Doro Magna 2005 Extra Loud Cordless Phone

Product Information

Higher magnification magnifiers tend to show you less of what you are looking at, perhaps only a word or a few letters at a time. A keyboard with Braille keys instead of the standard QWERTY keys can be used, although some users may prefer to continue using a standard keyboard.

AbilityNet's factsheet also lists possible sources of second hand and refurbished computer equipment.

The base unit is also an answering machine on the Doro Magna 2005 its footprint including the base is 12x18x5. Magnifying equipment included in this section is designed to be attached externally over a TV or computer screen. It was very frustrating having to hand the phone to my wife when I could not hear what was being said. There is also software which can be added to certain mobile phones to give them a reading aid function. If portable computing is required, Braille notetakers are machines with word processing features similar to an electric word processor or laptop, but with a Braille keyboard and / or Braille display.

Finally another reader commented that Doro units do not change the time for Summer/Winter and having looked yesterday I can confirm they do not, and a simple switch off/on does not solve the problem, however time and settings are easy to change. Eventually the problem was solved and while it seems obvious now it’s not clear from the manual as the < and > keys are on the base station and not the handset. The Braille dots are used to represent words and numbers, punctuation characters and even mathematics, science and music notation. The additional Handset ( DECT units) are for the Doro Magna 2000/2005 and their dimension in their charge stations are 9x17.They are sometimes made of plastic and have a relatively low level of magnification, which is determined by the thickness of the lens.

There is a small range of sensory communication equipment on the national catalogue that can be provided via prescriptions.These products have a neck cord or attachment which enables the magnifier to rest on the chest leaving the hands free.

With an extra handset, you can enjoy your Doro Magna cordless phone in more rooms or on separate floors without having to carry one around. Software is required to convert text to Braille before it is printed/embossed (known as Braille translation software).If you are in paid employment and need equipment to assist you with communication at work, you may be entitled to help with the cost and provision of the equipment. It offers a range of newspaper and magazine titles in a variety of accessible formats, including audio CD or USB, DAISY CD, Braille, large print and online. A Braille display can be linked to a computer to enable a user to read by touch what is on the screen. The sub stations have two purposes first they provide power for the DECT unit and second a far better place – and easier to find – than under the cushion on the sofa as if they are in the charging station they can only be a few feet from a power point. DAISY is an acronym standing for Digital Accessible Information System and can play/show audio, text and pictures.
