Amplidect 250 Cordless Phones
"Can I just plug it in?"
Yes. Put the batteries in and before using it for the first time, charge in its charging pod for at least 12 hours.
"Why are there two volume controls?"
It gives you greater precision to tune the phone to your hearing level.
1) Up and down arrows under the display screen show you 4 easy stages of volume that is shown as a bar chart;
2) On the left-hand-side of the handset a volume control slides up and down.
3) Set your bar chart (1) to the level you want, then adjust the side volume (2) to suit you.
"I’m not clear what tone control is."
Tone helps you pick out speech and music lyrics and instruments. It is usually clarity that you need. Tone control means you can adjust it to your hearing.
"I’m getting a crackling sound, not all the time"
