Would recommend
I left Panasonic for a BT phone recently when my old one died. Big mistake, poor screen and answer button impossible to find in dim light ! So I passed it on to charity, and now am back with a new , efficient and easy to use Panasonic duo – excellent.
Does the job. Very happy.
On the handset you want to pair to a main base unit you already have.
Press menu button on top top right. then # then 130.
then go to the base unit, not base handset (which us a mistake a lot of people make). Go to the base unit and you’ll find a button called Locator that looks like *))).
Hold that button for 3 to 5 seconds. And the handset in that base unit will show “base in registering”.
Then go to the handset you are trying to register and press ok. It will ask for a pin, which is 0000 and then press ok.
It should pair up within 10 seconds.
Instructions on booklet do not make it clear that you need to press the locator button on the base unit that you are trying to connect all the handsets to, and not on the base units handset.
hope this is clear. enjoy.
Anyone who remembers the old Spectrum home PCs will know what I am talking about.
Anyway. I felt bad for gifting her something she couldn’t get along with so did some research and came up with these and thus far they are great. It took her about 30 seconds to get how to enter numbers into a phone book, another 30 to work out how to navigate it. The screen is easy and clear to see, the handsets seem robust and comfortable to hold. The sound quality seems fine so far but given it’s only been used for local calls thus far I cannot, in truth, give five stars for that until it’s been tested on full national and international calls.
Battery life is good as long as you follow the instructions to charge them for a full 18 hours before you use them. The fact they are included is a nice touch though. BTW, my last Panasonics came with rechargeables as well. In five years then never degraded.
There is only one minor bugbear. The main base unit dock Has no front retention so the handset has nothing to prevent it from sliding forward and off if knocked. The secondary base is fine in that respect. It is only a little thing and for the most part will not affect anyone who uses it unless the base is placed in a location where it might be knocked.
Overall I am most pleased with this. I was a little dubious at first but in the end I had no reason to be. Most recommended.
Speakerphone function included so phone can be used hands free. There’s capacity to store up to 50 names & numbers in the phone memory – again it’s straightforward to add or find contacts in the phone. There’s a locator function on the phone which can be used if you misplace a handset – press button and the missing phone will ring for you to locate! Orange backlight (picture attached) when the phone is ringing or is taken out of the base unit. This set comes with 2 handsets, one base has an answer machine and the second base is just a charging unit (picture attached), cable length from socket is a good size. Fast charging and long battery life … I haven’t tested how long it takes to completely run battery down but I’ve had handset off the base unit for hours at a time with little difference made to the battery.
There is no need to set up both phones individually e.g. if you add a contact to phonebook it’ll automatically update the second phones menu.
They’re nice looking phones, comfortable & easy to use, adjustable ringer/push button tones, good sound and clarity during calls, caller ID incoming phone numbers are clearly visible on screen, call blocking is easily activated if needed.
Overall this is a good phone set with a range of functions …. but ultimately the phone has a good size keypad for dialling numbers, there’s clarity of sound when on a call and it’s loud enough when ringing!
