How will the base recognize the extra handset?

The new handset must be registered to the main base. Full details on the registration process can be found in the below link. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXTG6591-MUL.PDF#page=31

I don't remember , but it came with instructions that was very easily followed. When it was done, it seemed almost too simple to be true.

It is in the instructions included with the handset. The whole setup takes about 10 seconds.

Yes, just as pictured here. However, I'm sure you probably understand that it is an add-on handset and won't work without the main "home base" phone.

Well I do not know if they sell only the hand set. But I can use a new handset with and old base and a new base whit and old handset. Is only cuestion of pairing.

The base does not. The phones themselves do. It is on the side of the phone near the bottom next to the "7" button.

If the handsets match the base, you can add handsets to it. The base unit has a maximum number of handsets that can be added. Consult the docs on that, and to make sure you are adding the right model to the existing base unit.

I don't recall seeing that option in the manual. As I registered each handset the names were, in order, Handset 1, Handset 2 and Handset 3. You might check the manual to be certain.

this *is* the additional handset. this is not the base phone that you add to. so do not buy this one as your first unit. get the base unit first and add these on as you need.

Yes. The handsets are all identical. Any of them can function on the main base. The only function of the auxiliary bases is to charge the batteries.

Yes. Just make sure they're the same model. We have 1 "base" plus five additional stations. The handsets are all interchangeable.

I have 3 handsets operating off of the base and you do have to "register" each one to the base for them to work.

You need to buy a base unit that will work with this hand set. If you look on the Amazon site for your item, it lists all of the base sets it works with, "Extra Handset for: KX-TG7733S, KX-TG7732S, KX-TG7742S, KX-TG7743S, KX-TG7745S, KX-TG7741S, KX-TG7731S"

Yes. If you ever have questions about which handset will work with which base, you can always consult this page: http://gigaset.com/us/en/cms/PageCustomerServicesCompatibility.html

on the back of the base or your other cordless phone should be the model number - type that number into Amazon and it should find the same model. We needed extra phones for our office for an expansion and did this. When the phones arrived, the directions told you how to sync the new phones to the existing base. We've had no problems - very easy to do. We did have to call customer service for a different minor issue and they were so friendly and helpful. Hope this helps.

Nunz - Ignore the "yes" replies below. Unless the two handsets are registered to a compatble base model, they will not serve your purpose.

All of the handsets are the same. You just need to give it a number when you pair it to the base, it doesn't care where the handset is located.

Not sure sir. I only have the one base with 5 phones included. I just plugged this extra on in and it synced to the main base and works all features just fine. I can check my voice mails and all with this one added to the 5 phone answering system I have. Hope this helped you!!!

Sorry but I don't know. My set had four handsets which was sufficient for my use. I would speculate that it would but that is pure speculation.
