What is the max distance between the Base and a Handset and what is the max distance between the Base and a paired cellphone

The manual says 10 feet...but we've had our cell phone further than that. Generally Bluetooth range is 30'. Just leave your cell phone within range of the base unit. The base has lights indicating whether BT is connected - yellow for not, green for connected. Keep an eye on those lights, today the base light was yellow with the cell in range - somehow the BT was turned off on the Cell. Turned it on and the phones reconnected.

I have taken my phone out to the greenhouse which is at least 120 feet from the base. I do not know what the range from my cell phone to the base would be. When I am home the cell phone is in the house with me. I do know that it will ring when my cell is in the kitchen and the base is in my bedroom, which is opposite ends of the house. Hope this helps.

W. Tobias had the correct answer. The Panasonic range extender does not have any effect on the bluetooth range - cell phones will have to be within 15-20 feet from the base.

All "registering to the base" means is that you enter a code into the handset so it can find the base unit. Otherwise the handset doesnt' know that the base unit exists.

I have a base and an extra handset and they both are exactly the same phone, so I would say you could just get the base set and be fine.

Don't waste your money. The range on these phones is horrible. I bought the base and 3 handsets, and none of them worked anything to what you would consider normal. Hard to pair with the base also, but after a lot of effort, I finally did get them paired, but they just never worked. If you are within 20' you may be OK, but in different rooms, you will not. Be happy. I sent everything back, and went back to my old Panasonic system.

You can only have two phones connected at once, and it gives you the option of selecting number 1 or 2. You have to know/remember which is which. I rarely dial out on cell from these phones, but often will answer using them. It works great, but the cell phone needs to be relatively close to the base (15-20 feet). I keep mine on a charger about 5 feet away.

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

This device needs to be within a few feet of the cell phone you are using. The Bluetooth radio in this thing doesn't reach farther than maybe 10 feet.

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

This is a cordless land line telephone with a bluetooth feature that allows you to link up to 2 cell phones (you can only use them one at a time, however).According to the operating manual (see page 18) this feature allows you to make or answer cellular calls using your land line. But bluetooth only works up to 30 feet so you have to have your cell phone close to the land line phone to use it. Unless you have places in you home where cell reception is very poor, I fail to see how this "link to cell feature" will be of much use. I have no use for it, myself.

After the bluetooth is paired with your phone you call answer the call by the button on the side ao disconnect the same way. The phone does have to be close to use because the range depending on any structures is around 30 feet

Sound is good depending on the distance from the base. Handset is on the lighter side.

The cord from the phone to the base that your headset is attached to depends on how long of a phone cord you have. I have purchased two 6 ft phone cord and used them to give more areas that I can go to from the phone to the headset base. The only issues it that if you have multiple lines coming in you need to be close to the main phone system to access the phone lines as they ring in. The cord from the headset to the base is only 8 ft. Hopefully this will help. Jennifer

Phone has to be charged after you install the batteries. Problem with the unit. I could not get the unit to work right if I was more than 10' from the base station. If you are using additional handset's I would advise buying something else. I had to return everything. I would get three beeps constantly telling me I was to far from the base. I was never more than 50' away, and in some cases less than 20'. I would look for something else.

Why do you want to use the handset next to the base? Maybe the proximity of the the two is the source of your problem. I own two of these systems, and use the handsets in rooms adjoining the bases. In both cases the handset works perfectly. Check to make sure the handset is fully charged.

the answering machine will tell you how many messages you have. The handset will only show you have a message not how many. You can check the messages from both the base and the handset. Hope this answers your question.
