Choosing the Handset Volume for Volume Amplify:

Before you begin to use the Digital Cordless Handset (DECT™ Handset), you must decide if you need to set the cordless handset volume to Volume Amplify:On for a user who is hearing-impaired. The AMPLIFY volume level complies with FCC standards.

Vol Amplify:Off	This default setting is used if NONE of the users are hearing-impaired. During a conversation, users can press or on the cordless handset to adjust the volume to Low or High. When the cordless handset is replaced, the volume setting will remain until you change it again.
Vol Amplify:On -Temporary	This setting is used if SOME of the users are hearing-impaired. During a conversation, users can press or on the cordless handset to adjust the volume to Low, High, or Volume Amplify. When the cordless handset is replaced, the volume will return to the default setting of Low.
Vol Amplify:On -Permanent	This setting is used if ALL of the users are hearing-impaired. During a conversation, users can press or on the cordless handset to adjust the volume to Low, High, or Volume Amplify. When the cordless handset is replaced, the volume will return to the default setting of Volume Amplify.

When you press or on the cordless handset to adjust the volume, the LCD shows the setting you are choosing. Each key press changes the volume to the next setting.

Is it important that you do NOT choose Permanent unless ALL users are hearing-impaired. Otherwise, the default setting of Volume Amplify may damage the hearing of some users.
