Ideal for home and small offices, the Panasonic KX-TG4773 single-line telephone has a one-corded handset (which can be wall-mounted or placed on a desk) and three cordless handsets. The handsets have a separate battery charger station that does not plug into the telephone system. The phone system, which employs digital enhanced cordless telecommunications technology and can be expanded to a maximum of six handsets, is budget-friendly, durable, and convenient to use. The telephones operate from the same telephone jack, and they can be placed around the house or office with assurance that range and sound quality will be excellent. The DECT 6.0 technology, which operates at 1.9 GHz, is a cordless telephone platform that provides improved range without needing to boost the power. DECT 6.0 phones have superior sound quality and are not affected by interference created by wireless networks because the platform has been set aside exclusively for cordless phone use. Therefore, there is no interference from other DECT systems, Wi-Fi networks, baby monitors, other wireless devices, or Bluetooth technology. Intelligent Eco Mode automatically reduces handset power consumption by suppressing handset transmission power when the handset is close to the base unit. With the Auto Talk feature, you can answer calls simply by lifting the handset off the charger. A shared phonebook, which stores up to 100 names and phone numbers, allows you to make calls without having to dial manually. The system is Caller ID compatible. When an outside call is being received, the caller’s name and phone number are displayed, and caller information for the last 50 callers is logged in the caller list, from the most recent call to the oldest. Outside calls can be transferred or a conference call with an outside party can be made between two handsets or between a handset and the base unit. In addition, intercom calls can be made between a handset and the base unit or between handsets. The system can be programmed to reject calls by name and number from callers such as repeat telemarketers. Information is shown in the display area of the base unit and handsets in English or Spanish, and the answering system can also be programmed for the English or Spanish. When callers leave messages on the answering system, the phone records the day and time of each message. You can also choose to set the phone to play a greeting message, but not to record caller messages. The total recording capacity is about 18 minutes, and a maximum of 64 messages can be recorded. To screen your calls, you can listen to a call through the phone’s speakers while a caller is leaving a message. Panasonic accessories such as telephone headsets, cordless telephone batteries, and repeaters for DECT 6.0 phones are available. The telephone system comes with a limited warranty that covers parts and labor for one year. During this period, Panasonic will either repair your phone with new or refurbished parts or replace it with a new or refurbished phone.
