Although most
domestic telephones
do not use coins or cards, payphones are often used in retirement
homes.
People with
dexterity problems can have difficulty inserting cards or coins
into slots. To help with this problem, slots with funnel shapes
that guide either the card or coins into place will be very helpful.
For retrieving
cards it is also helpful to ensure that the card protrudes by
a sufficient distance to allow a person with reduced strength
to grip the card. The way unused coins are returned should also
be carefully considered. |
