Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The phone works once programmed, and a family member or caregiver can handle initial setup using the included instructions in roughly 20-30 minutes. No professional assessment is needed, but it requires more than unboxing — photos must be printed to size and numbers manually programmed — making it guided setup rather than self-serve.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026

This is a corded landline telephone that lets you place calls by pressing a button next to a photo of the person you want to reach — no number dialing required. It's designed for people who have difficulty remembering phone numbers or navigating standard keypad interfaces, such as older adults with dementia or cognitive changes, or people with intellectual disabilities. The phone comes as a complete, plug-in-and-use unit: you insert photos into 10 slots, program the corresponding phone numbers once during setup, and the phone handles the rest. The handset also amplifies incoming sound up to 40dB, making it useful for people with hearing loss as well. Someone will need to do the initial programming of phone numbers, and photos need to be printed to a specific small size (about 1" x 1¼"), so it's not quite plug-and-play without that one-time setup step.

What Setup Looks Like

  • Out of the box
    Plug phone into telephone wall jack — no AC power or batteries needed for memory backup.
  • With a guide
    1. Print photos to approximately 1" x 1¼" and insert into the 10 photo slots.
    2. Program each photo slot with the corresponding phone number using the keypad and setup instructions.
    3. Set the ringer volume switch and dial-only mode switch to preferred settings — full setup takes roughly 20-30 minutes. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
