Handset Amplifier
The CLS45i has a powerful amplifier that can provide up to 40dB of incoming amplification depending upon your settings.
When AMPLIFY is Off on the handset, the handset VOL control allows for amplification up to 18dB.
When the handset AMPLIFY button is On, the handset volume control allows for amplification to adjust from up to 40dB. A backlight under the button turns on when the Amplify button is activated.
To adjust the volume:
1.Press the AMPLIFY button. It lights up.
2.Slide the VOL control (on the top left side of the handset) to select the level of ampli- fication that best suits your hearing needs.
CAUTION: Repeated incremental exposure to amplification levels greater than 18dB may be harmful to individuals who do not have hear- ing disabilities. Do not remove the warning label. If it is likely that a visually impaired person will use the telephone, securely attach the pro- vided warning printed in Braille to the back of the handset.
