MEMORY STORAGE
BOOST FUNCTION - AMPLIFY INCOMING
SOUNDS
1. Press and hold the desired memory location (M1-M11 and Emergency)
to store the number to. The phone will beep to con�rm you are in
memory programming mode. See Figure 10.
2. Enter the telephone number you wish to store (up to 31 digits). If no
button is pressed within 30 seconds, the phone will time out and goes
back to idle or talk mode.
3. Press the Hold/Program button to save the desired number. The phone
will beep to con�rm the number has been saved. See Figure 11.
4. To change a Memory location, reprogram using the same procedure
with the button to be changed.
1. While on a call, press the BOOST button to engage the ampli�er. The
XL40D has a BOOST button that controls the loudness of the receiver. See
Figure 6. Once the BOOST button is pressed, an extra level of ampli�cation
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 5 seconds. The BOOST light will illuminate
(blue) while the BOOST function is activated.
Warning: Volume may be at a high level. To protect hearing, lower
the Clarity Power Volume Control before using the phone.
2. Adjust the VOLUME slider to achieve the desired sound level (up to
50dB of ampli�cation). 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 16dB of volume before the BOOST button is activated. Once
the BOOST button is pressed, the XL40D will provide up to 50dB of gain.
See Figure 7.
3. Adjusting the TONE switch allows you to customize your hearing
experience. Since we all have different hearing preferences we suggest
exploring each setting to �nd the one most comfortable for you. These four
settings, along with our volume ampli�cation, are part of the Digital Clarity
Power (DCP™) technology. See Figure 8. The available settings are:
1- Low Frequency emphasis: best used to hear low pitched sounds;
2 - Flat frequency response: best for hearing aid users;
3 - Clarity Power/High frequency emphasis response: best used to
hear high frequency sounds;
4 - Multi Band Compression with high frequency emphasis response:
best setting for speech intelligibility.

Boost Override
On the bottom of the XL40D, there is a Boost 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 Boost Override switch 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 ampli�cation.
Setting this switch to “OFF” is useful when people with varying hearing ability

If there is a power outage, the XL40D will maintain its full ampli�cation for up
to 48 hours with four AA alkaline backup batteries (not included).
The phone operates as a regular phone if there is no power or backup
batteries. In this case, the indicator lights, the loud ringer, the lighted keypad
and the ampli�cation will be disabled; you will still be able to make and receive
phone calls, but the extra ampli�cation will not be enganged. We recommend
installing batteries if you live in an area with frequent power outages.

OUTGOING SPEECH AMPLIFICATION (OSA)
This function ampli�es your speech so it becomes louder to the person
on the other end of the call. To enable this function, press and hold the
BOOST/OSA button for 3 seconds (see �gure 12). The phone beeps; the
function can be enabled/disabled while on a phone call or in standby mode.
To verify the function is active, lift the handset and check the light at the
top of the phone. If the light is ORANGE, the function is active. To adjust
the level of ampli�cation for your voice, use the switch on the side of
the phone labeled Outgoing Speech Ampli�cation (OSA). You can choose
between three levels: Low, Med and High (see Figure 13).
To return to the default setting for your voice volume level, press and
hold the BOOST/OSA button again for 3 seconds. You will hear a beep
con�rming that the function is disabled. To verify, the light at the top of the
phone should not be orange when you are on a phone call.
NOTE: In order to experience the best audio quality for both parties
during a call, we recommend you turn on this function only if your voice is
too quiet. OSA is not active in speakerphone mode.
