 and
Emergency) to store the number. The phone will beep to
confirm you are in memory programming mode. See Figure 10.
2. Enter the telephone number you wish to store (up to 31
digits). If no button is pressed within 30 seconds, the phone will
time out and go back to idle or talk mode.
3. Press the HOLD/PROGRAM button to save the desired
number. The phone will beep to confirm the number has been
saved. See Figure 11.
4. To change a Memory location, reprogram using the same
procedure with the button to be changed.
1. While on a call, press the BOOST button to engage the
amplifier. The XL40D 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 XL40D 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.

Boost Override
On the bottom of the XL40D, there is a Boost Override switch.
When this is set to ON the Boost function is automatically enabled
every time the phone is picked up. In standard use, when the Boost
Override switch is set to OFF, the Boost function will turn off after
the phone is hung up. Setting this switch to ON is suggested if all the
users of the phone need the amplification. Setting this switch to OFF
is useful when people with varying hearing ability use the phone. See
Figure 9.

Figure 5
If there is a power outage, the XL40D 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
enganged. We recommend installing batteries if you live in an area with
frequent power outages.

FEATURE LIST & OVERVIEW
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 button for three seconds (see Figure 12).
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 13).
To return to the default setting for your voice volume level, press and
hold the BOOST/OSA 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 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. OSA is not active in speakerphone mode.

When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the telephone.
3. Do not use this telephone near a bathtub, wash basin, kitchen sink
or laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool or anywhere
else there is water.
4. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during a
storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.
5. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the
leak.
6. Unplug this telephone from the wall outlets before cleaning. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on the telephone. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.
7. Place this telephone on a stable surface. Serious damage and/or
injury may result if the telephone falls.
8. Do not cover the slots and openings on this telephone. This
telephone should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register. This telephone should not be placed in a built-in installation
unless proper ventilation is provided.
9. Operate this telephone using the electrical voltage as stated on the
base unit or the owner’s manual. If you are not sure of the voltage in
your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
10. Do not place anything on the power cord. Install the telephone
where no one will step or trip on the cord.
11. Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can
increase the risk of fire or electrical shock.
12. Never push any objects through the slots in the telephone. They
can touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could
result in a risk of fire or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the telephone.
13. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not take this phone
apart. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock
when the appliance is subsequently used.
14. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to the
manufacturer under the following conditions: when the power supply
cord or plug is frayed or damaged; if liquid has been spilled into the
product; if the telephone has been exposed to rain or water; if the
telephone has been dropped or the case has been damaged; if the
telephone exhibits a distinct change in performance; if the telephone
does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions. Improper adjustment may require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the telephone to normal operation.
15. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
16. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is
specifically designed for wet locations.
17. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
18. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
