You should be fine, the range is usually several hundred feet depending on where the system base is placed. Bluetooth range is usually very short, but the Panasonic cordless handsets on this phone system use DECT. The only communication via Bluetooth would be from the system base to your cell phone, which you will simply place close to one another. With our Buy Now button, you could purchase the phones and if the system doesn’t work for you then you can return it following the instructions in the box.

I can’t find anywhere what the max range / distance from the base would be to where the handsets can go. And, at 1.9ghrz will it go through really thick one foot interior walls?
What i read is that it goes from Upstairs to Downstairs well, but that is vertical range, I have a one story house and regular bluetooth ear pieces start going out within 10 feet of my cell phone. Is this base more powerful? thanks!

Owned this system for 6 months. Paired with iPhone. The system will drop the call 8 out of 10 times with the answer button or set to answer on picking up the handset. Have moved the base numerous times and places my home. I don’t know if it is interference with other wireless system or a problem in the iPhone bluetooth software. Any suggestions?
Thank You

REPLY: You’ll need to keep your iPhone as far away from the Panasonic base as possible. Also be sure you have updated your iPhone to the latest operating system software by connecting your iPhone to your computer and updating through iTunes. Finally, try turning off WiFi on the iPhone.

Will this panasonic phone work with an Apple I-Phone?

RESPONSE: Yes, you should have no problems using an iPhone with this model Panasonic phone. The worst complaint I’ve heard is regarding a clicking/static which is the result of the cell phone being placed too closely to the Panasonic base unit and it is a common problem with other cell phones too. Just keep the cell phone about 10 inches away and you should be okay!

Yes, the batteries are charged when the handsets are sitting in the remote stations. The cost is high because of the bluetooth functionality linking your cell phone to all the multiple handsets in the system so that you can place and receive landline or cellular calls from anywhere in your home or office.

Are the batteries charged while in the phones while they are in their remote stations? Or must the batteries be removed and then charged in the base station (not as convenient).

I really like the idea of having rechargeable Nimh batteries, though the phone is a bit pricey for me. Have you a single station version that recharges in the base?

Thanks -

if i will keep my phone off for 3 months …..is this will effect on battery life ? what care i should take for battery?? please answer me as soon as possible !!!

EDITOR’S RESPONSE: No, it should not effect overall battery life. However, when you connect the battery again you will probably be forced to charge the cordless handset for at least 7 hours before use.
