The phone is an Easter gift for my 81 year old but mentally completely Fitte mother who wants with their single-LG phone but well copes like a larger display and large buttons. Display and keys are actually larger than other phones, which is a plus point. Write calling and texting works fine, as far as good, but they were already the bright spots! Speaking of bright spots, which are rather short with this phone, because the lighting switches itself off after a few seconds and it must - according to instructions - any key is pressed in order to restart; Unfortunately, "any key" not only the light turns on but it is also activated and needs to be revised with the red "end call" button enstprechende key function. Mir is the clear but you explain the time a 81-year-old ... Unfortunately, the lighting duration can not be changed and therefore goes with almost any other operation (by my mother) the lights, because it is not fast enough. Please always bear in mind that this phone is meant especially for the elderly! Now to the much-praised side buttons of Emporio and the statement in the item description "... dispense with a menu". This statement is sadly mistaken, because if you, like my mother, from and deactivate the ring tone would then operating steps are at least five required that must be called both side button or via an interlaced in to the operating menu (!); thereby missing the last step, namely the selection, after which time the profile "Silent / Sleep" should be automatically disabled, then the hitherto cumbersome conducted programming lapses and you start all over again! The profile "Silent / Sleep" caused by the way that the telephone only by means of built light flashes but does not vibrate. But my mother would like a vibration alarm without ringing and to try to stop this, are further operating steps in the submenu "Ring Tones and sounds" required; This requires the profile "meeting / Theater" can be selected and there are at least seven operating steps needed to get there! Who now to mark the profile name "Besprechnung / Theater" thinks that one can view this profile actually there use, let me tell you that the phone during an incoming call while vigorously vibrates and emits no ring tones, but initially two short but extremely emits loud sounds, which can be clearly heard even in eingepacktem in handbag mobile even in the last corner of the room; NOT these tones can be switched off! There are only these three variants: Phone rings with the set ringtone Phone does not ring and do not vibrate, light flashes Phone vibrates and mixes each meeting / each theater with two extremely loud sounds on Should the way, accidentally or on purpose, have selected the function "Bus or maximum volume" once and then want to call again with the usual settings, then have to be reprogrammed each function: Ring volume, beeps, keypad tones ... Shortly to the side keys: There are enable / disable right a dedicated button / a slide switch to the built-in alarm clock. Which old man needs this feature? My mother has to wake up alarm clock and to call the phone. Absolutely incomprehensible why this switch is not assigned with eg ringtone on / off !!!
Write + calling and texting is easy + Large buttons and large, easy to read, display + Good communication quality + Right good workmanship - (For the elderly) disastrous cumbersome menus and control logic for setting the profiles - Function "only vibrate WITHOUT tones" When a call is not possible! - Display illumination already switches off after a few seconds; the burn time is not adjustable - Side switch is partly nonsensical
I highly recommend this phone does not recommend, at least not when the signal functions for incoming calls temporarily to be changed and the user / The woman is not technically. The description "... no need for a menu" is misleading, because quite simply wrong! If I had spent with explanations and exercises with my mother now-hour (!), And she's scared, "learn" another phone again to have that thing would go back immediately.
