Important Safety Instructions
The following items are included as
part of the CS-03 Requirements. The
standard connecting arrangement code
for the equipment is CA11A. This
product meets the applicable Industry
Canada technical specifications.
NOTICE: The Canadian Department of
Communications label identifies certi-
fied equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets cer-
tain telecommunications network pro-
tective operational and safety require-
ments. The Department does not guar-
antee that the equipment will operate
to the user’s satisfaction. Before
installing this equipment, users should
ensure that it is permissible to be con-
nected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. The
equipment must also be installed using
an acceptable method of connection.
In some cases, the company’s inside
wiring associated with a single line
individual service may be extended by
means of a certified connector assem-
bly (telephone extension cord). The
customer should be aware that compli-
ance with the above conditions may
not prevent degradation of service in
some situations. Repairs to certified
equipment should be made by an
authorized Canadian maintenance
facility designated by the supplier. Any

nections themselves, but should contact
the appropriate electric inspection
authority, or electrician, as appropri-
ate. The Ringer Equivalent Number is
an indication of the maximum number
of termianls allowed to be connected to
a telephone interface. The termination
on an interface may consist of any
combination of devices subject only to

FEATURES
Clarity Power Technology
With the Clarity Power feature the high
frequency sounds are amplified more
than the low frequency sounds so that
words are not just louder, but clearer
and easier to understand.
Clarity Power ON/OFF Switch
With the Clarity Power feature ON, the
high frequency sounds are amplified
more than the low frequency sounds
(Clarity Effect). The Clarity Effect is
introduced automatically with volume
increase. Clarity Power OFF provides
no frequency shaping (no Clarity
Effect), but simply delivers the loudest
output possible.
Clarity Power BOOST Button
The Clarity 500 has a BOOST button
that controls the loudness of the receiv-
er. Once the BOOST button is pressed,
an extra level of amplification is added
over the entire range of the Volume
Control. The default state of this button
is determined by the Boost switch
(back of base of unit, see below).
During a call, the CLARITY POWER
button can toggle the Clarity Power
function on or off according to the
user’s needs. The BOOST button will
reset automatically every time the
phone is hung up for at least 5 sec-
onds (if Boost switch is in OFF position
–see BOOST ON/OFF switch descrip-
tion below). This is done to protect
users of the phone who may not need
the powerful amplification of the
Clarity 500.
The BOOST button will light RED to
indicate the boost function is active.
Warning: Volume may be at a high
level. To protect hearing, lower the
Clarity Power Control before using
the phone.
Clarity Power Control Dial
The CLARITY POWER Dial controls the
level of volume the handset and head-
set receive, both in Boost or non-Boost
modes. The volume dial provides up to
15 dB of volume before the CLARITY
POWER button is activated. Once the
CLARITY POWER button is pressed, the
Clarity 500 will provide up to 30dB
of gain.
BOOST ON/OFF Switch
The BOOST switch will determine the
default state of the BOOST button. If

the switch is in ON position, the
BOOST button will illuminate, and the
Boost function will be by default ON –
every time a call starts, the Boost func-
tion is active. The Boost function will
default to ON every time the phone
hangs up, regardless of the previous
state of the button. When the switch is
in OFF position, the Boost function is
by default OFF every time a call starts,
the button will not illuminate, and the
Boost function will reset to OFF every
time the phone hangs up. During a
call, the BOOST function can be
toggled ON or OFF using the BOOST
button, regardless of the state of the
BOOST switch.
Ringer Controls
The Clarity 500 features an extra loud
ringer that can be tailored to the users
needs.
Ringer Volume
Can be set to one of eight (8)
positions by pressing the RINGER
VOLUME UP or DOWN switch
located on the right side of the
telephone. The ringer settings can
be checked without making the
ringer sound by pressing and
holding the BOOST button for three
(3) seconds. The current ringer
settings will be displayed on the
LCD.
Ringer Style
Six (6) different styles of ring
cadence or speed are available.
Several of the styles are low
frequency making the sound easier
to hear. To select the ringer settings
press the RINGER STYLE button.
The style of ring will sound
automatically for approximately
two seconds.
Ringer On/Off
The switch turns the ringer ON or
OFF. If the ringer is turned “OFF”
and the Visual Ringer is enabled,
the dial pad will flash and the LCD
will flash “RINGER OFF”.

set to ON (in Setup Menu), the keypad
will flash when the phone rings (see
page 12).
Nitelite
The Nitelite softly illuminates the key-
pad when the phone is in stand by
mode (not in use), so that the user can
easily find the telephone in the dark.
The Nitelite can be turned off with a
switch on the right side of the tele-
phone that provides HIGH/ LO/ OFF
operation.

Neckloop Jack
A 3.5 mm jack is available for con-
necting a neckloop. The volume to the
neckloop is controlled by the tele-
phone. When the neckloop is plugged
in, the handset is disabled.
Hearing Aid Compatibility
The handset has a special coil inside of
it to couple the sound to hearing aids
equipped with T-Switches/T-Coils.
Failsafe Power Operation

can still make and receive calls, but the
LCD display, CID/PhoneBook opera-
tions, Nightlite, and Extra Loud Ringer
will not function. The phone will ring,

the Caller ID Memory as a ten

sary to dial one (1) plus area
