HELLO!
Let’s get started Easy, worry-free and dependable, your Clarity Ensemble is much more than just a telephone. It’s your communications center in a familiar shape that can help bring your family and friends closer to you with the photos and videos they share. And, a touchscreen that makes it easy to keep in touch. We’re right here! If something doesn’t make sense or you get in a jam, call us toll-free: 2 1-866-525-2748 Your Ensemble is nearly ready to go right out of the box.
The stand snaps into either of two pairs of slots on the back of the Ensemble.

THE INTERNET The Manager (a son, daughter, grandchild or friend) The MANAGER Even if you have limited experience with technology, the Ensemble makes it easy for you to enjoy the benefits of the Internet. The family member or close friend who purchased the Ensemble and had it delivered to your home will serve as the Manager. He or she has likely taken steps to ensure that you have Internet access in your home and, of course, a standard telephone jack and service.
The Touchscreen The Ensemble touchscreen works like a computer tablet screen. It is sensitive to your touch. You’ll notice a click sound when you touch a button. Most of what you do with the Ensemble requires that you touch a button. But as you fill up the digital phonebook or look at websites, for example, you’ll have to navigate around the display using your fingers. Just touch the screen, and then drag your finger upward or downward, left or right, and the content will move with your finger in the display.
Get Connected Once your Ensemble is plugged in, the touchscreen displays a Connectivity Wizard that will direct you through a few easy steps to connect your unit to telephone service and the Internet. The Wizard starts with plugging in the telephone cord. You can watch a little video if you like. Don’t be alarmed. The Connectivity Wizard will help you change all those red X’s to green checkmarks. 10 Next is connecting to the internet.
For Wi-Fi connections, press the Wi-Fi button, highlight your network by touching its name (you may see more than one — call The Manager to identify which to use) and then touch “next” to enter your password. Touch the password field to pull up the touchscreen keyboard. To access numbers and symbols, press the “123” key in the bottom row. Press the “ABC” key to return to letters. When finished, hide the keyboard by touching the keyboard button (at bottom left), then touch next.
Phone & Home Screens After you’ve connected your Ensemble, you’ll see that it’s displaying a familiar telephone keypad. This phone screen provides access to all the features you expect, plus extra amplification and tone controls that you’ll be able to adjust as you like. “Phone” screen The Manager will customize your “home” screen, but it will look similar to this. 12 There’s another screen, the home screen, that uses “ClarityLife” to bring ease and intuition to Internet-based communications.
GO! Your Ensemble is now connected to the Internet, and has already sent an e-mail to the Manager (your son, daughter, grandchild or friend), who can begin to customize your device with new buttons and photos. If you see something that interests you, or that you’re curious about, just touch the button. The Manager will invite your family and friends to contribute to your Ensemble.
Lots of ways to communicate . . . The Manager can make the Ensemble do as much (or as little) as you like. The Manager can customize your Ensemble just the way you want it remotely via the Internet. The whole point of the Ensemble is to make it easier to communicate, so if there’s some way to make the experience better, communicate that to the Manager. Your Ensemble’s home screen could be filled up with buttons, or it could have just a couple.
Here are just a few of the buttons and functions you can have added to your Ensemble. Your family and friends can easily share with you their Photos. Everybody’s smart phone has a camera, so if you don’t see any family photos, let the Manager know how disappointed you are! If you’d like to speak with somebody, but don’t want to disturb or interrupt, touch Call Me and a list of contact names appears (these will be set up by the Manager).
Explore! You’ll learn a great deal about your Ensemble by using it. It’s designed to be sensible, intuitive, and simple. But it is, in fact, a highly sophisticated and powerful computer in disguise. The good news is that you can’t break it by pushing buttons on the touchscreen. As with any computer, you may occasionally experience sluggish performance. If that happens you can “reboot” it by pressing the reset button on the top right hand side for four to six seconds, and then releasing it.
The Telephone Just lift the handset or touch “Speaker” MAKE OR TAKE A CALL To make a call, simply pick up the handset, and “dial” the number on the telephone keypad. The field at the top of the touchscreen shows the number as you enter it. Or you can leave the handset on the hook and access the telephone keypad by touching the “Phone” button from the “Home” screen. Enter the number you’d like to call and then lift the handset, and the Ensemble places the call.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR VOLUME AND TONE SETTINGS You can customize the volume of the speakerphone and of the handset during a telephone call. Touch the blue “Volume” button and then + or - to increase or decrease the sound. You’ll also note that a “Tone” button appears. Touch that button to select one of four settings that best suits your hearing. When you’ve got it set just the way you like it, touch the “Volume” button again. The Ensemble will sound the same next time you use it.
USE THE KEYPAD TO ENTER NUMBERS If you make a call that’s answered by a machine and you have to enter a number to connect to a particular department, press the “Keypad” button at lower right (It only appears when you’re on a call), and use that to enter the appropriate digits. If you know the extension of the party you are trying to reach, just touch the “keypad” button at bottom right.
PHONEBOOK You can add telephone numbers to your Ensemble’s digital phonebook, and then make calls simply by touching a name. To enter a name and number, go to the phone screen and touch “Phonebook” in the bottom row of buttons. Press “New Entry.” Now you can enter a first name, last name and phone number. When you’ve finished, hide the keyboard, then press “save.” Use the “Create Speed Dial” button to add names to your Favorites list (look for the star atop the Phonebook screen).
ANSWERING MACHINE Callers can leave voice messages on the Ensemble if you’re unavailable, or when you don’t care to answer the phone. The Ensemble will alert you to each new voice message, and you can listen right away. Or you can close the window and listen later by pressing the “Menu” button on the Phone screen, and then “Answering Machine.” You’ll see a list of who called and at what time. Touch the message you’d like to hear, then “Play.
Captioning through the Clear Captions service requires that you set up an account. It’s free. If you have an email address, you can take care of it yourself. If not, ask The Manager for help. Captioning If you sometimes have difficulty hearing a telephone conversation, even with the volume and tone controls adjusted just the way you like, you can turn on the Ensemble’s captioning feature.
There is no fee for using the Clear Captions service on your Ensemble. It’s paid for by the Telecommunications Relay Service fund via the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States. Captioning is only available within the United States. You can adjust how captions appear on the Ensemble’s screen. These buttons adjust the size of the caption text. This button toggles the display. Choose black text on white or white text on black.
