Hi Lillehammer, I asked my husband about the button on the side and he said the phone can be use like a walkie talkie, if you have 2 of the same phones connected to the base. He showed me how and it does work. To turn of the walkie talkie, you just hit the red button (off button) twice. Pretty neat, especially if you are outside hanging out clothes or walking the dog and he is inside the house.

I press the green button to turn the phone on and then dial the number. After the number is dialed, someone should answer the phone. I did have one of these phone (Broken after 3 years, because it got dropped one to many times.) that when you hit the green button and dialed sometimes you had to hit the green button again to let the call go through, but the other 2 phones were not like that. It really is a good phone to have, especially with the Handset Locator Button on the base unit. This has saved me a lot of time.

You mean like a radio? No, but you need to press the green button to turn it on when you start using it.

Yes (with my Android cell phone). Push the button on the microphone to answer the call.

Yes. I lay the handset to the side, and just hold down the hook (dial-tone button) when I want to begin or end the call. That's easier than lifting the handset each time.

Yes, this phone has a mute button on the handsets that works very well. It's an easy access button on the keypad.

Both the base unit and the handsets have a mute function. However it is not a button, but rather a soft key that shows up on the menu during a call.

You can't. This is a pretty basic handset and has no buttons. Like I said on my review I wouldn't recommend it. I thru mine away.

It's not exactly a mute button but the handsets can be programmed not to ring for a specific period of time. I have not used that feature but it is covered on Pg 29 of the manual

I'm not sure I understand your question. There is no external sound from the handset or the base; if you want to use a speakerphone function you would simply use whatever is on your phone. When you answer an incoming call using the red answer button on the handset it automatically routes the audio to the handset, so in that instance you would have to lift the handset to say hello and then activate the phone's external speaker manually. I am not sure if any phones have the capability of being set to automatically turn on the speakerphone when answering a call with that external handset's red answer button.

Yes - each handset has a menu select and directory function. When set up go to directory, select entry and press phone. Call is initiated.

I do not have my phone with me ...I'm on a trip but I believe you will see a "Mute" option be enabled when you are in talk mode...the top right softkey button will become active on your handset so you can push it to go into mute mode.

We regret to inform you this system requires the handset to be answered prior to speaking from another. Full details can be found in the below link. ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/telephone/om/kx-tg9541_kx-tg9542_om.pdf#page=31

Yes. Via the intercom. Pressing the intercom causes the other phone to make a noise. You answer it like you would a regular call. Person one tells you there is a call and I believe they just hang up and you're still connected to the call. You can also conference call this way.Page 38 of the Users Guide.

Can you use the speaker without needing to pick up the hand set to dial or hang up?

Yes, you can, but you have to answer phone from touch on screen..then close the case and you can talk and hear fine.

Yes, it does have voice command dialing. In fact, if you look at the picture of the buttons on the phone, the second one down on the left has a face with voice vibrations coming out of its mouth. This is a dedicated button to activate the voice dialing or other commands. You can also activate it from Bluetooth headsets.

Yes, these handsets have speakerphones. There isn't a speakerphone on the base unit.
