User questions & answers

Question: Call directory? Contacts/Phone number memory
Answer: This phone has a single or number “range block” block. Either way telemarketers have ten or more numbers they use in random sequence, so if you can see the top and low you can block the last two consecutive numbers like 00-10, or 10-19 or maybe 00-99. This phone is saving my sanity and giving me a chance to sleep.
Question: does this have speaker phone
Answer: Yes, you can turn the ringer off on the handset by pressing and holding "0", then turn off the answering machine by pushing the "answer on/off" button on the cradle, then press and hold the volume down button on the cradle till you hear a beep/tone. The phone won't ring, the cradle won't ring, and the answering machine will not answer so you won't get anyone leaving messages.
Question: Can the ringer be turned off? I want to put this phone in a room where my baby takes her nap and do not want it to ring and wake her up

User questions & answers

Question: Will this handset work with 51203 base
Answer: It is not hands free.
Question: does it have a headset jack
Answer: I can't answer 100%, but I would say yes it would. That was what it was hooked up to when I 1st tried to put in the 1 touch phone numbers, but I tried it at my home on a land line and had the same problem. But it should not make any difference. I returned it for a refund and ordered a version of the same concept by Clarity. Reviews were not great on it also, but I guess I will find out. Seems like such a great concept, so why does someone just spend another few bucks more and manufacture a quality version? Good luck
Question: Does this phone have caller block
Answer: Once each number is programmed, then to make a call one DOES PUSH PHOTOCALL button and then the corresponding number / photo for the person she wishes to call. Therefore, two buttons need to be pushed to call one person that is already programmed.Note: on the phone we received the photo call button is NOT RED - it is white with red print.My mother in law can't see very well and the "0" button was blacked along with a black line under the photo call button. Also, no photos were placed in the numbers - just LARGE first letter of each person and then balance written small. A list of association of these people were typed and taped under the receiver to aid anyone that does help her - she lives in a nursing home.Hope this helps
Question: does this phone also have an answering machine
Answer: My wife changed the 911 key to call my cell. Now the center picture and the 911 both call the same number.The other pictures are turned off. Not sure if you can turn the 911 key off.

Question: If the caller hangs up rather than leaving a message, does the machine record the silence for a few seconds or not record any of it
Answer: Our is set to show a flashing # of calls missed, no sound...we don't want to announce that we're not home. I am quite sure it can be set to also give an audible signal when there are missed calls.
Question: Can I screen calls
Answer: Yes, but on mine the voice is ridiculously loud. It's much louder during screening than on the recorded message. (Don't put this machine in your bedroom.)

Talking Caller ID and More

When a call comes in the handset will announce the name of the caller.

Clearly Hear Who's Calling

Whether someone's calling from a busy city street or from inside a raucous room, Noise Reduction automatically suppresses background interference while enhancing voice tones for clearer, more comfortable conversation.

Keep Tabs On the Baby Day or Night

With the built-in baby monitor, you'll always know your child is safe in their crib or room. When the child wakes up or starts crying, a monitoring handset in the baby's room sends an immediate alert to the system's base unit, and to any phone or cellphone number you store in the handset for optimal peace of mind in or out of the house.

Keep Talking When the Power Goes Out

A powerful battery backup system keeps you connected when the power goes out. When you keep a charged handset in the base unit, you'll have up to 7 hours talk time of battery power backup for making and receiving calls using other cordless handsets in the house. (Two AA-size rechargeable Ni-MH batteries not included).

Find Lost Keys

With a small, optional detector device* on your household or car keychain, this Key Detector-ready phone system lets you quickly locate misplaced keys with the touch a button on any of the system's cordless handsets.

User questions & answers

Question: is it 220 volts
Answer: Use rechargeable batteries only. DO NOT try to recharge ordinary batteries because danger of fire.
Question: Is there a headphone jack on this phone
Answer: I ordered this phone for my grandparents. I know it took a while to charge...not sure how long exactly, but I'm sure after 7 hours it was almost fully charged. Hope that helps. They actually love the phone, the buttons are huge for their seeing problems, it rings very loud and the extra volume is awesome because they both have hearing problems.
Question: I see that it connects to cell phones via bluetooth but will it also connect to headphones via bluetooth
