About your new CLS45i
3
The CLS45i is the flagship of the Ameriphone®
product line. It has been custom-engineered with an
unprecedented array of features to provide years
of convenience and assistance. It is powered by
the latest technology yet thoughtfully designed for
ease-of-use, especially for people who have trouble
hearing on the telephone.
The CLS45i is a Dual-Speaker Amplified Cordless
Telephone with 2.4GHz technology for greatly
increased power and extended operating range.
It is, literally, two-phones-in-one ... two speaker-
phones. There are speakers in both the handset and
the base. This means that when the handset is
either in or out of the base you can use the base as
a standard speakerphone. There are dialing keypads
and stored number memories in both the handset
and the base. And, you can also use the handset
independently as another speakerphone in another
location in your home. You can also use it as an
intercom between rooms.
The CLS45i has a powerful 40dB amplifier with
separate volume and tone controls so that you can
tailor the incoming sounds to the loudness and fre-
quency that best suits your hearing. Plus, its bright,
red ring flashers and super-loud ringers in both the
base and handset make sure you know when your
phone is ringing.
Your new phone is designed to achieve the maxi-
mum possible range by transmitting and receiving
according to the highest specifications set forth by
the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at
a maximum distance with the qualification that the
range depends upon the environment in which the
telephone is used. While using the telephone you
may experience interference from other electronic
devices. If you use the handset near a microwave
oven which is being used, noise may be heard from
the receiver or the speaker. Move away from
the microwave oven and closer to the base unit.
During a call, as you begin to move your handset
too far from your base unit, noise increases. If you
pass the range limits of the base unit, your call will
be terminated.
The CLS45i has both Caller ID and Call Waiting
Caller ID capabilities. You will need to subscribe to
the telephone company’s Caller ID service to use
these features. The LCD screen on the handset lets
you view Caller ID information easily. It also guides
you through the few simple steps to set up the
other Special Features of the CLS45i.
On the base you’ll find seven (7) one-touch speed
dial memory buttons, including three red buttons
specifically designated for emergency numbers.
You can store other numbers in these memory
locations if you wish, but emergency numbers will
always be easiest to access if you store them in the
red memory locations (ER5, ER6 and ER7).
Note: The CLS45i employs sophisticated circuitry
to minimize acoustic feedback (squealing) while it is
placed against your ear. However, you may experi-
ence some feedback while returning the handset to
the base. To alleviate this either turn the phone off
or turn the amplifier off before returning the hand-
set to the base.
The handset can store frequently called numbers in
ten (10) two-touch buttons.
The CLS45i has many other features and functions
and they are explained in the following pages.
We hope you enjoy using your new CLS45i and
that you are pleased with the added capability and
independence it makes possible for you.
