From the Manufacturer
With the ability to make multiple copies as well as enlarge, reduce and collate, this unit is not just a fax machine, but a true home/life office command center. The cordless phone's 5.8 GHz frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology operates on a different wavelength with much less traffic than the 2.4 GHz technology while maintaining the great security, incredible clarity, and long range. Have a wireless computer network, or thinking about getting one? 5.8 GHz technology will not interfere with wireless networks such as 802.11b or 802.11g WiFi.

You can put handsets all over your house-in your kid's rooms or even in the garage-without all the messy wiring or complicated setup. With 5.8 GHz expandable phone systems, you don't need a phone jack for each additional handset--just one for the base unit. So start expanding and forget about all your wiring worries (extra handsets sold separately, one included).

With Talking Caller ID, you don't have to get up to see who's calling--the phone will tell you. Panasonic cordless phones are the only cordless phones to incorporate true text-to-speech technology used in conjunction with your caller ID service. There's no need for preprogramming or any fancy setup. As long as you have caller ID service, just plug-and-play! Now you won't be interrupted by strange calls when you're washing the dishes, eating dinner, or just watching TV. Let the phone tell you who's calling, so you can decide if you want to answer it or not.

This phone system is equipped with an all-digital answering system for quick, easy retrieval of crystal-clear messages. Message operation has never been easier, with up to 15 minutes of recording time and three mailboxes, plus features like pre-recorded outgoing message, remote operation, toll saver, and skip-and-repeat. And don't worry about losing your messages when the power goes out--they're stored in flash memory so they're unaffected by power failure or interruptions.

Having a handset speakerphone may not seem like such a big deal, until you have to call an automated phone system. By the time you press "2" and return the phone to your ear, you missed half the next option! And when they put you on hold for ten minutes, do you really need to hold the phone? Not with the handset speakerphone. Just listen along, and press a button or pick up when it's convenient. You'll think up other great uses, like letting grandma and grandpa listen to their new grandchild at the same time, painting your nails as you talk to your best friend, or just being able to set the phone down while you talk.

Customer Reviews

A couple of features short of perfect
This is a great system. I purchased this and three additional handsets to replace a broken fax machine and an older cordless phone system I had not quiet liked. The sound quality is very good. One of my favorite features is checking the voicemail right from any of the handsets.

There are two improvements I would make to this system: (1) Give the base unit a good old corded handset, and (2) equip the cordless handsets with better battery technology, one that would allow keeping the handsets on their chargers most of the time, instead of strongly suggesting to wait until batteries discharge to a certain level.

Make no mistake it's a fantastic system. The best cordless phone system I've had yet. I definitely recommend it.

Almost Perfected!!
Sometimes manufacturer's get it right. This product is no exception. All of the features work as advertised. It is economical with it's use of the "printing film" (for copies and faxes). Of course, the more you fax and copy, the sooner it will run out.

I've purchased 4 additional "remote hand sets" (Quantity:2 of KXTGA520M and quantity:2 of KXTGA523M). I also purchased the Headset KXTCA92) as well for my office.

I've owned this system for 10 months and everything works flawlessly! Calls are crystal clear; Conference works great; it stores over 30 "missed" calls (I usually delete them when there is that many). I've only replaced the replaceable film once. I'd say that I fax and copy maybe twice a week. The battery life on all of the phones is excellent. I've had conference calls lasting up to 5 hours (thank god for the headset) and the battery still listed 3 full bars after I hung up.

There is a nice backlight to see who's calling. There is also a nice female digital voice that reads off who is calling when the phone rings. This feature may seem trivial, but it works at every handset throughout the house so you don't have to be near the "main terminal" to hear it. If the caller does not allow caller ID, but allow their call number to display, the female voice says "number available" but does not read the number. If their "name" comes up, it will read the name and gets it pronounced correctly about 85% of the time. For example, a phone call from "Dan & Angela Dickens" is pronounced correctly but a call from "UNICOM" is pronounced "u-ni-come" instead of U-NI-COM.

Here's the one drawback: When someone like a telemarketer calls and you see that it's from an "888" number, you can hit the "off" button which stops that particular phone from ringing any further. However, it does not stop ALL of the other phones from continuing to ring. As I said, I purchased 4 other handsets scattered throughout the house so you can hear the other phones ringing after you hit the "off" button. A minor annoyance I've found to be a small mark on the overall feature set.

The distance allowed from the "main terminal" is also excellent. I've been on conference calls and walked to my mailbox outside which is about 700 feet away with no loss or degredation of signal. I am not sure what the manufacturer specifications are but I believe that is plenty for just about any household or small office.

To summarize, I've owned 3 of these types of "all in one" phone systems over the past 10 years and this model (and it's accessories) are top notch! I recommend it highly to anyone!

Couldn't be more pleased
I did a lot of research before buying this product but decided on it because of its 5.8GHZ cordless telephone/fax capability. Once I had the machine, it intimidated me because of all the features it offered but I quickly found out that it is extremely user friendly. It offers easy to use menus and even contains help information which can easily be printed out from the fax. Receiption on the telephone is crystal clear, even when used near a PC. Faxes received are also very clear. The only negative aspect of this system is the fact that it only comes with one extender phone and additional phones are a little pricey. That said, I am very happy with my choice and would buy this system again in a heartbeat.
