DCP: Boost

The BOOST button controls the loudness of
the receiver. Once the BOOST button is
pressed, an extra level of amplification is added
over the entire range of the Volume Control.
BOOST also activates the Tone Settings
On the bottom of the XL40D, 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.

DCP: Tone Settings
XL40D Training
The XL40D 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 best way to choose between the settings is to listen to them all and
decide which one provides the best telephone conversation experience.

DCP: Tone Settings
XL40D Training
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.
This type of hearing need is common with those who have
noise-induced hearing loss.

DCP: Tone Settings
XL40D Training
The second tone is a flat amplification of all sounds.
For the user who wants full volume amplification for every type of sound.
Suggested if the user wears 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).

DCP: Tone Settings
XL40D Training
The fourth tone setting provides full emphasis on speech intelligibility
using Clarity’s Multi-Band Compression.

but does not understand or cannot distinguish what is being said.
