When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
1.Read and understand all instructions.
2.Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the telephone.
3.Do not use this telephone near a bathtub, wash basin, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool or anywhere else there is water.
4.Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during a storm.There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.
5.Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
6.Unplug this telephone from the wall outlets before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on the telephone. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
7.Place this telephone on a stable surface. Serious damage and/or injury may result if the telephone falls.
8.Do not cover the slots and openings on this telephone.This telephone should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.This telephone should not be placed in a
9.Operate this telephone using the electrical voltage as stated on the base unit or the owner’s manual. If you are not sure of the voltage in your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
10.Do not place anything on the power cord. Install the telephone where no one will step or trip on the cord.
11.Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can increase the risk of fire or electrical shock.
12.Never push any objects through the slots in the telephone.They can touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the telephone.
13.To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not take this phone apart. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.
14.Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to the manufacturer under the following conditions: when the power supply cord or plug is frayed or damaged; if liquid has been spilled into the product; if the telephone has been exposed to rain or water; if the telephone has been dropped or the case has been damaged; if the telephone exhibits a distinct change in performance; if the telephone does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment may require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the telephone to normal operation.
15.Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
16.Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
17.Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
18.Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
1.Do not dispose of the battery in a fire as it may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.
2.Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes and skin.Additionally, it may be toxic if swallowed.
3.Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conduction material may overheat and cause burns.
Install the backup batteries (optional) by removing the battery cover as shown in Figure 1. Connect your telephone as shown in Figure 2.
1Connect one end of the phone cord into the (square) LINE port on the back of the phone; connect the other end of the phone cord into your wall telephone outlet.
2Connect one end of the (curly) handset cord into the handset jack on the left side of your base; connect the other end of the handset cord into the bottom of the handset. Place handset in cradle.
3Connect the DC adapter cord into the (round) DC 9V 500mA port on the back of your phone; plug the adapter into your wall’s electrical outlet.
When finished, lift handset to test. If you hear a dial tone, your telephone is ready for use. If not, check all connections again.

If there is a power outage, the XL40D will maintain its full amplification for up to 48 hours with four AA alkaline backup batteries (not included).
The phone operates as a regular phone if there is no power or backup batteries. In this case, the indicator lights, the loud ringer, the lighted keypad and the amplification will be disabled; you will still be able to make and receive phone calls, but the extra amplification will not be enganged.We recommend installing batteries if you live in an area with frequent power outages.
WALL MOUNTING your xl40d
1.Pull the handset hook out of the base and reverse its position so that the hook points up and will hold the handset when you hang up. See Figure 3.
2.Plug one end of the short flat telephone line cord into the jack marked LINE located on the back of the telephone.Then run the cord through the groove on the back of the phone. Insert the tabs of the mounting bracket into the slots in the back of the phone. Push the mounting bracket in and down firmly until it snaps into place. Consult Figure 4.
3.Plug the flat telephone line cord into the wall plate jack, then align the mounting bracket’s keyhole slots with the wall plate studs and slide the base of the phone downward to secure it on the wall. See Figure 5.

3.Adjusting the TONE switch allows you to customize your hearing experience. Since we all have different hearing preferences, we suggest exploring each setting to find the one most comfortable for you.These four settings, along with our volume amplification, are part of the Digital Clarity Power (DCP™) technology. See Figure 8. The available settings are:
1- Low frequency emphasis: best used to hear low pitched sounds;
2 - Flat frequency response: best for hearing aid users;
3 - Clarity Power/High frequency emphasis response: best used to hear high frequency sounds;
4 - Multi Band Compression with high frequency emphasis response: best setting for speech intelligibility.

Boost Override
On the bottom of the XL40D, there is a Boost Override switch. When this is set to ON the Boost function is automatically enabled every time the phone is picked up. In standard use, when the Boost Override switch is set to OFF, the Boost function will turn off after the phone is hung up. Setting this switch to ON is suggested if all the users of the phone need the amplification. Setting this switch to OFF is useful when people with varying hearing ability use the phone. See Figure 9.

OUTGOING SPEECH AMPLIFICATION (osa)
This function amplifies your speech so it becomes louder to the person on the other end of the call.To enable this function, press and hold the BOOST/OSA button for three seconds (see Figure 12). The phone beeps; the function can be enabled/disabled while on a phone call or in standby mode.
To verify the function is active, lift the handset and check the light at the top of the phone. If the light is ORANGE, the function is active.To adjust the level of amplification for your voice, use the switch on the side of the phone labeled “Outgoing Speech Amplification” (OSA).You can choose between three levels: Low, Med and High (see Figure 13).
To return to the default setting for your voice volume level, press and hold the BOOST/OSA button again for three seconds.You will hear a beep confirming that the function is disabled.To verify, the light at the top of the phone should not be orange when you are on a call.
