Multi-Unit User Operations
Operating Additional Handsets
Additional KX-TCA151E handsets are available for purchase separately. Up to 6
handsets can be registered to a single base unit. Using additional handsets allows you
to have an intercom call while simultaneously conducting a call to an outside line.
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).

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-TCA151E with Walkie-Talkie feature can communicate
with one another.
Talk time in this mode is approximately 6 hours. Standby time in this mode is
approximately max. 15 hours. (It changes by the use conditions.) When using the
handset in Walkie-Talkie mode, we recommend keeping the handset turned off, turning
it on only when talking in Walkie-Talkie mode. Turning the handset off immediately after
use will improve battery operating time.
Range:
The maximum range between two handsets while in Walkie-Talkie mode is up to
300 metres outdoors.
Setting 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 handsets to communicate in Walkie-Talkie mode regardless of which
base unit they are registered to.
