Every unit (bought 3 units)works very well. Cordless DECT 6.0 Stainless-Steel-Finish Handset for use with GE 27909 Series TelephonesHad a little problem understanding install specs. But once under stood it was real easy to connect.
It is extremely frustrating to say the least. Compounding the problem is the fact that the base is a light flimsy piece of plastic that, if not secured to a wall, will likely be just pushed around on the table surface when attempting to mount the handset. While I have no complaints with the primary handset/base-station, this secondary handset/base-station is very flawed. The catch between the base and handset is designed in such a way that the angle at which you mount the handset to the base has to be perfect or the handset will not catch onto the base and will fall down.
Battery goes in before you plug it in the AC adaptor. The procedures were always the same, the only thing I figured out that made the difference was that you have to hold the phone very close to the base station and do not get your hand in between them. Works well after you get it set up. Only purchased because it compliments the main phone. Pulling battery and reinstall is needed to reset. Don't bother with help from GE, they contracted it out to the Philippines and the guy was only reading the same instructions I had. This has to be the hardest electronics setup I every went through. I went through programming this phone 10 times before I finally got it right.
Too hard to get the handset to land in the stand correctly. Too tippy. Stand sucks.
Two issues:1). Involves unplugging the base, removing the batteries, etc. Phone works fine, and looks good.
but it works.2). If you're patient, it all works eventually.Bill JenkoKemah, TX Initiating the phone to communicate with the base is difficult.
Follow the directions at the GE website to reset the base.
Remote dial-up access to messages is spotty. A little tricky to register the phones, but using the suggestions in other reviews, you can eventually do it. Answering machine has clearer voice (better speaker) than some.
