Adjusting the Base Visual Ringer
The Visual Ringer switch is at the back of the base; use this switch to change the brightness of the base visual ringer. (It doesn't affect the audio ringers.)
Slide the switch so that its center (marked with the arrow in the picture) lines up with the brightness you want to use: High, Low, or Off.
Using the Audio Boost
You can increase the earpiece volume for normal calls and intercom calls. During a call, press Boost to increase the volume of the audio. While audio boost is on, 
appears in the display. Press Boost again to turn off.

Things to know about TTS:
You have to turn on TTS separately for each handset. Open the menu and select Handset Setup. Then, select TTS On/off, and select On or Off for each handset.
To make sure it doesn't interrupt a call or an intercom page, the phone only uses TTS when it starts out in standby. For example, if you open the phonebook during a call, the phone won't announce the names in your phonebook.
It takes at least 2 rings for the phone to receive Caller ID information and announce it. If the phone is answered before the end of the second ring, the phone won't have time to announce the name of the caller.
To change the volume used for CID announcements, change the ringer volume. For other TTS features, change the handset speaker volume.
The TTS feature only uses English to announce the name and numbers, regardless of what language is use for the display.
