When attached to a cordless phone base, can you just press the picture button, or do you have to first press the call button on the handset?

You must have a dial tone before pushing the button to dial. You can either use the speaker button or the phone button on the hand unit. You must disconnect in between calls. The buttons will dial every time you hit them, even after the phone has dialed the number. Hope this helps.

you have to press the call button on handset first then the photo button. This item was just what we needed, my 84 yr old mom has no problem using this once we went through it a couple times.

Plugs into the cordless handsets, don't know if there is a place to plug it in to the actual base station.

That confused me as well! The handsets are cordless, but the bases have to be plugged in. Works great!

Take it off. It has no affect on the product. You do have to hold the power button for a few seconds before the handset turns on.

No, you have to push a button on the base and phone. Very easy to do. I had same problem as you.

No, like most phones with no cordless handset, it's powered by the phone line.

I am not totally sure, but the extension bases have no knobs or buttons, so I have no idea how it could be done with no controls. I really haven't looked at all the stuff on the base -- it just sits there and I use the handset.

No, you still need to turn on the phone unless you have the motion function set (I don't).

I just experimented with this for you. You can answer the base unit without lifting the receiver by pressing a speaker phone button while the handsets are on their chargers. However, you can not do the same with the handsets (answer or speak on them with the handsets on their chargers). If the handset is in the cradle, it automatically hangs up.

you need the 'base' first. however, you do not need a phone jack for the expansions - just a power outlet (super way to expand phones without having to install phone jacks).

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.

The portable handsets have a speaker phone. There is a button on the front of the phone, very bottom on the left hand side. It looks like a sideways cane tip and has three curved half circles after it. Just press that and you can use the speaker phone. Hope I explained that so it makes sense.

Yes you can. There's a button on the side with a little picture of a phone. You can press that button to answer and hangup on calls

if you are referring to the number of connections on the cordless phone and NOT the base unit , you only need to plug in the ac adapter for charging the phone //////the base unit is the only thing that needs the phone line(s) and charger plugged in :O)

there are two modes: regular and photocall. to dial a photocall, you can either put the phone in photocall mode or you push the photocall button and then push the programmed number button. hope this makes sense since it is a little hard to describe.

Only the base has to be connected to a phone line. The cordless bases have to be plugged in to an outlet only. This is a good easy to use reliable phone. I have had it for almost a year and it is so simple I am sure you will love it.

No, it is only a portable handset for the base phone and must be activated from the base.
