3. For additional, situational amplification, press and hold the HANDSET BOOST but-
ton located just below the earpiece on the inside of the handset
(See figure #27).
By
pressing and holding this additional handset boost button, you get an extra 10 dB
gain of amplification.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Handset Boost button is designed to be used when listening
only. When you are ready to speak, release the button. Press it again when the extra
amplification is necessary. Failure to release the button when speaking will result in the
other party not hearing you. Use this additional handset boost button
(See figure #27)
for
the following reasons:
a. The caller has a very soft speech
b. There is a lot of background noise
c. You are in a noisy environment
d. The connection on the phone line is weak
CAUTION: This telephone can produce very high (loud) sound levels. Repeated incre-
mental exposure to amplification levels greater than 18 dB may be harmful to people
without hearing loss. Always adjust the volume control to the minimum setting after using
the phone and alert other users that hearing damage can potentially result from misuse.
