The set up took maybe a minute and the phone has worked flawlessly, despite being located in the exact opposite end of our house (it's nice not needing to add a phone line to the room too). Now I don't have to run down to the master phone or dig out my phone book when I need to make a call. We purchased this handset about six months after purchasing the "master" phone. The fact that it has the same functionality (minus the answering machine) is an extra bonus. Highly recommended. I admit I was initially a little concerned about the compatibility and performance. I needn't have worried.
I'm going to send it back. Four different adults read the instructions, and not one of them could get this handset to register with the base.
My only complaint is that the base is so light that when you attempt to place the phone back in it, it falls over. Also, because it takes a little extra effort, my kids fail to put it back so then a phone hunt is necessary.
The instruction manual is one of the most ridiculous I've ever encountered. The search feature makes ALL the phones beep.not a great idea.In terms of esthetics, it has a very nice appearance.
I purchased three of these phones to add to the wall unit I have in my kitchen. It's a little irritating when you're in a hurry and can take a number of attempts before it connects.
Instead of being a booklet, it's a HUGE piece of paper that completely covered my kitchen table. I like many of the features but the intercom is my favorite: it has reduced my yelling instructions across the house to the kids.
You must hold the back of the base unit in order to reconnect the phone.
For the price, this is the best buy I have found in a add on cordless phone system with answering machine. I bought this product and am really impressed with the quality and functions of it.
Just like the phone on the base station, the readout has somewhat small numbers, and lacks the intensity and brightness of newer DECT phones, such as a color display one from Philips that I also own.I do recommend this product. It is stylish, and the call quality is good. Great service from the vendor. The phone is what I had expected, since I have the base station.
