Base Unit Selection

When Automatic Base Unit Access is selected, the handset automatically searches for
other registered bases if you move outside of the radio range of the current base unit.
When a specified base unit is selected, the handset will access that base unit only. Calls
(both incoming and outgoing) can be conducted only via the selected base unit, even if
the radio cells overlap with neighbouring base units.

• Even if "AUTO" is selected, it is cancelled when the handset is registered to the other

Operating Additional Base Units: You can register and operate your handset with up
to 4 base units. Each base unit forms 1 radio cell. If the individual bases are linked to the
same telephone line then you can extend the operating range of the system by
positioning the bases so that the two radio cells overlap. If the handset is set to AUTO
base selection, then in standby mode the handset will automatically swap to the second
base if the range on the first base is exceeded. It is not possible to transfer calls between
bases (only between handsets linked to the same base unit).

Walkie-Talkie

The Walkie-Talkie feature allows handsets to communicate with each other outside the
range of the base unit. When the handsets are in Walkie-Talkie mode, external calls
cannot be received. Only KX-A145E with Walkie-Talkie feature can communicate with
one another. Talk time in this mode is approximately 6 hours.

Range:
The maximum range between two handsets whilst in Walkie-Talkie mode is up to
50 metres indoors and 300 metres outdoors.

Set the Walkie-Talkie Mode

You can set the Walkie-Talkie mode. There are two types. Common Base Station mode
and Group mode. The factory preset is Group mode.

- In Common Base Station mode, communication is possible between handsets
registered to a common base unit. If the handsets are registered to more than one
base unit, the same base unit must be selected.

Please note, the feature will not operate if AUTO is set in the base unit selection.

If Common mode is selected and the handset is not registered to a base unit, an error
tone sounds.

- In Group mode, communication is possible between handsets that are both set to this
mode and whose Group ID’s are common.
This allows the handsets not to be dependent upon the base unit to which they are
registered and can operate outside of the base unit range.

Before Requesting Help

If you experience any problems with the normal use of your apparatus, you should
unplug it from the telephone outlet and connect a known working telephone in its place.
If the known working telephone still has problems, then please contact the customer

In this case, contact your supplier for advice. Your Network provider may charge you if
they attend a service call that is not due to an apparatus supplied by them.
