A terrible situation. It was for that reason that I returned the handset. Despite its tiny picture size, the base station lets you see people at a distance large enough for someone with average eyesight to recognize them. A 5307 key is a rectangle, not a square, and is probably 3/4" It would be better to have names in a large font.
There is no misinterpretation, and the messages are clear and concise. It is even possible to press a button on your device to slow down the callers' messages, which is very useful if you want to jot down notes or phone numbers that they will
Thanks for getting in touch. If a VTech SN5147 is called with the assigned number, the photo speed dial buttons will not light up. In lieu of this, the Caller ID appears on the primary display of the base and handset when you subscribe to your provider's Caller ID service. Additionally, the Visual Ringer Indicator on the base and the handset flashes continuously. Thanks for taking the time to read my message!
I have a small problem with Sara The hearing volume can be adjusted by sliding the *VOL on the main base or the *VOL on the cordless handset while a call is in progress. The answer is yes, if you are referring to the volume of the ringer when there is an incoming call.

It is possible to adjust the ringer volume! Thanks to this phone system, I am very satisfied. There are large buttons on the keyboard and a display that makes it easy to read. The photo speed dial feature and the call blocking feature are great features for me. The software is very easy to use. By going through the prompts on the cordless handset, it is possible to adjust the ringer's volume to a lower level out of the box. There is an answering machine built into the device Calls sound crystal clear on the phone, and at the same time, you can boost the sound while on a call or slow down your voice messages on the answering machine to save time when taking down notes about the call or taking down numbers that are left on the machine. As well as setting reminders for yourself, you can program them. In addition to the corded/cordless system, I also purchased an extra photo handset extension, which also work flawlessly as a part of It is possible that I will get the pendant someday. Vonage provides VoIP service and all of its features, including call blocking, work great with it. Not only is this phone system ideal for the senior and disabled communities, but it's also a good choice for anyone who wants a large display and excellent sound quality in a phone system. There were also no free incentives provided to me in exchange for The whole experience was well worth the full price and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
The product was purchased for my hearing impaired mother, who is 92 years old. Her fear of technology makes it hard for her to adapt to changing environments. In the following example she had a Uniden which was struck by lightning and she wanted a replacement for the same model of phone. Some ten years have passed since she bought that phone, so the model is no longer being The short version is that she doesn't like it, but you can't just judge her by the numbers, because she is difficult Even though I set up the phone for her without any problems, I could see a number of ways in which she would not have been able to do it It is a good phone, but the only criticism I would have is that the phone's base cannot display incoming phone numbers or names. The new handset is the only one with the feature.
I'm going to leave because there is inadequate ringer volume adjustment and the noise drives you out! For many of the features described in the previous section, you will have to work hard to get them often repeating the process several Once you give up, it's just too much!.
As soon as it has been registered with the base station, this handset works as intended. The instructions that came with it are incorrect, and I wasted a great deal of time trying to register it. Vtech support was able to provide me with the proper instructions only after I called. If you say you have to press and hold the Page button on the base and then insert the handset into the base in order to register it, that won't To use this feature, hold down the Page button on the base, then tap the # key on your You have to learn how to do it, but it isn't hard.
Where do you print them? For my father, who suffers from macular degeneration, I bought this phone. spends a lot of time at home alone to the point that I felt it was necessary to have a phone he could actually use, since he cannot see the numbers well enough on a regular phone in order to call It was important to me to get this set up so he could simply press a button to connect with whoever he wants. The tiny size of the photos that this phone requires requires me to print them in some other manner. There is no room for such a large photo as in a wallet or passport. Do you know where to find a format to print such small photos? A lot of frustration is mounting as I try to set up this account! It may not be something I buy If the manufacturer has a link to a format for the phone on their website, or a way to tell you how to print effectively the required photos, you should be able to find it.
The fact that there are four numbers on the handset that are regularly accessed (rather than going through the menu system) is fantastic. There is a lot of noise when this phone rings. Due to the fact that the handset and phone both ring at the same time, the phone rings more than startling. While we have a ringer volume control, it doesn't seem any less loud than before we turned down the volume. However the phone has good sound quality and a good speakerphone as well as being a nice, solid handset with excellent sound quality I can probably hear better than most people because I am more hard of hearing than them. There are big keys for numbers A plus is also included. There is an option to turn the number announcing off as well.
In addition to being hard of hearing and legally blind, my father is also 92 years old. There are eight people that can be contacted with the touch of a button on this phone. Moreover, he has no trouble hearing on the phone, which is great. This phone system has received very high ratings from me.
Due to cataract surgeries, my elderly mother cannot see quite as well as she can hear. I bought her this phone in order to make her life easier. It was to purchase a phone that would be easier to use for emergency calls and prevent unwanted calls. Although the ringer on this phone is very loud, you can turn it down to make it more bearable. I turned our volume almost all the way down and had to use the kitchen phone ringer, but it was still It is too hard to click on the picture buttons. So my mom can't figure out how to see the pictures since I cannot see them well. Instead, I am thinking of placing a chart to be used on the wall and a color block instead. This caller id blocker seems to be working properly. Overall, it seems to work fine, but there are some glitches from time to time. Having an issue with your handset is a big problem. In addition to too many buttons being close together, there are also on/off buttons right next to the auto dialling My opinion is that the design can be improved. I believe this phone could be made simpler for elders by making some changes. She is using it, but I do think that a few changes could be made. As a final note, I would like the announcements to also be able to change languages, like the LCD screen. If you can't see an LCD screen and the voice announcements are the same, it doesn't matter whether the screen can be changed. As you can see, I have rated this 4" because it is primarily a hearing impaired phone, not for those with vision challenges. For hearing aids, this works quite well. However, it won't work as well for the elderly.
