Section 255 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 requires telecommunications products and services to be accessible to people with disabilities to the extent that it is readily achievable.
Panasonic has taken steps to ensure that our telecommunications products are designed, developed, and fabricated to be accessible to and usable by people with disabilities. These steps include employing Universal Design Principles and including people with disabilities in product tests.
Some examples of accessibility features commonly found on our telecommunications products are listed below:
- Headset jacks
- High contrast button labels
- Buttons grouped by function
- Buttons differentiated by size, shape, and tactile reference marks
- High quality audio
- Volume controls for receiver and ringer
- Redial and Speed dial
- Handset locator (for cordless phones)
- TTY (text telephone) compatibility
- HAC (Hearing Aid Compatibility) *
Additional accessibility features are found on various product types or models.
* Currently there are no technical solutions available for providing HAC on cellular phone. |
