Geemarc CL8700-4G Amplified Clamshell Mobile Phone with Large Keys, SOS Function and One-touch Memory Buttons - Bluetooth and Hearing Aid Compatible - For Hearing Impaired - Unlocked - UK Version

SUPPORTS 4G – This means that the CL8700 will not be affected by the planned closure of the 2G networks in the UK. Indeed, mobile phones that only support 2G will soon become unusable as 2G antennas are progressively being removed across the country. It will however take many years for the 4G technology on which our amplified phone works to become obsolete.

HEARING AID COMPATBLE – This easy-to-use flip phone is designed for people with hearing loss. If you are wearing hearing aids and wish to use them while on the phone, simply put your hearing aids on the “T” setting.

EXTRA LOUDER RINGER - You will never miss a call thanks to this phone's 80dB loud ringtone. To give you an idea, this is more or less as loud as a vacuum cleaner or a power lawn mower. That being said, if you still happen to miss a call, maybe because you didn’t notice your phone was on vibrate, you will be alerted by a missed call notification on the phone’s outside screen.

VOLUME BOOST CONTROL - The receiving volume can be amplified up to 40 dB during calls using the + and - keys on the side of this phone which was especially designed for the elderly.

SOS FUNCTION - There is a red emergency button on the back of this phone for deaf people which when pressed, activates its SOS function. Once the SOS function is activated, the phone automatically calls the five numbers you have pre-set, one by one, until someone answers. If the option has been selected, an SMS with your GPS coordinates is also sent to all the registered numbers along with a message, which can be personalised, advising that immediate assistance is needed.

ICE FUNCTION – Pressing and holding the #2 key activates this senior mobile phone’s ICE (In Case of Emergency) function. Once activated, this function opens a special menu from which all the medical information about yourself that could be useful to someone who has found you unresponsive are accessible. Among the medical information that can be pre-registered are your name and address, your current medications, your ailments, and the contact details of your general practitioner.

TALKING KEYPAD - The phone's white backlight makes reading the alphanumerical characters on the display super easy, while its high-contrast, large and widely space buttons prevent you from ever misdialling. All those features along with the talking keypad, makes the CL8700 an ideal phone for visually impaired people as well.

BATTERY – You can recharge your clamshell mobile phone by replacing it on its charging cradle or by connecting it to any electrical device that has a USB Type C plug such as a computer. It takes between 3 and 4 hours for the battery to get fully charged.
