Geemarc AmpliDECT 295 Photo Amplified Cordless Telephone and Two Additional Photo Handsets

If you often find yourself missing a phone call because you can't rush to it in time, using a cordless system with more than just one handset might make life easier for you. The Geemarc AmpliDECT 295 Photo Amplified Cordless Telephone and Two Additional Photo Handsets includes a cordless telephone, plus two extra cordless handsets, which allows you to have excellent amplified telephone connection in up to three rooms of the house.

Key Information

  • Receiver Volume: Up to 30dB
  • Handset Ringing Volume: Up to 75dB
  • Base Ringing Volume: Up to 80dB
  • Hearing aid compatible
  • Answering machine
  • Power cord
  • Caller ID (if offered by your service provider)

What's Included with the Triple Pack?

To make sure you can easily answer the phone anywhere in the home, the Photo Pack includes:

How Loud Is This Amplified Telephone?

Both the cordless telephone and the additional handsets feature adjustable receiving volume that goes up to 30dB. The ringtone on the handset goes up to 75dB, while the ringtone on the base goes up to 80dB.

Why Might I Need Additional Handsets?

Having multiple handsets located in different rooms of the house has two main benefits, the first being that you are always closer in proximity to a phone at any given moment, meaning you'll be more likely to hear the phone ring. This also means that you won't have to go as far to pick up the phone, so there's less chance of missing the call before you reach the receiver.

Are Other Multi-Packs Available?

If you're in need of more or fewer handsets, there are other bundle options available that include up to four additional handsets. Please see below for more details.

How Easy to Set Up Is This Pack?

The process of setting up the cordless phone and then connecting the additional handset is very straightforward:

  • First, you will need to set up the corded base by plugging the adaptor into a power socket and the telephone line cord into a telephone jack or a DSL filter.
  • To install the cordless handset, insert the supplied batteries and charge the handset by placing it face forward in the base.
  • You can install and charge the Photo Handset in the same manner. To connect it with the base, first place the base in "Registration Mode".
  • Then replace the handset on the charging cradle, as which point a red LED will flash to indicate the registration is in process. Once the registration process is complete, you will hear a confirmation tone. It may take up to 60 seconds to complete the registration.

You can learn more about how to set up this cordless system by viewing the user manuals linked below:

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 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.

How Many Additional Handsets Can I Connect?

The Geemarc AmpliDECT 295 Photo Amplified Cordless Telephone allows you to connect up to four additional handsets. The base is compatible with the Photo Handset (two of which are included with this purchase), as well as the Extra Handset.

Extra Handset
The base can be connected with up to four additional handsets

Is This Suitable for Users with Dementia?

The AmpliDECT 295 Amplified Telephone is designed to be easy to use, even for those who might find using a traditional cordless phone overwhelming. The "Auto Answer" function allows the user to answer a call by simply picking up the handset from its cradle, without having to press any buttons. This is ideal for users who are used to answering the phone this way.

Moreover, the base comes with 10 photo buttons, which allows you to call those closest to you by pressing a single button; each handset comes with four photo buttons. You can use this easy-to-use template to upload your own pictures, and then print them out in the right size for the photo phone buttons.

Photo Buttons on Base
The base is equipped with photo buttons for easier dialling

The cordless handset features four photo buttons as well. You can use this template to print your images to fit on the cordless handset.

Does This Phone Feature Caller ID?

Yes, this phone can display Caller ID, providing that it is supplied in your current package by your service provider. It will store the last 50 numbers, allowing you to scroll back through previous calls for reference.

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 by sound 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.

How Do I Apply the Photos?

The photo buttons can be flipped up, at which point you can easily insert the photos that you have cut to size. The diagram below shows the process of placing your photos into the photo buttons.

The cordless phone allows for 10 hours of continuous talk time, while the extra handset allows for eight hours of talk time.

Does This Set Include an Answering Machine?

Yes, the telephone base includes an answering machine that records unanswered calls when it is on. The answering machine can store up to 59 messages within the maximum recording time of approximately 15 minutes. As well as recording incoming messages, you can record memos for other users of your phone.

Still trying to set up
23 February 2024  | 

We're having difficulty registering one of the HS, it won't connect to the base phone, we bought this set for my mum, not sure what to do if the other phone won't work, will give it another try to connect it. Once you follow the downloaded instructions, which is a lot of reading, things slot into place relatively easy,
Delivery was very quick and package was left at the property in the safe place no problem.

Time consuming to set up, would be difficult for seniors to set up without support. The phone itself once set up is easy to use and am happy with product with the exception of the answering machine. The phone is designed for people with hearing/sight difficulties, however to replay calls you have to press 4 buttons on the handset itself. I bought this for my elderly dad who is severely sight impaired and he is unable to see the options. He therefore has to wait for me to replay them which defeats the object. It would make more sense just to be able to press one button on the base unit itself. Having said that he finds it much easier now to make phone calls with all the regular numbers he uses, by just pressing one large button.

Good once it's set up
26 June 2023  | 

The instructions provided aren't easy to follow, it took 2 of us about 3 hours. As far as we could work out, each set had to be programmed and set up separately, and it wasn't simple to do. We haven't worked out how to use the answerphone yet. That being said, the concept is great, it's for my mum who's been struggling to use her phone for a while. She can now pick up without having to press any buttons, and the 2 additional sets mean she has quick access to main numbers upstairs and downstairs. Overall I would recommend this, and maybe we were just a bit dim when it came to setting it up ( but allow plenty of time!)
