Product Description

Manufacturer Description

The Panasonic KX-TG4500B is a 5.8 GHz 4-line expandable cordless phone system. Our 5.8 GHz Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum technology 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.

Up to four lines and up to eight handsets with just one phone jack
Give your small business the advanced features of a business telephone system without the expensive wiring and installation. Simply hook up the base unit to your phone lines and plug it into an AC outlet. Then set up the optional, expandable cordless handsets in the desired locations. You don't need a phone jack for each additional handset -- just plug them into an AC outlet. Capable of handling up to four lines and up to eight cordless handsets, this system will keep your small business connected.

All-digital voice mail system
This phone system is equipped with an all-digital voice mail system for quick, easy retrieval of crystal-clear messages. Message operation has never been easier, with up to 100 minutes of recording time and up to eight mailboxes, 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.

If the power fails, don't worry -- you can still finish your call
The KX-TG4500B is unlike most other cordless phone systems when the power fails. The base unit will transmit calls during a power (AC) outage for a limited time. Most cordless phones will not work at all without power.

See who's calling, even if you're already on the phone
We've all become accustomed to Caller ID and its ability to let us see who's calling before we answer the phone. Then there's call waiting, a beep letting us know there's another call coming in. But until now, you wouldn't know who was beeping in unless you answered it. With Call Waiting Caller ID you get the best of both worlds. Now when you get a beep, you can see who's calling before you answer. But we'll leave that decision up to you!

Features include:

• 5.8 GHz cordless phone system
• Digital FHSS technology
• 4-line operation
• Caller ID/Call Waiting
• 100-minute digital answering system
• Up to 8 individual voice mailboxes with separate greeting messages

4.0 out of 5 stars No Competition if You Need It, November 24, 2006

By	Dave "Dave" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I have had the previous generation of this phone for 5 years and have just replaced it.

Pros:
1) If you need 4 lines, this is the only game in town. They used to make a 2 line one, but no longer.
2) There is a headset jack on the base unit, which is very rare, and which is the reason I was willing to pay for this unit. And you can switch among headset, handest and speaker phone with no switching noise - very unusual.
3) Excellent sound, and it's perfectly quiet going from one line to another - no transition noise.
4) Unlike some, there is no cross-talk between the 2 lines. If you have one person on hold and are talking to another, the first party won't hear the other conversation.
5) Obvious quality build.
6) Battery backup good for a while.

Cons:
1) Cordless range only so-so for a high-end unit.
2) BIG CON: The number pads on the cordless units are somewhat delicate and after a couple of years start being a bit harder to press or stop responding at all. The authorized repair place I used said that this isn't uncommon with these phones. Repair (including shipping) was going to be enough that I just bought a new/extra cordless unit to use with it.

There are 2 new features, the ablility to MUTE a call and the ability to record a call. The lack of a MUTE button on the base unit of the previous generation was strange in a unit of this type.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much improved over the TG4000, November 28, 2006

By	Lance Hirsch (Bergheim, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have had this phone for about a month and I can't find anything to complain about. It addresses all of the problems of the previous model including:
More volume settings
Music on hold (provided or your own)
Mute
More ringers (7)
You can join a call in progress
Headsets can be named
Call Waiting ID
Indefinite hold (doesn't send to voicemail right away)
The ringer can be muted.
You can record a phone call.

I have not used the attendant. The range is fine for me and there is no interference with WiFI A/B, microwave, or other radio devices.

So far, so good. I reccomend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent System, March 29, 2007

By	T. Norris - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We used a previous version of this system for years. This much improved system handles even the tiny wishes we had from the old system. Music on hold, speaker phones, great range, etc. I actually bought multiple systems and tried them in my offices. I returned them all except the Panasonic.
