Your Clarity C210 is packed with features that will help you improve your communications over the telephone.
Clarity Power Control
The Clarity Power Control allows you to control the clarity of your phone conversations. It will let you hear clearly phone calls that are normally difficult to understand. The amplification will be increased by up to 30 decibels and the frequency band from 2000 to 3000Hz will be specially enhanced to improve the clarity of your call.
Boost Control
The C210 has a boost button that controls the loudness of the receiver. Once the boost button is pressed, the Clarity Power Control is activated. The visual ringer will illuminate when the Boost Button is activated.
To Increase/Decrease Clarity Power: Adjust the volume control wheel up or down.
WARNING: When Boost button is lit volume may be at a high level. To protect hearing, lower volume control to minimum.
Visual Ringer
A lighted ringer sends out a visual flashing alert every time a phone call is coming in. (This ringer will light up regardless of the setting on the ringer control.)
Avoid placing the unit where it will be exposed to excessive heat or humidity.

Tone/Pulse Selection
The Clarity C210 can be used as either a TONE (touch dial) or PULSE (rotary dial) phone. Tone dialing is required for using special phone services such as long distance calling. Please check with your local phone company on certain types of service.
Note for Users with Pulse/Rotary service only: Many automated answering systems used by banks, stores and government agencies ask you to “Push 1 for service”, “Push 2 for the operator”, etc.
You must switch the tone/pulse switch on the phone to tone before responding to these prompts. In summary, dial the phone number you want to call in pulse mode, switch to tone mode to interact with the automated answering system, switch back to pulse mode when your call is done. When switching from Pulse to Tone during a call, there will be a 3 second delay from the time you first push a key in tone mode until the key press
is transmitted.
Important: You must have tone signaling service to use the TONE feature on the Clarity telephone. If in doubt, contact your local telephone company.
To Set the TONE/PULSE Switch:
1.Move the switch towards the correct setting.
2.Depress the hookswitch once.
3.The phone will now dial in the mode you selected.
Last Number Redial
Last Number Redial allows you to automatically redial the last telephone number you called. This feature is convenient for redialing numbers which are busy. The phone number stored for redial will be reset with every new call you make.
To Operate Last Number Redial:
1.Depress the hookswitch to get a new dial tone.
2.Press the “Redial” Button once.
3.Stay on the line, and your call will be dialed.
The last number dialed will be stored in the Clarity telephone for you until you dial another number.
Flash
Flash is a special feature that is required to use some calling services provided by your local phone company, such as call waiting. Consult your guide to these services which is available from your local phone company. Flash serves the same purpose as pressing and releasing the hook switch very quickly.
To Use the Flash Feature:
Simply press the Flash button at the appropriate time as outlined in the guide provided by your local phone company.
Mute
The mute button allows the user to conduct a private conversation that you do not want the person on the other end of the phone to hear. While the mute button is depressed, the microphone in the handset will be deacti- vated, preventing conversation from being transmitted.
Surge Protection
The unit is equipped with a resettable fuse. The fuse will automatically reset within 30 minutes after activation once the surge condition has subsided.
Hearing Aid Compatibility
The Clarity C210 is Hearing Aid Compatible with hearing aids that utilize a T- switch or
Once you have installed your Clarity C210 according to the instructions noted previously, it will be ready to use.
