INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your AMPLI600 telephone.
This is a multifunction telephone which offers features such as hands free
use, phonebook and caller display*. It also has the added benefits of send
and receive amplification. There are two emergency features – the first allows
you to call emergency contacts either using a remote band or with one touch
of a button on the base. The other feature is called remote audio monitoring,
this allows your contacts to call and speak to you without the need for you to
pick up the phone. Both feature are very useful in times of emergency.
Its is important that you read the instructions below in order to use your
AMPLI600 to its full potential. Keep this user guide in a safe place for future
reference.
*To use the caller display facility, you must subscribe to your network
provider’s caller display service
CAUTION: This telephone product is specifically designed for people with
hearing difficulties and is provided with a handset earpiece volume control
for individual requirements. Due care must be taken by all users that the
handset earpiece volume control is set to the lowest level acceptable by
each respective user. Care should therefore be exercised to ensure that
any new users are familiar with this requirement.
Unpacking the Ampli600
When unpacking the telephone, you should find the following in the box:
• 1 Telephone base unit
• 1 Telephone handset
• 1 Handset curly cord
• 1 8 inch short telephone line
• 1 6ft telephone line cord

into the battery compartment located on the base of the telephone.
Note : Do not use rechargeable batteries. Do not put batteries into the
household rubbish, pay attention to battery regulations regarding battery
disposal.
Replace the battery cover.
Desk Installation
Connect the 6ft line cord to the jack located at rear of telephone then con-
nect the plug to the telephone wall socket.
Connect the power supply to the jack located on the back of the telephone
then plug into the wall socket. Please choose a socket near your telephone
socket to enable you to unplug the mains power quickly in case of a prob-
lem.

INSTALLATION
Wall Mount Installation
Slide the handset hanger bar out and rotate it 180 degrees. Slide it back
into place. The hook will now point up. This ensures the handset will not fall
out of the cradle when it is mounted on the wall.
Plug the 8in short phone cord into the telephone jack on the AMPLI600, now
run the phone cord under the wall plate adapter and through the opening.
Insert the Wall Plate adapter. Hold it so that the raised mounting pins line
up with the phone’s keyholes on the AMPLI600. Once the holes are lined
up, push the wall plate adapter in towards the AMPLI600 and then slide the
plate upwards until it is securely placed on the phone.
Once the Wall Plate adapter is installed, plug the 8 inch short cord into the
jack on the wall.
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.
Connect the handset curly cord to the handset and the other end to the
telephone.
Lift the handset, if there is a dial tone, the telephone is ready for use. If there
is no dial tone, check that everything is plugged in as described above.
