Does this extender count as one of the six phones in the system? i.e. can I still have six handsets in my system plus an extender?

I emailed Panasonic technical support about this before I purchased mine. They responded in less than 24 hours. The extender does not count towards the number of useable telephones. I am using six KX-TGA660 phones in conjunction with the extender.

Unfortunately, I could not get the extender to work with the system. It would not pair according to instructions and was returned.

As I have just finished talking with technical support on 10-23-2015 please be aware that these range extenders do count as handset. Therefore if you already registered 6 handsets with your base unit, this unit will not register with your base unit. You can have a maximum combination of 6 units (including range extenders and handsets) registered at any one time to your base unit. Prior information in this thread is inaccurate or out of date.

I called Panasonic, because I couldn't get my 2nd extender registered. After them telling me a few things, they said I couldn't have 5 phones and 2 extenders. So, I fooled around myself, and got the 2nd extended working (not following their instructions). So, I can say... 2 extenders work, even with 5 phones. If that worked, 6 should work with one extender. Panasonic support was not helpful. I could not find a way to e-mail them, and waited forever for phone support. Last year, I only had one extender. The second one seems to make a clearer signal.

The one I purchased was sold with the 3 extra handsets. I wanted 4. Guess you would have to see if they sell only the main unit. If not, I do remember ATT making one. Just type in single handset in search.

Yes, you can. I currently have 5 handsets connected and they all work fine. The only thing they do not do is if you save a number on one handset it does not save it on all of them.

The basic system can support 16 phones. However since it only has 4 physical ports to connect your phones, you will need the splitter/adapter you see offered with the system. Each physical port can support 4 phones for a total of 16 using the adapters. One thing to keep in mind; there is a limit to the combined total length of the wires used to connect your phones.

The Answer to this question is.....DEPENDS.....did you run a telephone cable to the other rooms? If yes, then the answer is Yes. If no, then the answer is no. It handle up to 4 incoming lines then you may distribute as you see fit using the other 6 ports.

I bought a new system with 5 phones. Each had a cradle. I can buy more extensions, each would have a cradle. You should ask the seller whether it has a cradle, without a cradle it cant work. But I think a used phone that matches the system could work on an existing cradle, but ask Panasonic

Yes, you can add more phones. I got the set that had 2 phones already and it said you could add more bases in the instructions.

I only have 4 handsets, so do not know how many (if any) more it would support.

No, not for this one, if you need additional handsets you have to purchase a different model that comes with extra handsets.You can only link the number of cell phones to the number of handsets you have or "connect & disconnect" cell phones that will be linked to the handsets

Yes, it will work. I have the KX-TG6644B that is the same as yours but with 4 handsets instead of 3. You can have a total of 6 handsets. I added 2 to mine and they worked perfectly.

It doesn't seem to limit this. I've had 3 handsets active on a single call before.

I don't think it has anything to do with the number of phones. Phone(s) just have to have Bluetooth capability. You have to sync it to each Bluetooth phone once - then it is permanently set up. Works very well; just need to keep battery charged.

If you had read your manual, it states clearly(and on the features listing on Amazon for at least one of the base units) that the base can only connect to 5 handsets.

Like the others said, you also need the base unit. Ours came with two handsets, and I bought this extra handset unit so we'd have a total of 4 phones (the base unit - which is a phone/transmitter/data storage/etc) and three handsets which receive their signal from the base unit.

the Amazon website for the phone says that there is a newer model - Panasonic KX-TG6844B DECT 6.0 4-Handset Cordless Telephone. I found this by going to the KX-TG6644B phone and it said there was a newer model. When I ordered I got the 5 handset phone and order 1 more extra one. The maximum number of phones for my set is 6. The newer version is also expandable to 6 handsets. Good Luck!

No, this will not work with other systems. In fact it works only with a handful of panasonic models. Just as you can't mix and match handsets and bases between different brands, the extender is a panasonic only device and has to be registered to a compatible panasonic system to function.

Dr. D. - Your EL51209 is not expandable. Handsets cannot be added. Look at the current edition: EL51203, which has 2 handsets. You can add up to three more; accessory handset model EL50003. Thanks!
