Future Call FC-1007 Amplified Picture Care Phone

What is the Future Call FC-1007 Picture Care Phone?

The Future Call Picture Care Phone (FC-1007) is a one-touch phone with ten large, 1 inch x 1-1/2 inch photo encasing dial keys. The casings that cap these dial keys can be pulled off to allow users to place photos of loved ones and important contacts underneath. Users can then program these buttons so they only have to press a single button to call the pictured contacts. This makes the Future Call Picture Phone a helpful assistive listening device for users with memory loss, such as those suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's. They will no longer need to remember whole strings of numbers to call family, friends, doctors, or other essential contacts, but can simply find the contact's face, pick up the receiver, and press a button.

The Future Call Picture Phone's large buttons also help those with vision loss and unsteady hands. The phone's buttons have a large format design so users whose vision has declined or who have unsteady hands can still easily see and press them. The Future Call Picture Care Phone is also designed so users with hearing loss can easily hear it when it rings. This is achieved through an amplified ringtone and a bright, flashing incoming call indication light. Incoming call volume can be set to "High," "Low," or "Off." The "Off" option can be utilized when users don't want to be disturbed. In addition to these benefits, users also have full control over the volume of incoming caller's voices due to a volume control dial that allows sound to be heightened to the high maximum volume of 40 decibels. The Future Call amplified picture phone is hearing aid compatible.

The Future Call FC-1007 amplified picture phone is a phone of convenience. It contains all the tools users need to get the calling results they expect quickly and easily. In addition to large, one-touch photo keys and an amplified ringtone, this item features a bright red 911 emergency key so that help is only the press of a button away. If necessary, this key can be deactivated by recording another number over it or by simply programming it with the number '1.' In addition, a "Redial" key allows the user to redial the last number they called and a "Flash" key allows users to utilize call waiting and make three-way calls. Finally, this phone features an "On/Off" storage switch that when switched to "On" prevents users from accidentally changing the phone's programming.
