Product Description
The Panasonic DECT 6.0 Expandable Digital Cordless Phone System operates in the 1.9GHz frequency range, which means this phone will not conflict with other wireless devices such as computer routers, wireless keyboards, microwave ovens, and other common household devices. With DECT 6.0 (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology, you can move freely around your home with long range and amazingly clear sound. It also assures greater protection against eavesdropping for all your calls. This phone system allows you to program each handset to ring–or not–at your discretion. Before going to sleep, simply set the bedside handset to “night mode” so that it won’t ring in your bedroom. In the meantime, the handset in the den will still ring when that important call comes in without disturbing the person who’s sleeping. This phone system also features text-to-speech technology, which announces the Caller ID information between rings. The system also boasts a talking alarm clock that will tell you when it’s time for lunch, a 50-entry digital phone book, a digital answering machine, multilingual support (English and Spanish) and a talking battery alert that politely tells you when your battery is low with a “please charge phone” reminder. Each handset comes with a battery that supports five hours of talk time and 11 days of standby time, and the system can be expanded to up to six handsets.
Panasonic Dect 6.0 Expandable Digital Cordless Phone - Dual Handset System (KX-TG6312S) Reviews
I have owned this digital cordless phone set for about two months and it works very well. Voice quality and range are very good. The base unit is set up at one end of the first floor of my home, but I can take a handset anywhere in the house (even the basement or second floor) and get good reception. I do not recall ever hearing any static or other interference. The speakerphone in each handset works surprisingly well, considering the relatively small size and light weight of the handsets.
The information packaged with the phone states that it is expandable up to six handsets and that there is an alarm clock on each handset (features which we have not yet used.) Any entry made into the phone book in one handset is automatically duplicated in the phonebook of the other handset. Also, the ringer on one handset can be turned off - - just set it to “Night Mode,” one of the Menu selections. While the unit lacks an answering machine (which we do not need since our phone company provides voicemail), a light flashes on each handset, when there is a voicemail message that has not been retrieved. These are all convenient features.
My only complaint is that the only Quick Start guide packaged with the phone set was entirely in Spanish, making it totally useless to me. (The more complete Operating Instructions were in English.) In fairness, I should state that I bought this phone set from a local “big box” retailer, not Amazon.
