Battery Save Switch

The Battery Save Switch is designed to conserve battery power by putting the amplifier into sleep mode when it is sitting idle for more than two minutes. The circuit design allows the amplifier to awaken under several selectable conditions. Position A Battery Save feature is on. Amplifier is activated by the receive (incoming) audio. Position B Battery Save feature is on. Amplifier is activated by the receive (incoming) or the transmit (microphone) audio. Position C Battery Save feature is off. Amplifier runs continually. If using this setting, it is recommended that the Headset/Handset Switch be put in the handset position when the headset is not in use in order to save the battery. Note: A beeping noise in the headset indicates that the batteries are low. Replace both batteries using only AA size Alkaline batteries.
2. Lift the top cover. Open the

battery door on the right side of the amplifier and swing the door open.
5. Set the Headset/Handset
Switch to the headset position.
10. Adjust the Receive Volume
Control by sliding the button until you can comfortably hear the other party. If your telephone has a volume control, set it to the mid to low end of the range for optimum headset performance. At the completion of the call, place the telephone handset back on its cradle.

talk position. Note: Setting the Mute Switch to the mute position will mute your voice to the phone and direct it to the computer.
