Installation
XL40D

DCP: Boost
XL40D
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
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
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
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.

DCP: Tone Settings
XL40D
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
The fourth tone setting provides full emphasis on speech
intelligibility using Clarity’s Multi-Band Compression.
This is for the user who may be able to hear the words being
spoken, but does not understand or cannot distinguish what
is being said.

Asimplified and easy to use customer
support service.
1. While talking to a Clarity representative,
the telephone sends information such
as its model name and settings to
Clarity.
2. The representative is immediately
aware of the type and current settings of
the phone. This will allow any
troubleshooting call to be quick and
simple, helping you find exactly what
you are looking for.
