The phone is ideal for the hard of hearing, as the volume of the earpiece reaches up to 50dB, making it suitable for severe hearing impairment.

The ringing volumes of the handset and base are also adjustable, and go all the way up to 80dB, which is roughly equivalent to the sound of a freight train at 15 metres. All volumes can be adjusted to meet your individual requirements, and the needs of those around you.

How Do I Set-Up the Photo Memory Keys?
Up to three one-touch photo memory keys can be installed on the base of the Geemarc CL595 Corded Photophone, making it easy for users to dial their friends and relatives.
