Product Description

The Panasonic KX-TG5439S cordless phone system utilizes 5.8 GHz Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum technology, meaning that it operates on a different wavelength with much less traffic than the 2.4 GHz technology while maintaining the great security, incredible clarity and long range. Have a wireless computer network, or thinking about getting one? 5.8 GHz technology will not interfere with wireless networks such as 802.11b or 802.11g WiFi.

All-Digital Answering System
This phone system is equipped with an all-digital answering system for quick, easy retrieval of crystal-clear messages. Message operation has never been easier, with up to 15 minutes of recording time, plus such features as pre-recorded outgoing message, remote operation, Tollsaver, and skip-and-repeat. And don't worry about losing your messages when the power goes out-they're stored in flash memory so they're unaffected by power failure or interruptions.

Silent Call Indicator Coordinates with Caller ID
The KX-TG5439S offers a shorter handset antenna than previous models while still maintaining the long range that Panasonic customers have become accustomed to. But what's even cooler is that the base of the antenna-which lights up-will alert you to an incoming call. Select from blue, green, amber or multi-color options. With Light-Up ID (requires subscription to local Caller ID service), you can choose a light-up indicator color, blue, green, amber or multi-color, to link to your preprogrammed phone book data. The light-up indicator will flash quickly to show that you have an incoming call, and it will flash slowly to let you know you have a new message in your voice mailbox (with subscription to a phone company voice mail service). So turn off the ringer, let the kids sleep, and never miss a call.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous, December 30, 2005

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG5439S 5.8 GHz FHSS GigaRange Shock and Splash Resistant Digital Cordless Answering System with Dual Handsets (Office Product)

I've been living with two 2 different Uniden speaker phone models for years since I could not find an acceptable replacement. There may be other phones where you can speak to your party without disconnecting the speaker but I never found one. Also I have been unsuccessful finding a replacement with a long battery life.

The clarity on this Panasonic is perfect. When I speak to my party there is no echo. You can place the phone anywhere in the room and speak to your party. The volume is adjustable therefore I can not understand why some find it a problem. It is so nice to put the phone on your desk and write and talk without putting the phone on your shoulder and ending up with a stiff neck.

The "phone book" is accepable and scrolling is quick. Too bad the list is printed alphabetical. There is no way to change this feature. But this may be fine with some users.

The selection of phone ringer tones is great. There is one that is deafening which is fine for me since it differentiates between other phones in my home and home office.

I find the reception is great with distance not a factor. No noise, no static. Those that experience static must be picking up interference from other sources.

I do not use the answering system feature since there is only 15 minutes of call time and I need much more than that therefore I use a stand-alone unit. I have not tried it therfore I can not report.

This is a value-packed phone and no one should hesitate a purchase.

This phone does a better job getting thru the interference created in the restaurant's kitchen than the unit it replaced (Uniden 5.8). The voice alteration feature is fun for jokes but serves no real purpose. The battery life seems adequate. Unfortunately it does not hold the selection of ring-tones well for some reason and frequently reverts back to the default. (as of yet to determine the cause for this - it is definitely not battery exhaustion tho)

Could also use to have one more level of volume increase - the loudest is not as loud as one would expect.

The speaker-phone works well in a quiet area - much noise around you and it is not loud enough to hear the caller on the other end very well.

I am very impressed with this product. Everything from the ease of setting it up to the color of the set. I get outstanding reception from the unit I use on the lower floor of a trilevel, in the past this was not the case with another older cordless model.
