The Photo Handset includes:

  • 1 x Cordless handset
  • 1 x Power adaptor
  • 1 x Charger
  • 1 x Ni-Mh battery pack

How Loud Is This Amplified Telephone?

Both the cordless telephone and the additional handset 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.

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.

Are Other Multi-Packs Available?

If you're in need of even more extra 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:

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 (one of which is 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 be able to answer a call by simply picking up the handset from the charging cradle, without having to remember 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, and the handset comes with four photo buttons. You can use this easy-to-use template to upload you 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 can be equipped with four photo buttons as well. You can use this template to print your images to fit on the cordless handset.

You can add your own pictures to the handset as well

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 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.

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.

How Is the 295 Amplified Telephone Powered?

The base and the charging cradle for the cordless handset need to be connected to a mains via power adaptors included with this purchase. The handset and the extra handset each comes with a rechargeable battery pack. Both the cordless phone and the extra handset will last for two days on standby. 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.

Great set of cordless phones
10 December 2023  | 

These phones are amazing and so easy to set up . The picture buttons are ideal for my elderly mum who can’t dial out lots of numbers. It’s just a matter of pressing a picture and the call is made. Great product I would highly recommend them. It’s easy to set up , I followed the instuctions on the website and it was a step by step guide.

This is a great phone for my mother who has been diagnosed with dementia. Like other people the only problem I encountered was trying to set up the big button numbers, had to look for help on the internet, it was really easy but I had tried for hours using the phones instructions and they are ridiculous.. can’t blame the phones it is whoever wrote the instructions!

Ok - sort of
29 September 2022  | 

Bought the combination phone and separate handset for suddenly widowed very elderly father with visual impairment and no knowledge of technology. The picture buttons on the main base unit are ok but there are issues with the phone which we only discovered after setting up. If a picture button is pressed to make a call and the other end is not answered, unless my dad presses the speaker button to end the connection the connection is not closed and we can’t ring him as we get the engaged tone - resulting in several late evening trips to his house to check on him. The smaller handset which can take four pictures buttons to have as an emergency back up phone for upstairs is impossible to Pair and is therefore useless.

Hi Sue,

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your phone.

Simple phone for elderly parents.
29 January 2022  | 

Needed a phone that would be easy to use and address their failing hearing.

The ringer has a go volume and is backed up with a large light indicator which is useful as the TV can be loud. The handsets are also loud enough for them to use without their hearing aids.

The one button calling is ideal for my father who has never been good with tech.

My one criticism would be that the manual could be clearer.
I had trouble pairing the handsets, to the point I thought there was a fault. It wasn't clear that when the pairing option had been initiated on the main base station that it would produce a series of tones rather than a single one. It wasn't clear that when pairing, again, that the pairing button on the station had to be held in until the tones start.

How Do I Pair My Geemarc AmpliDECT 295 Photo with a Photo Button Handset?

To pair your Geemarc AmpliDECT 295 Amplified Cordless Telephone with an extra Photo Button handset, simply follow the instructions below. There are two possible pairing methods. We recommend trying the first method, and only using the second if the first method fails.

Please note: Ensure the handset you wish to pair is fully charged, and then remove it from the charging cradle before beginning the pairing process.

Method 1

  1. On the main AmpliDECT 295 base, press and hold the Handset Locator Button (located in the main base cradle as shown below) for approximately 6 - 8 seconds until it emits a beeping sound. The base will now be in registration mode.

  2. Place the additional handset in its cradle (the small handset cradle). The red LED light should flash to indicate registration is in process
  3. Wait up to 60 seconds until you hear a confirmation tone.
  4. The registration process is now complete. The red LED light should switch from flashing to constant to indicate registration is finished.

Method 2

  1. On the main AmpliDECT 295 base, press and hold the Handset Locator Button for approximately 6 - 8 seconds until it emits a beeping sound. The base will now be in registration mode.
  2. Remove the photo handset from its cradle (small charging base)
