Is This Amplified Telephone Suitable for People 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.

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.

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 Do the Photo Buttons Work?

AmpliDECT 295 systems, both the base and handset versions, are equipped with photo speed dial buttons that allow you to contact your loved ones at the touch of a button. 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.

Please note that for base and handset combination sets, the memory buttons on the handset will retrieve the same set of direct memory speed dial entries stored in the base.

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 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.

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 Many Additional Handsets Can I Connect to the Base?

The Geemarc AmpliDECT 295 Photo Amplified Cordless Telephone allows you to connect up to four additional handsets. The base is compatible with the following handsets:

Moreover, a Twin Pack is also available. This pack includes the Geemarc AmpliDECT 295 Photo Amplified Cordless Telephone and one Extra Handset for a more cost-efficient solution.

How Do I Pair This Phone with Additional Handsets?

A user guide is included with this phone, explaining how to properly pair the base with up to four additional handsets (Standard or with Photo Buttons). To make things even easier, we've put together a video pairing guide for each type of handset to show the slightly different methods:

Helpful Video Guides

Take a look at the videos below for some helpful tips on setup and troubleshooting for your Geemarc AmpliDECT 295 Phone:

How Is the AmpliDECT 295 Photo Cordless Telephone Powered?

The base needs to be connected to a mains via the power adaptor included with this purchase. The handset comes with a rechargeable battery pack. The battery will last for two days on standby, and allows for 10 hours of continuous talk time.

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 the Phone Include an Answering Machine?

As well as making phone calls easier, the AmpliDECT 295 also features a built-in answering machine. The answering machine can store up to 59 messages within the maximum recording time of approximately 15 minutes. Messages can be deleted individually or all at once and feature a timestamp for easier management.

Photo memory buttons are much smaller than the pictures would suggest. I have to braille these with Dymo tape for my blind mother and there was only room for two characters instead of the three that could fit on the buttons of her old phone. Dimensions would be useful. Otherwise, service and delivery were excellent.

This is excellent for people who are elderly and have the onset of dimentia but I've given it 4* because the photos have to be pressed and held in to work.

Good idea, not so well executed
27 October 2023  | 

Great idea, bought for my mother-in-law who has dementia and can no longer use her phone. Unfortunately, complicated to set up, difficult to get calls onto the handset when using the pictures (the whole point of the phone!) and the added valume (she's also quite deaf) has to be switched on for each call....but she has dementia and can't remember how to!

Overall, a good idea that falls short for it's target market.
