Panasonic Dect 6.0 Dark Grey Cordless Phone with Answering Machine (KX-TG6432M)

We purchased and received this cordless phone/answering system a week ago. So far, it has provided flawless operation. It was very easy to set up. Everything works as it should, with enough range on the handsets for our three story home with no noise or interference. The caller ID voice announcements are fun, although the name pronunciation on some callers is funny to hear (that feature can be turned off if it annoys you). We have not had any unexpected volume change problems as reported on some Panasonic cordless models. All in all, we are very pleased with this device.

The screen characters are large and the buttons are a nice size. I like well-designed products that work great, and this is definitely one of those.

Don't connect the phone line yet; keep using your old phone & allow the handsets to charge the required 7 hours. Do not read ahead in the manual; it will only scare you! 2. Connect the phone line to the base unit & sit down with it, the handset from that unit, & the manual. Go through the manual page by page, playing around with each feature to learn how it works. Call your landline # from your cell phone to try out caller ID & the answering machine. 3. The first time you answer the phone or make an outgoing call, turn the volume on the handset down to the middle setting. The sound quality out of the box was...Read more
