11. Warranty & Warnings are on the last page.
12. Send in your Warranty Registration Card within 90 days
3. Volume Level
Set the volume by turning the Volume Knob (D). Do not force the knob. Turn UP towards the Sound-Head Cap
for a higher volume. Turn DOWN towards the battery cap to reduce.
All the way DOWN is OFF, which is handy when you do not want to accidentally activate the device.
4. Adjusting Tone
•
The Tone Adjustment Knob (K) is located to the left of the Power Button.
•
Turn UP towards the Sound-Head Cap for a higher tone.
•
Turn DOWN towards the Battery Cap for a lower tone.
•
A TIP: Hold the power button down while you make your initial adjustment.
5. Sound-Head
•
Optional Extra Sharp Sound-Head Cap
– (With the gray Sound-Button) If you have hard neck tissue, the
Sharp Sound-Head Cap has a sharper sound, which may penetrate tissue better. This may also be helpful if
you work in a loud environment. This cap is not as smooth sounding, so the voice may not be as pleasant.
5b. Sound-Head Spacer
•
If you regularly use a higher tone, you may remove the Sound-Head Spacer (B); Unscrew the Sound-Head
Cap, remove the Spacer, and screw the Cap back on.
•
Test the device, listening to the tonal qualities. If you prefer the tonal qualities without the spacer, be sure to
store the Spacer in a safe place, such as the box your device came with.

6. Setting the MODE
:
The MODE Button is inside, under battery cap; the arrow on the battery points towards the button. (NO TOOLS!)
NOTE: For users with a Legacy
TruTone
TruTone
TruTone
TruTone
® electrolarynx, the MODE button replaces the red Range
adjustment.
This device has
six modes
. To change the mode, press both the Mode button and the Power button. (The timing is
not critical.) The MODE changes immediately, but if you continue to hold the Power button, the device will beep to
indicate the new MODE setting. The number of beeps and the tone of the beeps indicate which mode it is in.
MODES 1-4:
Are like the original
TruTone
TruTone
TruTone
TruTone
® electrolarynx, with four preset Ranges. #1 is monotone,
and Modes 2 through 4 have increasing range on the button. Beep count indicates mode.
Mode 1 – Monotone
1 Beep
Mode 2 – Low tonal variations
2 Beeps
Mode 3 – Medium tonal variations
3 Beeps
Mode 4 – High tonal variations—2-octave range. 4 Beeps
MODES #5-6: Volume Mode,
lets you control the volume with the Power button, instead of the tone.
This is for people who do not use the tone control, and allows volume control without moving the knob.
A very light touch let's you speak with your "whisper voice," while pressing firmly emits sound at full
volume. The volume control knob still limits your max volume. Changing into these modes creates a
"Whoop" sound (with an increasing tone), rather than a steady tone beep.
Mode 5 – Low Sensitivity—full volume requires more pressure. 2 "Whoops"
Mode 6 – High Sensitivity—full volume requires less pressure.
3 "Whoops"
