Adjusting Handset Volume (For Volume Amplify):
  1. Choosing the Handset Volume (For Volume Amplify):

    Before you begin to use the Brother 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.

    Vol Amplify:Off This default setting is appropriate if NONE of the users are hearing-impaired. During a conversation, users can press or on the control panel to adjust the two volume levels (The LCD will display image). When the handset is replaced, the handset volume will remain until you change it again.
    Vol Amplify:On
    -Temporary    		 This setting is appropriate if SOME of the users are hearing-impaired. During a conversation, users can press or on the control panel to adjust the three volume levels (The LCD will display image). When the handset is replaced, the handset volume returns to the default setting of Low.
    Vol Amplify:On
    -Permanent    		 Permanent if ALL of the users are hearing-impaired. During a conversation, users can press or on the control panel to adjust the three volume levels (The LCD will display image). When the handset is replaced, the handset volume returns to Permanent.

    When you press or 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.

    It is 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.
