							4 - 4   INITIAL SETUP
Choosing the Handset Volume (For Volume Amplify)
Before you begin to use the machine, you must decide if you need to set the handset 
volume to AMPLIFY:ON for a user who is hearing-impaired. The AMPLIFY 
volume level complies with FCC standards.
VOLUME AMPLIFY: OFF
This default setting is appropriate if none of the users are hearing-impaired. During a 
conversation, users can press Volume   on the control panel to adjust the volume 
to LOW or HIGH. When the handset is replaced, the handset volume will remain 
until you change it again.
VOLUME AMPLIFY: ON–TEMPORARY
This setting is appropriate if some of the users are hearing-impaired. During a 
conversation, users can press Volume   on the control panel to adjust the volume 
to LOW, HIGH or AMPLIFY. When the handset is replaced, the handset volume 
returns to the default setting of LOW.
VOLUME AMPLIFY:ON–PERMANENT 
Choose VOL AMPLIFY:ON–PERMANENT if all of the users are hearing-
impaired. During a conversation, users can press Volume   on the control panel to 
adjust the volume to LOW, HIGH or AMPLIFY. When the handset is replaced, the 
handset volume returns to the default setting of AMPLIFY.
m
WARNING
It is important that you do not choose PERMANENT unless all users are 
hearing-impaired. Otherwise, the default setting of AMPLIFY may damage the 
hearing of some users.
When you press Volume   on the control panel to adjust the volume, the LCD shows 
the setting you are choosing. Each key press changes the volume to the next setting.
