Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Panasonic KX-TGA523M handset is a supplemental accessory for Panasonic's KX-TG5200M-series phone systems (required, sold separately). Operating on the same 5.8 GHz frequency and with the same digital spread spectrum signal technology as the base system, this handset features all the functions you've come to rely on. Caller ID/call waiting-ready, the KX-TGA523M features a three-line backlit LCD to let you see who's calling. It also features talking caller ID to audibly announce the caller's name or number through the handset's speakerphone. A light-up antenna visually alerts you to new calls and messages.

The charger stand thoughtfully houses a built-in AM/FM clock radio, saving valuable space on your nightstand or in other cluttered areas where you need a phone extension. Additional features include an illuminated keypad, headset compatibility, and a variety of ring tones to choose from.

I have to admit, I almost did not get this expansion handset for my panasonic phone set-up. The previous reviewer said that it did not have a backlight for the clock, that is not true. I have it set up next to my bed and the backlight has two intesity levels. So, now I have a great 5.8 gig phone with a nice little clock radio/alarm. I'm happy.

I had no choice but to go 5.8 because the 2.4 phones were causing my wireless internet to drop. And the reason I went with this set is because I switched to vonage and did not want mess with the existing phone wiring. So I bought this phone system with 3 additional handsets. They work great. And the clock is back lit. I don't see brightness settings but the default backlit setting is good enough to make seeing the clock in the dark easy. And the ability to store 5 radio stations and have alarm clock functions is great. I do have one handset not registering though. I am working with Panasonic on that.

This is the best telephone I have ever owned. The reception is great!!!
(And yes it does have a back light on the clock.)
I love the speaker phone, it works great and anyone I have spoken to using the speaker phone feature informs me I sound clear with no breaking up. I also love the different melodies for the ring tones, it has one that has a soft melody so it doesn't scare me from my sleep if someone calls late at night, or early mornings. Not having to run wires to a telephone outlet is another great feature too. Just plug it in your wall and register it to the base unit and your in business. It works great all around the house even the basement.
I very happy with it!!!
