Give your small business or home the productivity-enhancing features of a 2-line, small business telephone system but without the high price tag. The Panasonic 2-Line, Multi-Handset 2.4GHz Cordless Phone allows you to dial-out or answer from either of two phone lines. But unlike standard business-quality phone systems, this one operates via cordless transmission, eliminating the need for expensive (and messy) wiring and installation.
Simply hook up the base to your phone lines and plug it into an AC outlet. Then all you have to do is set up the included handset where you want it and plug in the recharging stand. Up to 7 additional handsets (sold separately) can be added to the system, either right away or as your needs grow. It's that simple.
But its easy connectivity doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of this full-featured phone. In fact, it's loaded with dozens of high-end features that even the most demanding phone users need, including:
Multi-Line Operation (Up To 2 Phone Lines) With 3-Way ConferencingThe phone allows you and one other caller to make separate calls at the same time (where two lines are installed). You can also conference two outside calls together with a single system handset, or conference two system handsets together with one outside call.
2.4GHz FHSS Digital OperationThe base unit and cordless handsets communicate in both directions using 2.4 GHz Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) transmission. FHSS technology improves calling range and clarity, and eliminates cross talk. Because it rapidly changes transmission frequencies within the 2.4 GHz bandwidth, this cordless system helps reduce the possibility of eavesdropping.
All-Digital Voice Mail System With Auto AttendantPanasonic's convenient, reliable, all-digital voice mail includes many advanced features you'd only expect from more expensive systems, including:
- Mailboxes There is a general delivery mailbox on the base unit, plus one individual mailbox for each additional handset. Each user can record a personal greeting in his/her mailbox, and can access it from any system handset or an outside line.
- Auto Attendant Eliminates the need for a receptionist in your office, and also prevents messages from getting lost at home. You can set the voice mail system to automatically answer all incoming calls with a recorded greeting, and to route callers to their desired extension or mailbox.
- Simultaneous Voice Mail Operation The phone's internal circuitry allows up to four people to access voice mail at once. Many other cordless systems' answering devices only permit a single voice path, which gives any other user attempting to retrieve voice mail an annoying busy signal.
- 100-Minute Recording Time In long recording mode, the phone system has a recording time capacity up to 100 minutes.
- Auto Message Delete Messages left in a mailbox for longer than 30 days will be automatically deleted, ensuring that your system will always have sufficient recording time.
- Message Delivery and Transfer You'll also be able to send and transfer messages to other users' mailboxes with a single operation.
- Remote Access A user can access voice mail from any touch-tone keypad, even outside of the office, with the aid of voice prompts.
Caller ID With Call WaitingCaller ID with Call Waiting lets you view the name and number of all incoming callers on either the base unit or handset LCD even if you're already on the line. This Caller ID feature stores up to 50 names on the base unit (up to 30 names on each handset), with direct callback capability. This feature requires a subscription to Caller ID service from your telephone service provider.
Caller ID Pager CallThanks to Caller ID pager call, you can program the phone to notify your pager when you've received an incoming call, and to forward the Caller ID data to your pager's display. This feature requires a subscription to Caller ID service from your telephone service provider.
2-Way Intercom/PagingCall any other extension in the system from the base unit or a handset, or page the entire group from the base unit with the touch of a button.
Voice Mail Message Waiting IndicatorThe base of your multi-handset cordless phone has a light that illuminates to let you know that you have new messages in your mailbox. For added convenience, the LCD on the phone's handset will also display a new message icon.
3-Line Multi-Function Backlit LCD ScreenThe backlit display on both the base unit and handset clearly display caller ID data without scrolling. The LCD also features six icons that show operating status including the phone lines in use.
Phone Directory and DialerStore up to 50 frequently called numbers on the base unit (up to 30 on each handset) in an alphabetical directory.
High-Capacity Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) BatteryOffering twice the capacity of a regular (NiCd) rechargeable battery, this battery fully recharges in 8 hours.
Battery Backup SystemPowers the entire system (the base unit and up to 8 handsets) for up to 20 minutes during a power outage. Most cordless telephone systems can not be used at all without power.
