Geemarc Amplidect/DV/Hub 2

ljm — Thu, 04 Nov 2021 19:43:40 GMT

Hello,

I have a Geemarc Amplidect cordless phone which helps somewhat with hearing impairment. The name Amplidect, I presume means it is a DECT cordless phone so if I was to continue using my phone would I still need a DV Adapter to pair it to the Hub 2??. . and if its not a DECT phone would I still need a DV Adapter to pair it?

You don't need anything, simply plug the base unit in the hub phone socket rather than the copper phone socket.

Thx Liquorice. Do you mean, whether it's DECT or not, just plug it in to the phone socket on back of Hub 2?....and also at moment I have the Geemarc base station plugged into an extension cable which is plugged into a microfilter before going into my wall master socket. So, would I be able to plug my extension cable into Hub 2 rather than my Geemarc base station? Also would I still need to use a microfilter?

The Geemarc base station needs to plug into the hub either directly or via an extension cable. Just consider the hub as the new phone socket and no, a microfilter isn't required.

Thx for clarifying, but what is the DV Adapter for then? 🤔

It's if you want to connect your existing phone base/corded phone to the smart hub but don't want it right next to the smart hub 2.

Say your smart hub 2 is in the hallway but you want a corded phone or the main base station of your cordless phones in the living room. Then you would use the Adapter to connect it to the Smart Hub 2 wirelessly (as the adapter connect to the Smart Hub 2 through it's DECT capability)

It effectively provides a remote phone socket for a corded analogue phone.
