Louder, Clearer Sound
To help make conversations clear to the hard of hearing, the AmpliDECT 295 Photo features a loud receiver with up to 30dB of amplification. It's ideal for ensuring that calls can be heard loudly and clearly.
In addition, the handset also features built-in hearing aid compatibility. This sends a telecoil signal directly to a hearing aid, making calls as clear as possible.
How Does the BOOSTER Function Work?
The BOOSTER function allows you to amplify and increase the handset's earpiece volume for better audio clarity. The BOOSTER function can be activated by pressing the button found on the right hand side of your phone, adjacent to the display screen. Follow the instructions below to learn how to switch it on and off;
- Press the BOOSTER button at any time during the call if you need to.
- Once pressed, "BOOST ON" should appear on your screen.
- Then, use the volume buttons on the base to adjust the volume to your preference.
- To switch off the BOOSTER function, simply press the BOOSTER button again.
Please note: The BOOSTER function is automatically switched off once the call has ended.
Built-In Answering Machine
As well as making phone calls easier, the AmpliDECT 295 also features a built-in answering machine. With up to 14 minutes of recording time, it's ideal for keeping track of missed calls and staying in touch with loved ones. Messages can be deleted individually or all at once and feature a timestamp for easier management.
Photo Buttons for Easier Dialling
For some elderly individuals, it can be difficult to remember phone numbers or even look them up in an address book. To help make dialling important numbers as easy as possible, the Geemarc AmpliDECT 295 Photo features ten one-touch memories with space for images on the base unit of the phone.
Important numbers can be programmed for each button, and images can be placed on them. This provides easier recognition, eliminating the need to memorise phone numbers.
Can I Set A Distinct Ring for Each Caller?
Yes, you can set a different ring for each caller in your phonebook, allowing the user to easily identify the caller from the ring alone. Each AmpliDECT 295 handset features five standard rings and five polyphonic rings, while the base itself features five standard rings. This provides plenty of room for customisation to ensure important numbers can have a distinct ring.
Does This Phone Feature Caller ID?
Yes, this phone can display Caller ID, providing it is supplied in your current package by your service provider. It will store the last 50 numbers, allowing you to scroll back through your last calls for reference.
Does the Phone Light Up When Receiving a Call?
When an incoming call is detected, the red LED light at the top of each handset will illuminate. This light brightly and steadily flashes, clearly signifying that a call is on the line.
Can I Connect This Phone to My Internet Modem?
Yes, if you subscribe to a digital phone line from your landline provider, this phone can be connected by plugging the telephone cord directly into your internet modem.
Customise Your Phone with Picture Button Template
The Picture Button Template is free to use for everyone. All you need to do is upload your pictures to the template, print them, and then simply place them in your PhotoPHONE picture buttons for easier use.
