Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
The KX-TG2216FV's stylish, splash- and shock-resistant cordless handset gives you the freedom to use the phone while engaged in most household activities. The phone's 2.4 GHz digital technology avoids the hiss and fuzziness that analog signals are subject to. Maintenance is minimal: the supplied rechargeable NiMH battery provides up to five hours of talk time and lasts for 11 days on standby.

With call waiting/caller ID and 30-station memory, the LCD shows the name and number of incoming callers even when you're on another call. (Call waiting requires a subscription to a fee-based phone-company service.) The phone even includes an FSK- and stutter-compatible message-waiting indicator. If you subscribe to a voicemail service, a light on the phone will illuminate when you have new messages.

Panasonic's Voice Enhancer technology "helps clarify and improve sound reception creating a natural-sounding voice that is easy to hear and understand. The Panasonic Voice Enhancer Technology is able to simulate a band signal above and below the normal bandwidth limitations, achieving a sound which is close to the actual voice."

The three-line, multifunction LCD lets you see all caller ID information without scrolling. Also, back lighting on the handset LCD aids visibility in low light situations. A digital handset speakerphone helps reduce the echo and dropout commonly found in speakerphones. Up to 30 names and telephone numbers can be stored alphabetically and quickly accessed for dialing via the handset's navigator key.

Six selectable ring tones let you choose from a variety of alerts for incoming calls, and a low-battery indicator on the LCD lets you know when its time to recharge the battery.

5.0 out of 5 stars First rate phone, August 23, 2004

By	Ellis Godard (Moorpark, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This phone is the highest rated cordless of the 143 that Amazon offers, and for good reason: equipment quality, sound clarity, and low price, offering the advantages of speakphone *and* cordless for less than half the price of similar products!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality and good looks, February 5, 2004

By	"toniola" (Grass Valley, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I've been looking for a decent cordless phone that doesn't cost a lot and will handle CID/Call Waiting...but, I also wanted something that doesn't feel like a pile of plastic in my hand and look like a cheap stamped out generic device. This phone, so far, has exceeded my expectations. Everything about it is quality. The packing..the included ear piece headset...the built in speakerphone...the manual. The one thing I wanted to find out in the manual was how to treat the battery and it defined that perfectly. I kind of knew this already, but it was great to see that they spelled it out in print. To achieve maximum memory/charge, it's important to let the battery discharge all the way before charging it again, at least for the first few cycles. Amazingly, this manual pointed that out.
The ear piece was, at first, hard to put on, but, duh, I read the manual and am now wearing it with great pleasure and fit...as well as great audio. It even has a volume and mut control on the cord.

Anyway...I'd recommend this phone highly. Comes in blue or red...I got the red..different and flashy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally - I found my match!, March 9, 2004

By A Customer

I was on the quest for my match - my phone match that is. And I finally found it. I was very frustrated, since I went through one phone after another. Would take it out of the package, read the booklet, get the battery charged and then - nothing but dissapointment. Tried the VTch and Uniden and now this Panasonic phone. Even though I thought it was a little pricy I decided to give it a try. Does not have an answering machine, but that did not matter to me, since I have Voice Mail. Right from the start I was excited, since I just had to charge the phone for 6 hours and not 16 like the other phones. Excellent clarity and reception. Another feature I love is, that I am using the 10-10 phone #'s for cheap long distance and this phone can store phone # 36 digits long. So you plug all the numbers in and just hit "phonebook" and "dial". Great! Bought the phone in the blue/purple color. It also has a battery indicator like you know it from your cell phone. So, when the battery is getting low - put it back in the charger. I would recommend this phone to anybody.
