If the operator believes that there may be an emergency, 911 will be contacted.

In the app, the information is at the top of the screen in the “More” section. It provides the battery strength and signal strength of the phone. Thus, for example, you can check to see whether the phone is running low on battery and remind the user to charge.

If the user has difficulty turning on their phone, which is accomplished by pressing and holding the physical power button, you can contact our Suppoort and request to disable the power button. This way the phone will always stay on.

The default is that the display of the RAZ Memory Cell Phone is always on. If the auto-lock screen is activated, the display will go dark after 2 minutes of inactivity and will “wake up” with movement. The benefit of the auto-lock screen is that it will save some battery power, it will prevent the user from being disturbed at night by the bright display, and it may prevent some accidental dials.

Activate the feature, “[r]eceive text message when user calls 911”. When activated, up to three people will receive a text message alert when the user calls 911.

When activated, the user will receive a reminder when the battery is low. You define what is considered “low”. For example, it can be when the battery is less than 20 percent. Reminders can take the form of (1) a yellow sticky note that will appear on the display, or (2) an audio recording saying, “please charge your phone” AND a sticky note.

In the app, go to “More” and check the battery symbol towards the top of the display. If the battery is being charged, you will see a lightning bolt within the symbol.

When you indicate that the user has “low vision or hand tremors” the contacts on the RAZ Memory Cell phone appear as large rectangular icons. There are a maximum of two icons on each screen, making them much larger than the standard photos. By default, the icons spell out the name of the contact in white, with a grey background. However, you can customize the icon in 3 ways: (1) you can specify the name that you want to appear within the icon, (2) you can customize the font color of the name, and (3) you can customize the background color of the icon. Note that the text within the contacts is capitalized and very large.

Any contact can video call the user from the RAZ Care app by tapping the “Video” tab at the bottom of the display, and then tapping the “RAZ Video Call” button. Video calls cannot be placed to the user from third-party applications, like WhatsApp or Facetime.

Any Contact can video call the user of the RAZ Memory Cell Phone through the RAZ Care app. Contacts must download the RAZ Care app either from the App Store, if they have an iPhone or iPad, or Google Play Store, if they have an android device. The RAZ Care app is free and use of the app to place video calls is free, other than what you pay your wireless provider to use data. Contacts who download the RAZ Care app in order to place video calls will not be able to use the app to manage the RAZ Memory Cell Phone, unless they are made a caregiver. In other words, they will not be able to access Settings and other features available through the app. Contacts will only be able to use the RAZ Care app to place video calls.

No. The user cannot place video calls. He or she can only receive video calls.

In the settings of the RAZ Care app you can set the background of the phone to either light or dark to maximize color contrast. There is also a special display format for people with low vision or hand tremors, which will significantly increase the size of the icons and allows the customization of the color scheme of those icons. There is also a feature called “[h]ear name of caller”, which, if activated, will announce the name of the caller out loud during an incoming call.

Adjusting the screen for people with low vision or tremors will make the contact icons much bigger and therefore much easier for people experiencing hand tremors to press. It is an excellent option for people with Parkinson’s disease.
