How Loud Is This Amplified Telephone?

How Easy to Use Is the AmpliDECT 295?
The Geemarc Amplidect 295 Telephone is designed for users who might find it difficult to remember to press a button whenever they pick the phone up from the cradle. This is why the Amplidect 295 comes with the option to set the handset to "auto answer", in which case you can answer a call by simply picking the phone up from the charging cradle or the base station.
If the handset is not on the charging cradle, however, you need to press either the green button or the speaker button to answer a call. Pressing the button twice activates the speakerphone.
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.
Is the Screen Backlit?
Yes, the screen of the AmpliDECT 295 is backlit. The white backlight makes it easier to see for individuals with visual impairments.
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.
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.
Does It Include an Answering Machine?
During those occasions when you're away from your home, the built-in answering machine enables callers to leave messages for you to listen to later. The recorded messages can provide reassurance that you will never miss any important messages again.
How Is This Amplified Telephone Powered?
The telephone base needs to be connected to mains. The cordless handset runs on one rechargeable battery, which need to be charged in order for them to work. The range of the cordless handset is 50 metres inside your house.
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.
Who Is This Amplified Telephone Suitable For?
The AmpliDECT 295 Amplified Cordless Telephone can be kept in its cradle when not in use to help ensure that it is not misplaced. This will be useful if you suffer from memory difficulties or would struggle to quickly locate the phone when it rings. Due to the cordless nature of the phone, you will also have the option to carry it with you around your home, receiving up to eight hours of continuous talk time.
The ability to move the handset between rooms will be ideal for when you are waiting for a phone call but don't want to remain seated by the cradle. It also allows you to walk about while taking calls. You can even take the phone into your bedroom at night for peace of mind that it will be within easy reach should you need to make or receive any urgent calls.
