You can register and operate your cordless 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
cordless two radio cells overlap. If the cordless handset is set to auto base selection,

The Walkie-Talkie feature allows cordless handsets to communicate with each other
outside the range of the base unit. When the cordless 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
cordless handset in Walkie-Talkie mode, we recommend keeping the cordless
handset turned off, turning it on only when talking in Walkie-Talkie mode. Turning the
cordless handset off immediately after use will improve battery operating time.
Range:
The maximum range between two cordless 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 cordless
handsets registered to a common base unit. If the cordless 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 Base Station mode is selected and the cordless handset is not registered
to a base unit, an error tone sounds.
- In Group mode, communication is possible between cordless handsets that are both
set to Walkie-Talkie mode and have the same common Group ID.
This allows cordless handsets to communicate in Walkie-Talkie mode regardless of
which base unit they are registered to.
