INTRODUCTION FEATURES

Thank you for purchasing the Clarity Professional XL50 Amplified Telephone.

Clarity is proud to offer you the only certified 60dB phone in the market. The Clarity Professional XL50 offers our patented Digital Clarity Power that uses digital technology to enhance the volume and clarity of your phone conversations. This User Guide and Quick Start Guide will provide you with the information you need to use your XL50 effectively, easily and safely. Read this manual thoroughly before using your telephone. Keep the manual near the telephone for easy reference.

Digital Clarity Power™ Technology

With Digital Clarity Power, high frequency sounds are amplified more than low frequency sounds so words are not just louder, but clearer and easier to understand. It also provides intelligent amplification to make soft sounds audible, while keeping loud sounds bearable.

Tone Selection

Another added benefit of our patented Digital Clarity Power is the ability to customize the phones performance to your specific hearing needs. The XL50 has four available tone settings that each provide different solutions to help you better hear phone conversations.

Smart-Plexing Technology

Smart-Plexing is the new and advanced way that the XL50 deals with possible feedback issues and is unique to Clarity phones. Feedback occurs when the sound coming out of the earpiece is detected by the microphone on the handset and is reprocessed by the telephone. This causes the telephone to squeal or howl. Most phones will temporarily shut off the microphone to fix this problem, but that results in only one person being able to talk at a time. The Clarity Professional XL50 uses a "smart plexing system where it enables full functionality on both ends of the conversation at all times. Only Clarity offers such a solution that will allow full conversation while controlling feedback.

Notification Accessories

A Wireless Lamp Flasher and Bed Shaker can be connected to the phone to allow for a variety of ways to alert the user that the phone is ringing. The Wireless Lamp Flasher will cause any connected light source to flash when the phone rings. The Bed Shaker is an accessory that will begin to vibrate when the phone rings.

(Pleasesee page 16 of this guide for instructions.)

INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL CLARITY POWER

Digital Clarity Power™ Technology

With Digital Clarity Power, the high frequency sounds are amplified more than the low frequency sounds so words are not just louder, but clearer and easier to understand. It also provides intelligent amplification to make soft sounds audible while keeping loud sounds tolerable.

To enable this type of technology, there is actually a computer running information inside the phone. Each time the handset is picked up, the computer will take a little less than a second to engage. This means that any numbers that are dialed or words that are spoken before the computer engages, will not be recognized or heard by the phone.

Figure A

Clarity Power BOOST Button

The XL50 has a BOOST button that controls the loudness of the receiver. See Figure A. 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 while the BOOST function is activated. See Page 23.

Warning: Volume may be at a high level. To protect hearing, lower the Clarity Power Volume Control before using the phone.

Volume Reset Override

On the bottom of the XL50, there is a Volume Reset 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 Override 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 B.

Clarity Power Volume Control

The Clarity Power Volume Control adjusts the level of volume the handset both in Boost or non-Boost modes. The volume dial provides up to 15dB of volume before the BOOST button is activated. Once the BOOST button is pressed, the XL50 will provide up to 60dB of gain. See Figure C.

TONE Switch

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. The available settings are: low frequency amplification, flat amplification, Clarity Power (high frequency) amplification, and Multi-band Compression (high frequency) amplification. See Figure D and the overview of tone settings featured on pages 12-13.

Figure B

Figure C

Figure D

OVERVIEW OF XL50 TONE SETTINGS

The XL50 offers four different tone settings to provide an experience that may be customized to fit a specific users need. The illustration above shows how the four settings relate to each other and the amount of amplification they give to the different frequencies of sound.

The following charts illustrate each tone setting separately. Read each explanation and examine the charts to help decide what setting will be most beneficial. In addition, make sure to listen to each setting while making a decision. The best way to choose between the settings is to listen to them all and decide which one provides the best telephone conversation experience.

The first tone setting is one that emphasizes the low frequency sounds. This is for those who have a hard time hearing lower pitched sounds.

OVERVIEW OF XL50 TONE SETTINGS

The second tone is a flat amplification of all sounds. This is for the user who wants full volume amplification for every type of sound. This is suggested if the user is wearing a digital hearing aid while using the phone.

The third tone setting is our set Clarity Power that begins to focus more on the higher frequency sounds and add speech intelligibility. It is a medium between tone setting two (2) and four (4).

The fourth tone setting provides full emphasis on speech intelligibility using Clarity's Multi-Band Compression. Clarity MBC also enables the phone to amplify the soft sounds to an audible level while controlling the louder sounds, keeping them bearable. This is for the user who may be able to hear the words being spoken, but does not understand or cannot distinguish what is being said.

GETTING STARTED

GETTING STARTED

There are five initial steps involved in setting up your XL50

I. Insert four AA alkaline batteries for back-up in case of AC power outage. See below.
2. Decide if you want the phone to sit on a desk or hang on the wall.
3. Connect the telephone components. Pages 15-16.
4. Program up to 10 telephone numbers to call with the press of a memory button. See Page 18.
5. Set up Notification Options. See Page 20.

Installing the Backup Batteries

If there is a power outage, the XL50 will operate for up to 48 hours with four AA alkaline backup batteries (not included). If the phone is not in use, the batteries will stay charged for several months. See Figure 1.

TROUBLESHOOTING

No Dial Tone/Phone Will Not Operate

1. Check all phone cords and connections. Make sure they are plugged in securely.
2. Plug unit into a different phone jack to help determine if the difficulty is with the phone or the phone jack.
3. Switch out handset or telephone line cords.
4. Disconnect any other equipment that may be attached to the phone.

Unable To Dial Out

1. Make sure TONE/PULSE switch is set correctly.
2. Phone may be at the end of a long line of phones (loop). Phone may not be getting enough power from the phone line. It may be necessary to wait for a few seconds after lifting the handset to begin dialing.
3. The XL50 is not compatible with Digital PBX Systems. If a standard, single line phone works on the system, your XL50 should also.

The Person On The Other End Cannot Hear You

1. There is an advanced computer running inside the XL50. Sometimes after the handset is picked up, it will take a little less than a second to engage the phone. Since it is not immediate, if you dial a number before the computer engages, it will not receive the entire phone number that is dialed.
2. Too many phones or phone devices on the line may affect 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) devices to see if that eliminates the problem. If not, contact your local phone company for load guidelines.
3. You may not be speaking directly into the transmitter. Always speak directly into the mouth piece in your normal tone of voice.

Interference

1. Check cords and connections. Frayed or poorly connected cords can cause interference. Swap cords if necessary.

2. A RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) filter can be placed on the line to help minimize or eliminate radio or CB transmissions. Try relocating the telephone to another area.

Unable To Hear Phone Ringer

1. Too many phone or phone devices on a line may cause your phone to not ring. Disconnect one (1) or two (2) of the devices to see if the problem is eliminated. If not, contact your local phone company for load guide lines.
2. If power is not being supplied to the phone, the extra loud ringer will not work.

Volume Control Does Not Work

BOOST must be activated to turn on the additional amplification.

Static On The Line

1. Your phone may be located near a touch lamp, microwave, refrigerator or other household appliances. Try relocating your phone to another area.
2. A cordless phone on your line may cause static. Try disconnecting the cordless phone. This may eliminate the problem.
3. Extra devices attached to the telephone, such as CID units and answering machines may cause static. Disconnecting the devices may eliminate the problem.
4. If there is also a DSL service in the home, this will cause interference on the line. That interference is then amplified by the phone, causing a less than optimal quality of conversation. Install the phone line filter provided by the DSL service provider to reduce the amount of interference on the line.

Unable to Access Automated Systems

Automated systems used by banks, long distance voicemail and other applications require that a phone be set to "tone" dialing. Check the switch on the back of the phone labeled "T/P" and set to "T." This will enable the phone to be compatible with these automated systems.

TROUBLESHOOTINGTROUBLESHOOTII

If No Power is being Supplied to the Phone.

1. If the power goes out, or the AC Adapter is not properly connected to the phone, several functions of the phone will not work. The amplification, extra loud ringer, and the lighted keypad will not function properly.
2. The phone will drain the backup batteries very quickly. This will cause the need for the batteries to be changed frequently and the Low Battery indicator light to constantly illuminate.

Do I Need to Install Batteries?

Batteries are optional. They provide backup in case of a power outage. They are recommended in areas of frequent power outages. This phone uses four (4) alkaline batteries. They will sustain the following functions: amplification, keypad backlighting and loud ringer volume.

Still Not Working?

If, after going through this checklist, the XL50 is still not functioning properly, press the blue ClarityLogic button (upper right corner of the phone) for direct access to a Customer Care Representative.

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. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed five.

(The term "IC:" before the certification/ registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met.)
