Panasonic KX-TGA560B 5.8 GHz FHSS GigaRange® Expandable Digital Cordless Handset

Bought this to add a 4th handset to my KX-TG5633. Initially, after reading the technical specs for the 5633 at the Panasonic website, I wasn't certain that the 560 would work with my system; the Pana website says "Multi Handset Compatability: up to 3 handsets". "Did the 3 include the base handset too," I wondered? Yet the amazon info for the 5633 suggested that it could take 4 handsets. After digging out and consulting the 5633's manual, I was satisfied that I could take a 4th handset and ordered.

After receiving the 560, I was pleased to see the back of its box listed graphically all the systems that it would work with and also numerous ones that it would NOT work with. I've scanned the back of the box and posted it as one of the customer product images. Hopefully this will save you a lot of time in figuring out whether the 560 handset works for you.

We purchased this additional phone to add to our 3 phone 5.8 ghz digital Panasonic answering system/phone system. All 4 phones work great with excellent sound. Speaker phone feature on each handset also is nice. Great improvement over our previous GE system (about 3 years old).

It's a great phone. It has more bells and whisles than a mortal can use, including an anwering machine in every handset. I have three handsets to go with the base unit, which covers my two-story house nicely. A little over a year since I bought them, one of the hand units began to go beep erratically with the function window flashing and running around the features. The battery was on "1" but was not accepting the charge. I switched batteries. The unit did the same crazy song and dance, as if someone was rotating the joystick button. This joystick button seems to be "stuck" electronically. Must be the circuit board. There is nothing by way of support on the Panasonic website. So I am about to replace the unit on Amazon. In twnety years of woning panasonic phones, this is the first time, I've had failure. Stuff happens, as Rumsfeld used to say.
