User questions & answers

Question:	Do the photo buttons light up when the assigned number calls the phone
Answer:	Hi - The photo speed dial buttons will not light up if the assigned number calls the VTech SN5147. Instead, the Caller ID is displayed on the screen of the base and handset if you are subscribed to Caller ID service from your provider. Also, the Visual Ringer Indicator on the base and handset flashes. Thank you for your interest!
Question:	Is answering machine included
Answer:	Yes it is, and messages are crystal clear. You can even press a button on your device that will slow down the callers messages which comes in very handy when jotting down notes or phone numbers that the caller may leave.
Question:	Can you program 911 into it
Answer:	Sean - Yes, the VTech SN5127 has four photo speed dial locations which you can use to program 911. Thank you for your interest!
Question:	What is the picture size for the SN
Answer:	Terrible. I returned the handset for just that reason. The base station allows pictures just barely big enough for someone with decent eyesight to recognize the person. The 5307 keys are rectangles, not squares, and probably about 3/4” high. Names in a large font would work better.

What's a Smart Call Blocker?

This system lets you block nuisance callers on the spot with one touch. What's more, it can filter robocalls and unwanted call while allowing welcome calls to get through. For screen out robocalls, set it to ask the callers to press the pound key. For screen out unknown callers, set it to ask the callers to record their names and press the pound key. After your caller completes the request, the phone rings and announces the caller's name. You then can choose to block or answer the call, or forward the call to the answering system.

Never forget whose number is whose

Program eight frequently dialed phone numbers and attach a photo to each one for convenient speed dialing.

Setting up your system just got easier

Talking prompts walk you through the setup of your new phone's digital answering system, so you can be confident it's ready to record. Digitally record up to 22 minutes of incoming messages, outgoing announcements, and memos. The system also allows for slow playback, selective save or delete, and skipping or repeating messages from the handset and base, and remote access to listen to messages.

Easy to use

The large orange lighted display is designed for easy reading even in darker places. The buttons are generous in size measured to 15 x 12 mm, and placed with a 3 mm gap in between, easy for the elderly fingers to target and press. You can choose whether the digits are to be announced whenever you press the number keys. Another level of insurance to help the elderly to dial out the correct number, further reduce the chance of miss-dialing.

Instantly boost the volume

The Audio Assist feature can temporarily increases overall volume by up to 50dB and enhances sound frequencies that make speech easier to understand. It is easy to use, just one press on the button on right side of the handset. Press again to turn off.

Ringer level from 5 to Ringer Off

The extra-loud ringer makes it easy to hear incoming calls throughout your home. You can set the ringer volume level of the cordless handset and telephone base to one of five levels, or turn the ringer off. Simply press Menu / Ringers / Handset or Base / Ringer Volume / Select.

Volume control made easy

The volume control key is set on the handset's upper right side, and on the right side of the base unit, so that one can easily use it during conversation either using the handsets or the base speaker. The volume control is a big shaft key sliding upward or downward, a design particularly helpful for the elderly who often find their sense of touch weakened over time.

Hear comfortably

Unlike the mobile phones that are usually having a smaller, flat and easily heat up earpiece, this phone's extra-large ear cup is designed for hearing comfort of longer conversations. The roomy ear cup is also ideal for hearing aid users.

Secured by line power mode

User questions & answers

Question:	Is answering machine included
Answer:	I live in hot sweaty Florida and my truck really takes a beating from the sun. I apply this spray wax after every washing all over the truck including the plastic and rubber trim, (not the tires). The product can also be applyed in direct sun which alot of other products can't. I also apply it to the interior area's dashboard, door trim any plastic, rubber inclu leather. There's a YouTube video made my a guy named Darrell he goes by " Detail Fetish" and he also uses this wax on all area's of his customers vehicles. I like this product a lot
Question:	Do the photo buttons light up when the assigned number calls the phone
Answer:	When asking this same question directly at Meguiar's, I was told that it does offer UV protection. They added that all of their wax products do, even though not explicitly stated in each product's description. However, the amount of protection, as an SPF equivalent, is proprietary and not apparently shared with the public. Whether one wax product offers more or less protection than another is also not readily available info.
Question:	Can you program 911 into it
Answer:	This can be used on black plastics and will not discolor or whiten but leave it cleaner if not a little darker. Most likely better to use something like 303 protectant to refresh and darken bumper plastics.
Question:	What is the picture size for the SN
Answer:	Meguiar's D15601 Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax is designed to use to protect the paint, but because it dries clear, it is safe and also does an excellent job protecting the black trim (plastic, rubber) on your car. Make sure you clean all black trim prior to applying the wax.
