The phone includes separate line buttons for intuitive call handling, enabling users to place calls on hold on one line while answering or dialing out on the other.

Comprehensive Caller ID and 50-Call Memory

The ML17929 features a large, backlit LCD display that shows incoming caller information with exceptional clarity, even in low-light conditions. The sophisticated Caller ID system stores up to 50 calls in its detailed memory log, providing comprehensive records of missed, received, and dialed calls for easy reference and callbacks.

The large display also shows time, date, and call duration for complete call management.

Big Button Design and Extra-Loud Speakerphone

Designed with accessibility and ease of use in mind, the ML17929 features an extra-large, backlit keypad with oversized, tactile buttons that are exceptionally easy to see and press. The big button design reduces dialing errors and makes the phone accessible for users with visual impairments or limited dexterity. The extra-loud speakerphone delivers clear, amplified sound for hands-free conversations, perfect for conference calls or multitasking during discussions. The handset includes extra-loud volume control, allowing users to boost listening levels significantly above standard telephone audio. The phone is hearing aid compatible, ensuring inclusive communication for all users.

A convenient data port on the back allows for easy daisy-chaining of additional devices like fax machines or modems.
