IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and understand the Installation Guide & User Manual. When using your telephone
equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury to person, including the following.

3
WARNING: The CL600 Emergency Connect Telephone should be tested regularly to
ensure proper delivery of your pre-recorded emergency message when activated by the
Emergency Button or the Remote Band. This is your responsibility as the user of the
product.
WARNING: Using the CL600 does not guarantee that you will make contact or receive
help. The CL600 is only an aid to assist you in calling for help.
WARNING: Certain structures within the household may block the transmitter signal. It
is up to the user to test the transmitter (Remote Band) within the first 30 days of use to
determine if any dead areas exist, and where they are located.
WARNING: Do not place the CL600 on any metal surface. It could reduce reception
range.
WARNING: The CL600 is capable of amplifying sounds to a loud volume. It is important to
instruct all potential users of its proper operation. It is advised to adjust the volume control
to the minimum level (Low) when not in use and alert other users that hearing damage can
potentially result from misuse.
WARNING: To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, do not use this product near water
(For example, near a bathtub, wash basin, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement
or near a swimming pool) while in the bathtub or shower or when you are wet. If the phone
becomes submerged in water, do not attempt to retrieve it until after you have unplugged
the line cord from the modular wall jack. Do not plug the phone back in until it has dried
completely.
WARNING: Avoid using the telephone during electrical storms. There may be a remote
risk of electric shock from lightning. If the electrical storm is present in your immediate
area, possibility of electrical shock exists.
WARNING: Do not use the phone if you suspect a gas leak in the area. The phone’s
electrical contacts could create a spark, which could ignite any heavy concentration of
leaking gas.
WARNING: Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on the telephone. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.
WARNING: The Remote Band is not waterproof or water resistant and may not be sub-
merged in water.
IMPORTANT: Test Your CL600! You should check the operation of your CL600 Phone at
least once per month to assure that it is operating properly.

Installation Steps
Installation of your ClearSounds™CL600 Emergency Connect Phone is easy. There are
some basic steps you need to take when you set-up your CL600 Emergency Connect
Phone for the first time.
1. Check parts list.
2. Install (4) AAA Alkaline batteries (not included). Batteries are necessary in case of
network power failure to save stored numbers in memory and are required for the
“Phone Book” use.
3. Choose desktop or wall mount.
4. Set the dialing mode.
5. Set ringer and auxiliary alert.
6. Program your memory dial buttons.
COMPONENTS
Check to be sure you have all items that come with your telephone. You should have a
REMOTE BAND, TELEPHONE BASE UNIT, TELEPHONE HANDSET, 6 ft LONG TELE-
PHONE LINE CORD, 8 inch SHORT TELEPHONE LINE CORD, HANDSET COIL CORD,
WALL PLATE ADAPTER, SCREWDRIVER, AC ADAPTER, AND OWNERS MANUAL
INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL BATTERIES
The batteries are necessary in case of network power failure to save stored numbers in
memory and are required for the “Phone Book” use.
1. Open the battery compartment door located on the bottom of your phone by un-
screwing the battery compartment door and removing it from the bottom of your
phone (screwdriver provided).
2. Insert correctly 4 AAA alkaline batteries (purchased separately) in the battery com-
partment (See diagram #6). Be sure to observe battery polarity as imprinted on the
base of the compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment door and screw back in place.
4. The batteries will last approximately 1 year before needing replacement.
NOTE: Always unplug the line cord before installing new batteries.
DIAGRAM #6- Installing the batteries

PHONE MOUNTING INSTALLATIONS
Choose a location for the CL600 Emergency Connect Telephone that is as central as
possible in the house, while providing access to a modular jack and an AC outlet. The
telephone may be placed on a shelf or table, or may be fixed to a wall using the mounting
bracket.
Plug the AC Adapter into the AC power back on the back of your phone, then into an
electrical outlet or surge protector, if you are using one. NOTE: The adapter is required
for the telephone to work correctly. If the adapter is accidentally unplugged (or in case
of power failure) and if the batteries are dead or not installed, minimal restricted phone
features only will work on the phone (make a call or answer incoming call).
IMPORTANT: Please remove the clear plastic Caller ID tab. This film tab is only for display
and to protect your Caller ID display during shipping.
Desk / Table Use
1. Connect one end of the 6ft telephone cord to the line jack on the back of your CL600
Phone and connect the other end to a modular phone jack (RJ11C).
2. Connect the handset coil cord (curly cord) to the handset and to the telephone (See
diagram #7).
3. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, your phone is ready
to use. If there is no dial tone, check all your cords to make sure they are plugged
in securely.
Wall Mount Use
1. Slide the handset hanger tab out and reverse its position (rotate it 180 degrees).
Slide it back into place so that the hook points up (See diagram #8). This will keep
the handset from falling out of the cradle when it is mounted on the wall.
2. Plug the 8in short phone cord into the telephone jack on the CL600, run phone cord
underneath wall plate adapter and through the opening.
3. Insert the Wall Plate adapter. Hold the wall plate adapter so that the raised mounting
pins line up with the phone’s keyholes on the CL600. Once the holes are lined up,
push the wall plate adapter in towards the CL600 and then slide the plate upwards
until it is securely seated on the phone. (See diagram #9)
4. With the Wall Plate adapter installed, plug the 8in short phone cord into the jack on
the wall.
DIAGRAM #7 – Desk Installation

12
5. Holding the phone slightly above the mounting screws on the wall jack, push the
phone against the mounting screws so they are hooked into upper and lower key-
hole slots on the back of the phone. Slowly slide the phone down until it snaps into
place (See diagram #10).
6. Connect the handset coil cord (curly cord) to the handset and to the telephone.
7. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, your phone is ready
to use. If there is no dial tone, check all your cords to make sure they are plugged in
securely.
SETTING THE DIALING MODE
The Tone/Pulse is factory pre-set to Tone (T). Please check with your local telephone
company if uncertain of the type of service. You can review or change the settings as
follows:
In the hook position (handset in cradle),
1. Press the MUTE button to access the special features.
2. Using the or arrow buttons (below the Caller ID Display), highlight <<SET
PHONE>>.
3. Press the OK (green) button.
4. Using the or arrow buttons, scroll to select <<TONE MODE OR PUSLE
MODE>>.
5. Press OK button.
6. Press the Cbutton 3 times to exit.

PROGRAMMING THE RINGER & AUXILIARY ALERT
Ringer Volume:
You can adjust the ringer volume of your CL600 as high as 95+ dB. The ringer volume
adjustment is located on the right side of the telephone. The settings are OFF, LO, HI, (See
diagram #11). Your phone comes with the ringer switched to HI. In additional to volume, you
can adjust the tone or melody of the ring.
Ring Style:
Your CL600 Phone allows you to choose from four different ring tones. You can choose a
new one by changing the settings as follows:
In the hook position
1. Press the MUTE button to access the special features (See diagram #12).
2. Using the or arrow buttons (below the Caller ID Display), highlight <<SET
PHONE>>.
3. Press the OK (green) button.
4. Using the or arrow buttons, scroll to select <<SET RING>>.
5. Press OK button.
6. There are four (4) ring tones available. To hear each ring, use the or
arrow button to highlight any one of the four and then press the OK button. Do this
with each one to find the best fit for you.
7. To save the ring tone, highlight the ring tone you want, and then press the Cbutton
three (3) times until you are back to the time and date display. Or after your selec-
tion, do nothing for 20 seconds and the ring type will automatically be saved for the
next incoming call.
Strobe & Optional Bed Shaker Ring Signaling:
Your ClearSounds™CL600 Emergency Connect Telephone incorporates several options
to alert you that the phone is ringing. The loud, adjustable Ringer as well as the bright
Strobe and optional Bed Shaker or any combination of these allow you to customize the
phone to fit your needs.
DIAGRAM #12 – Set The Ringer
DIAGRAM #11 – Ringer Volume Switch
: Off,
: Low,
: Hi

14
Your CL600 Phone is equipped with a bright STROBE light, which flashes a very bright
strobe when the phone rings (See diagram #13). It’s almost impossible to miss telephone
calls when you select the Strobe Ringer.
If you purchased the optional Bed Shaker, simply plug it into the shaker jack (See diagram
#14) and place it between your mattress and box spring. Caution: For safety and correct
functionality considerations, your CL600 Phone can only be guaranteed when used with
our ClearSounds™ Bed Shaker, model CS-SHK.
A 3-position switch located on the right side of the phone allows for the settings below (See
diagram #15). NOTE: The loud ringer will be triggered unless you have turned it “OFF”.
PROGRAMMING MEMORY DIAL BUTTONS
These memory dial buttons are empty. Should you choose to use this feature you will
need to select the telephone numbers for each button. It is recommended you store these
numbers during installation.
Your CL600 Phone allows you to program three Priority numbers and six frequently dialed
numbers into memory for future use (30 digits maximum for each button). We suggest you
program the emergency numbers for your local Police, Fire Station, Doctor or Hospital.
NOTE: Do not program 911 into any memory buttons!

the same procedure) for a phone number.
5. The Caller ID Screen will display <<SAVE OK>> (See diagram #19).
6. To register your stored phone numbers, use the phonebook insert card located
under the base.
NOTE: Numbers will be lost if the phone is not receiving any power, either through the

phone. Entering a new number in the same location will automatically erase the previous
number.

with whom you have discussed your CL600 Emergency Connect Phone system and who
would expect such a call (such as a friend, relative or neighbor). They will need to deter-
mine if there is a real problem and call for assistance to be sent if necessary. You should

Using the emergency connect phone
After setting the emergency connect SOS number(s) and message, you can use this func-
tion whenever required. Press the red (Emergency button) on the remote band or tele-
phone base. Once an emergency call is dialed, either from the phone or the remote band,
the ClearSounds CL600 immediately begins dialing your pre-programmed emergency
connect SOS numbers. The phone will dial the first emergency connect SOS number. If
there is no response in 30 seconds or if the line is busy, the phone will dial the second
number. If there is still no response in 30 seconds or if the line is still busy, the phone will
dial the next number in turn until all the numbers you set are dialed twice. If someone on
the other end lifts the handset, the phone will play the emergency connect SOS message
you recorded to ask for help. You can press the
X
button on the remote band or STOP
button on the phone base to deactivate the emergency connect SOS function.
When a person answers the phone, they will hear the emergency connect SOS message
playing. The person is required to press one of the keypad keys (0-9, * or #) to confirm
that the emergency connect SOS message has been received and to deactivate the
CL600 from dialing the next number. Next the CL600 Phone will automatically turn ON the
speakerphone allowing the person to speak to the emergency user. Otherwise, the CL600

18
Phone will dial the next emergency connect SOS number automatically.
NOTE: The friend, relative or neighbor whom you have chosen are required to have touch-
tone phone service and a phone that will generate touch-tone code.
Test the CL600 emergency connect phone
1. Make sure the phone numbers and your message have been entered.
2. Call your friends, family or neighbors to let them know you are going to test the
CL600. Be sure that they understand that this is not a real emergency.
3. After you hang up the phone, press the Remote Band’s Emergency Connect But-
ton.
4. The CL600 will dial the first phone number. Shortly after it dials the number, the
CL600 starts to play its message.
5. If the person it calls doesn’t answer within about 30 seconds or answers but doesn’t
press a number key, the CL600 calls the next number. If the called person presses a
number key on the phone, the recorded message stops and he/she can listen in as
well as speak directly to you through the speakerphone.
6. To turn off or hang up, press
X
or
STOP button on your band remote or on the
phone base.
Test your CL600 emergency connect remote band every month
At least once per month you should test your remote band’s emergency connect button by
following the directions above.
If your remote band does not work reliably from locations where it has worked before, you
should immediately replace the battery (see page #37) and check to be sure the phone’s
antenna is in its proper placement.
