Switch on

The hearing amplifier automatically switches on when the receiver of the telephone is picked up. The green light on top of the unit lights up to indicate that the amplifier is switched on.

Setting the volume/tone

Set the volume control to low before picking up the telephone and adjust the high/low tone control to medium. Now the volume can be adjusted to your needs with the volume control. The high/low tone control can be used to alter the tone by amplifying high and low tones. Furthermore the output volume can be doubled by pressing the amplifier boost er button. The set volume is increased when the amplifier button is pressed down and held. The button must be disengaged while talking.

Power supply of the hearing amplifier

The PL-51 is operated with 2 batteries (type AA, LR6), which last up to 2 years. Rechargeable batteries of the same type can also be used.

Please note that when using rechargeable batteries the operating time is shortened. Unplug the telephone cord from the telephone connection socket before changing the batteries. The battery compartment is on the under side of the PL-51. Pressing the clip against the cover opens the battery compartment. The cover can now be lifted off. Insert 2 batteries as indicated by the markings in the battery compartment.

Then slide the cover back into its original position. Always use 2 new batteries (type AA, LR6) or equivalent rechargeable batteries.

What to do if problems occur

• Check all plugs for correct connection
• Handset cord on telephone amplifier/receiver
• Connection cord on telephone/telephone connection socket
• If necessary disconnect and reconnect all plugs (faulty contact)

Telephone connection operates but telephone amplifier does not function

• Open the battery compartment and check if the batteries are inserted correctly
• If necessary insert new batteries or fully charged rechargeable batteries

Adjustment of the PL-51 - changing of the wire assignment

As some telephones have different wire assignments the function of the PL-51 with those telephones is not warranted. However the PL-51 can be adjusted to different wire assignments. To do this the code board inside the battery compartment has to be repluged.

There are 4 possible positions for the code board: A, B, C and D.

Position A:

works with most telephones (delivery status of the PL-51)

Position B, C and D:

further possible wire assignments

Adjusting different wire assignments:

1. Unplug the telephone cord from the telephone connection socket
2. Open the cover of the battery compartment
3. Take out both batteries
4. Pull the code board out of the slot with caution and turn it.
5. Insert the code board back into the slot.
6. Insert the batteries (mind the polarity).
7. Close the battery compartment and plug the telephone cord back into the telephone connection soc+ket.

Should your telephone amplifier still not work, repeat the above steps.
