Product description

Swissvoice Xtra 4G 1650 with SOS wristband: Make calls easily and call for help in an emergency

The Swissvoice Xtra 4G 1650 with SOS wristband combines an easy-to-use 4G desk phone with a portable emergency call trigger. The set has been designed for people who wish to continue using a familiar telephone with a handset and large buttons, but do not want to be dependent on a traditional landline connection.

Using a SIM card and the mobile network, calls can be made without a landline or an internet router. The included SOS wristband complements the telephone’s emergency call function and enables the user to trigger an emergency call sequence even when they are not immediately next to the device.

This makes the combination particularly suitable for older people, care homes, sheltered accommodation and relatives who are looking for a simple communication solution with an additional emergency call option.

SOS wristband included: help even when out of range of the phone

The SOS wristband included in the set performs the same basic emergency call function as the SOS button on the telephone. Pressing the button on the wristband can trigger the pre-programmed emergency call sequence without the user having to go to the landline telephone first.

The wristband can be worn on the wrist or as a pendant. This ensures the emergency call trigger remains within easy reach in everyday life, for example whilst in another part of the home or within a care room.

The manufacturer’s presentation states that the wristband has a battery life of up to one year, depending on usage. The wristband has IP65 certification and is therefore protected against dust and water jets.

The wireless range between the wristband and the phone is not specified in the presentation. The SOS function requires the wristband to be connected to the phone and the necessary operating conditions to be met.

Programmable SOS function with call and SMS

The SOS button on the phone and the emergency trigger on the wristband enable quick notification of pre-registered contacts. Once the function is triggered, the configured primary contact is contacted via a call and an SMS.

If there is no response, the phone can initiate a call sequence involving up to four further emergency contacts. In this way, several trusted contacts can be included in the notification.

The SOS function is configurable and is designed for users who need quick access to relatives or carers in their everyday lives. It is not a substitute for an explicitly designated professional emergency call centre.

4G desk phone without a landline connection or internet router

The Swissvoice Xtra 4G 1650 combines the familiar operation of a landline telephone with the independence of a mobile connection. To set it up, you will need a power supply and a suitable SIM card.

The device supports 2G, 3G and 4G mobile networks. An existing analogue telephone line, a DSL connection or an internet router are not required for voice communication.

This simplifies installation in existing buildings and enables use in locations where there is no landline or where installing a new line would involve significant additional effort.

The SIM card is not included. Network availability and running costs depend on the chosen mobile network provider and tariff.

Large buttons and a colour display for easy operation

The desk phone features large number keys, a colour display and a clear menu structure. This makes it easier to enter phone numbers and recognise call functions.

For frequently dialled contacts, you can choose to use either three photo speed-dial buttons in conjunction with the SOS function or four speed-dial memory slots. The photo buttons make it particularly easy to get in touch with people you know well.

The phonebook can hold up to 500 contacts. A voice announcement of the dialled number, a visual call indicator and the option to block unwanted calls round off the operating functions.

For selected saved contacts, the phone also supports automatic answering of incoming calls in hands-free mode.

Audio Boost up to +40 dB for clearer conversations

For users with hearing impairments, the Swissvoice Xtra 4G 1650 offers an Audio Boost function with up to +40 dB. This enables a significant amplification of the call signal.

The ringtone volume can be set to up to 90 dB. In addition, various sound profiles and an equaliser function are available to tailor the sound reproduction to personal listening preferences.

The telephone is compatible with hearing aids. The built-in hands-free speaker allows you to make calls without having to hold the handset continuously.

Backup battery for additional operational continuity

The Xtra 4G 1650 is normally powered via the mains. A built-in backup battery offers additional independence in the event of a power cut.

The manufacturer’s specifications state a battery life of up to 14 days. The exact operating mode to which this figure refers is not specified in detail.

This additional power reserve is particularly relevant for retirement homes and care settings, where accessibility plays a key role.

Hands-free calling, Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi hotspot

In addition to the traditional handset, there are several options available for comfortable calls. The device supports hands-free calling via the built-in speaker as well as the use of a wired headset or a compatible Bluetooth headset.

The built-in Bluetooth 5.0 connection expands the range of suitable headsets and allows for more flexible use of the telephone.

In addition, the device features a Wi-Fi hotspot. With a SIM card and a suitable voice and data plan, the mobile internet connection can be shared with other devices.

Suitable for older people, care homes and sheltered accommodation

The combination of a 4G desk phone and a portable SOS wristband is ideal for people who prefer a traditional telephone interface whilst also requiring an additional means of contacting others in urgent situations.

In retirement homes, care homes and sheltered accommodation, the device facilitates communication between residents, relatives and carers. Installation without the need for separate landline cabling can reduce the effort involved in equipping individual rooms.

The set is also a viable option for older people’s private homes where large buttons, amplified sound and an easily accessible emergency call button are required.
