Bought this to add a 4th handset to my KX-TG5633. Initially, after reading the technical specs for the 5633 at the Panasonic website, I wasn't certain that the 560 would work with my system; the Pana website says "Multi Handset Compatability: up to 3 handsets". "Did the 3 include the base handset too," I wondered? Yet the amazon info for the 5633 suggested that it could take 4 handsets. After digging out and consulting the 5633's manual, I was satisfied that I could take a 4th handset and ordered.

After receiving the 560, I was pleased to see the back of its box listed graphically all the systems that it would work with and also numerous ones that it would NOT work with. I've scanned the back of the box and posted it as one of the customer product images. Hopefully this will save you a lot of time in figuring out whether the 560 handset works for you.

Otherwise, it was easy to integrate with the rest of the system. Open box, insert battery, let charge overnight, hit the "register" button on the system base until it says "H4" (handset 4), hit the OK button on the 560 and you're good to go.

We purchased this additional phone to add to our 3 phone 5.8 ghz digital Panasonic answering system/phone system. All 4 phones work great with excellent sound. Speaker phone feature on each handset also is nice. Great improvement over our previous GE system (about 3 years old).

It's a great phone. It has more bells and whisles than a mortal can use, including an anwering machine in every handset. I have three handsets to go with the base unit, which covers my two-story house nicely. A little over a year since I bought them, one of the hand units began to go beep erratically with the function window flashing and running around the features. The battery was on "1" but was not accepting the charge. I switched batteries. The unit did the same crazy song and dance, as if someone was rotating the joystick button. This joystick button seems to be "stuck" electronically. Must be the circuit board. There is nothing by way of support on the Panasonic website. So I am about to replace the unit on Amazon. In twnety years of woning panasonic phones, this is the first time, I've had failure. Stuff happens, as Rumsfeld used to say.

This is a fine addition to the Panasonic KX-TG5672B base unit, but be VERY CAREFUL, this handset is NOT compatible with the Panasonic KX-TG5673B base unit.

Notice the very slight difference in model numbers. Only one digit separates these two Panasonic models, but the result is that this handset will only work with the 2B base model, and not with the 3B base model.

When I received my Panasonic KX-TGA560B 5.8 GHz FHSS GigaRange® Expandable Digital Cordless Handset the instructions listed several base models the phone was compatable with but did not list the KX-TG5673 base I own. The instructions that came with the phone for the base unit KX-TG5672 did work with my base. May be that the phone is not compatable with all the KX-TG5673 base units but it works great with mine. This is the best cordless phone we have ever had. Side note: I am hearing impaired and the phone volume is very adequate or my hearing. Even on the speaker mode for the handset I can hear and understand without my hearing aids.

I returned both a Uniden and a V Tech before I got this phone. The others had way too much interference and static. The Uniden had an extra handset that had to be so close to the base it was worthless.I have four handsets on this phone. Each one works great from the yard to the attic to the basement. The only thing I really look for in a phone is good reception, and that's what I got. I do like the caller ID that shows up on all the handsets. I didn't have this feature with my last phone, and it is handy to not have to run to the base unit to see if you want to pick up!

My main problem with cordless phones is the muddy sound. This phone has great clarity, and I can finally enjoy talking on the phone instead of straining to understand the other party. I like the ability to assign certain ring tones to certain people.

Product works great with my existing phone. I had a 3 handset set and I lost one. I started looking for another and didn't realize how quickly phones are discontinued!!! I found it on Amazon and received it quickly. Works perfect.

The Panasonic cordless phone, model KX-TGA560B 5.8 GHZ FHSS, has proved itself to be a very reliable product. The service from Amazon was excellant. The phone arrived 2 days after placing the order. I would recommend Amazon and this phone.

The unit refused to work. The reciever would not detect the already operating transmitter. The battery would not hold a charge. Unit has been returned for credit. Still have'nt heard from the supplier. Not at all pleased with the transaction.
