The Equalizer | Instructions | 2nd Edition | October 2006
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the new Krown Equalizer 40 (K-EQ40) amplified tele-
phone. This phone has been designed for those individuals with mild to moderate
hearing loss. The K-EQ40 is designed to control the volume of the phone as well as
the frequencies that best fit your hearing. The K-EQ40 has three pitch control buttons
allowing you to customize the phone to your desire. The equalizer is set at 600 Hz,
1.2 KHz and 2.4 KHz.
The K-EQ40 is designed with unique feature to protect the hearing in your family. It
has one-touch button that automatically resets the equalizer to normal level once the
phone is hung up. It helps to protect your family from being exposed to dangerous
sound levels.
Please read this manual very carefully before using your K-EQ40 and keep it for
future reference. Staple the sales receipt to this booklet for easy access in the event
you need to contact Krown Manufacturing for any warranty issues or questions about
your purchase.
If you have any questions about our Krown Equalizer 40 that were not covered in this
manual, please contact the Krown technical staff at 1-800-366-9950.

READ THIS FIRST
We have designed the Equalizer 40 to conform to the federal regulations and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device you connect to the phone
line draws power from the phone line. This power draw is the deviceʼs Ringer Equiva-
lence Number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of your phone.
If you are using more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the REN
numbers. If the total is more than five (or three in rural areas) your phones may not
ring. If your phone is not ringing, remove one of the devices from the line.
If your phone causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can disconnect
your service. The phone company tries to notify you in advance. If advance notice is
not practical, the phone company will notify you as soon as possible and will advise
you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
The phone company can also make changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or
procedures that could affect your phoneʼs operation. The phone company notifies you
in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your phones
service.
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon request, provide
the FCC registration number and the REN to your telephone company. These numbers
are on the bottom of your phone.

8. Using the equalizer
The phoneʼs 3-band equalizer boosts the
sound of three frequency ranges (600 Hz,
1.2 kHz, 2.4 kHz) to compensate for the earʼs
limited sensitivity in these ranges. To adjust
the settings, open the cover next to the
EQUALIZER button (it reads Krown
Manufacturing). Slide each switch toward
“+” to increase or amplify sound, or toward
“-” to decrease the sound within that specific range.
