5. CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL
SIGNALER
To use an optional signal light, plug the
signaler (sold separately) into an unused
extension telephone
wall jack. If you have
only one jack that is
being used by the
CrystalTone Plus
, you
can use a “Y-Jack”
(also called a “duplex
jack”). Plug both the
CrystalTone Plus
and
the signaler into the Y-jack and plug the Y-
jack into the wall jack. You can purchase a Y-
jack at any store that sells telephones.
6. CONNECTING A HEADSET RECEIVER
The
CrystalTone Plus
provides an audio jack
for direct audio connections with some
assistive listening technology. A headset with a
3.5 mm jack may also be used. The jack,
which is labeled with the headset symbol
(
), is located on the lower right corner of
the
CrystalTone Plus
.

INSTALLATION
CALLING & ANSWERING
SOUND ADJUSTMENTS
The
CrystalTone Plus
works just like any
telephone.
PLACING A CALL
1. Lift the Handset.
2. Watch the Signal light and/or listen for the
dial tone. The Signal light will stay lit
when there is a dial tone.
3. Dial the number of the person you are
calling. When the person answers the
phone, begin your conversation.
4. During a conversation, you can watch the
Signal light for an indication of what is
happening on the line. For example, if the
Signal light blinks and flashes erratically,
someone is probably speaking on the other
end of the line. If you do not hear the other
person, you may want to adjust the volume
and quality of the sound coming through
the handset (see “
Sound Adjustments
”
below).
ANSWERING A CALL
1. When you receive a call, the
CrystalTone
Plus
rings and the Ring Flasher flashes
slowly along with the rings.
NOTE: If the ring volume is not loud
enough to alert you to a call, you can
increase the ring volume.
2. Pick up the handset to answer the call and
begin your conversation.
CONVERSATION VOLUME
To increase the overall volume of the person’s
voice coming through the handset:
1. Press the
button. The red light
comes on.
2. Slide the
control, located on the
front of the
CrystalTone Plus
, to the right
until the volume is a comfortable level.
