About your new CLS45i

The CLS45i is the flagship of the Ameriphone® product line. It has been custom-engineered with an unprecedented array of features to provide years of convenience and assistance. It is powered by the latest technology yet thoughtfully designed for ease-of-use, especially for people who have trouble hearing on the telephone.

The CLS45i is a Dual-Speaker Amplified Cordless Telephone with 2.4GHz technology for greatly increased power and extended operating range.

It is, literally, two-phones-in-one ... two speaker- phones.There are speakers in both the handset and the base. This means that when the handset is either in or out of the base you can use the base as a standard speakerphone.There are dialing keypads and stored number memories in both the handset and the base. And, you can also use the handset independently as another speakerphone in another location in your home.You can also use it as an intercom between rooms.

The CLS45i has a powerful 40dB amplifier with separate volume and tone controls so that you can tailor the incoming sounds to the loudness and fre- quency that best suits your hearing. Plus, its bright, red ring flashers and super-loud ringers in both the base and handset make sure you know when your phone is ringing.

Your new phone is designed to achieve the maxi- mum possible range by transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications set forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at a maximum distance with the qualification that the range depends upon the environment in which the telephone is used. While using the telephone you may experience interference from other electronic devices. If you use the handset near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard from the receiver or the speaker. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to the base unit. During a call, as you begin to move your handset

too far from your base unit, noise increases. If you pass the range limits of the base unit, your call will be terminated.

The CLS45i has both Caller ID and Call Waiting Caller ID capabilities.You will need to subscribe to the telephone company’s Caller ID service to use these features.The LCD screen on the handset lets you view Caller ID information easily. It also guides you through the few simple steps to set up the other Special Features of the CLS45i.

On the base you’ll find seven (7) one-touch speed dial memory buttons, including three red buttons specifically designated for emergency numbers.

You can store other numbers in these memory locations if you wish, but emergency numbers will always be easiest to access if you store them in the red memory locations (ER5, ER6 and ER7).

Note: The CLS45i employs sophisticated circuitry to minimize acoustic feedback (squealing) while it is placed against your ear. However, you may experi- ence some feedback while returning the handset to the base. To alleviate this either turn the phone off or turn the amplifier off before returning the hand- set to the base.

The handset can store frequently called numbers in ten (10) two-touch buttons.

The CLS45i has many other features and functions and they are explained in the following pages.

We hope you enjoy using your new CLS45i and that you are pleased with the added capability and independence it makes possible for you.
