Thank you for purchasing the C4230, 5.8 GHz amplified cordless phone, from Clarity. Using our patented Digital Clarity Power, the C4230 clearly amplifies incoming sound up to 50 dB while cutting out background noise. This phone has many features including a digital answering machine and speakerphone.

This User Guide and Quick Start Guide will provide you with the information you need to use your C4230 effectively, easily and safely. Read this manual thoroughly before using this telephone. Keep the manual near the phone for easy reference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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:

I. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the telephone.
3. Do not use this telephone near a bath tub, 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 in the owner's manual. If you are not sure of the voltage in your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

  1. Do not place anything on the power cord. Install the telephone where no one will step or trip on the cord.
    II. Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can increase the risk of fire or electrical shock.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to the manufacturer under the following conditions:
    A. When the power supply cord or plug is frayed or damaged.
    B. If liquid has been spilled into the product.
    C. If the telephone has been exposed to rain or water.
    D. 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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

work by a qualified technician to restore the telephone to normal operation.

E. If the telephone has been dropped or the case has been damaged.
F. If the telephone exhibits a distinct change in performance.
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.
19. Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in the manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
20. Plug the AC adaptor into the outlet that is nearest and most accessible to the telephone.

Exposure to high volume sound levels may damage your hearing. Although there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone, you should always use the handset with the volume set at moderate levels and avoid prolonged exposure to high volume sound levels. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. If you experience hearing discomfort, you should stop

using the handset. To protect your hearing, some hearing experts suggest that you:

I. Set the volume control in a low position and then adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
2. Limit the amount of time you use the handset at high volume.
3. Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

CHILDREN: Never allow children to play with the product – small parts may be a choking hazard and the amplified volume may cause hearing damage.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES

Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

I. Use only the approved battery pack in the handset of your cordless phone.

For Handset Unit:

3.6V 800mAh Ni-MH AAA

GPI International Ltd.:

  1. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire as it may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
  2. Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes and skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

c) The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.

The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

Your equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation; if this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

I. Where it can be done safely, reorient the receiving television or radio antenna.
2. To the extent possible, relocate the television, radio or other receiver with respect to the telephone equipment. (This increases the separation between the telephone equipment and the receiver.)
3. Connect the telephone equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the television, radio, or other receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced Radio/TV Technician for help.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier.

Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

The Ringer Equivalence Number is an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface.
