June 13, 2011
If you are in search of a perfect Father’s Day gift for your elderly dad, Clarity (News – Alert), a division of Plantronics, might have an answer for your quest. Recognizing the fact that modern day gadgets are too sophisticated for the seniors in the age group of 70s and 80’s, Plantronics (News 
– Alert) is offering special discounts on its senior-friendly P400 and C410 amplified phones which can be the perfect gift for the dads who are facing common challenges associated with aging.
From June 10th to June 23rd, both the P400 and C410 will be available for $49.99. The P400 and C410 can be purchased at RadioShack storess across the United States or online at www.radioshack.com.
In a press release, Plantronics explained how the features of the discounted models can support the senior lifestyle. The models, according to the company, have a number of features that typically provide the seniors with an added sense of security and independence. The amplification technology helps the seniors with problems of hearing impairment. The phone has simple buttons to make dialing painless for arthritic fingers. The simple buttons also make it easy to see for those with reduced vision.
The P400 has a feature called, PicturePerfect Dialing, which proves helpful for the seniors with dementia. The feature allows the users to dial more easily by having photo memory dial buttons pre-programmed to the phone.
Clarity is the leading manufacturer of amplified telephones, specializing in the technology geared for seniors with helpful features and functionality for age-related disabilities.
“Every Father’s Day, we celebrate with quintessentially paternal gifts — fishing equipment, books, ties and so on. For dads in their 70s and 80s, these types of gifts are not as helpful as they once were. Seniors are looking for security, independence and peace of mind, which is exactly what the P400 and C410 phones provide,” president of Clarity Carsten Trads noted in a statement.
Earlier this year, Plantronics launched Voyager PRO UC Bluetooth headset. Voyager PRO UC, according to its maker, offers better mobile phone and PC communications through smart sensor technology. The Bluetooth headset uses advanced hardware and software that eliminate communication complexity by detecting presence, integrating with PC applications, and enhancing the headset experience.
