CHATTANOOGA, TN--(Marketwire - Dec 14, 2011) - Clarity, a division of Plantronics (
Starting Dec. 11 through Dec. 24, RadioShack will offer three of Clarity's amplified cordless phones at reduced prices: the Clarity D613, now $79.99 (reduced from $89.95); the Clarity C410, now $49.99 (reduced from $69.99); and the Clarity D703, now $59.99 (reduced from $69.99). Each model addresses specific concerns experienced by many aging Americans, including mild to moderate hearing loss, low vision, and limited mobility caused by arthritis, stroke or other conditions.
"With the holidays fast approaching, many Americans are making travel plans to spend time with their friends and family. Some, perhaps facing mobility concerns, will share holiday greetings over the phone, and RadioShack wants to help make those conversations simpler and clearer," said John Lostroscio, merchant vice president for consumer electronics at RadioShack Corp.
Nationwide, RadioShack offers phones and other electronics products that are targeted to fit, among others, the unique homes and lifestyles of seniors. For this growing segment of the American population, phones that feature voice amplification, large screens, and easy navigation improve the quality of both everyday and momentous conversations. Focusing on product design and technological innovation, Clarity provides communication solutions for the many thousands of these individuals who otherwise could not connect easily and effectively with the outside world.
"Holiday phone calls rank among the most important connections we make during any given year. Unfortunately for seniors, the meaning of these conversations can get lost if the voices are difficult to hear or the phone is tough to use," said Carsten Trads, president of Clarity. "So, it's one of Clarity's hopes for the holidays that, by offering a broad range of phones with 'senior-smart' enhancements, friends and relatives can exchange their greetings and long-distance hugs more fully and more easily. We're proud to partner with RadioShack to make this possible."
