Product Description

From the Manufacturer

From the Manufacturer At Panasonic, we never stop trying to increase our knowledge of the ways in which technology can improve people's lives. That's why we've engineered our latest line of DECT 6.0 digital telephones with even more innovative features that enhance the way you communicate. Designed to complement your lifestyle and improve the way you live, our 2009 line features big button handsets and larger, clearer displays in sleek, simple packages.

Panasonic DECT 6.0 phones feature big button handsets and larger, clearer displays in sleek, simple packages.

All-digital answering machine ensures messages are saved, even during power outages.

Long Range, Excellent Clarity and Greater Security
DECT 6.0 (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology lets you move freely around your home with long range and amazingly clear sound. It also assures greater protection against eavesdropping for all your calls. Operating in the 1.9GHz frequency range, your phone will not conflict with other wireless devices such as computer routers, wireless keyboards, microwave ovens and other common household devices.

Put a Handset in Every Room
With four handsets (one base and three satellite handsets) and the option of adding two additional handsets¹ — all while using only one base and one phone jack — go ahead and put one in the den, the kitchen, the master bedroom and the living room so you won't have to make a run for it when the phone rings.

Silent Mode Lets You Choose When and Where the Phone Rings
Now you can program each handset to ring — or not — at your discretion. Before going to sleep, simply set the bedside handset to Silent Mode so that it won't ring in your bedroom. In the meantime, the handset in the den will still ring when that important call comes in without disturbing the person who's sleeping.

The Phone That Talks
Now you don't have to be holding the phone to see who's calling. Using text-to-speech technology, the Caller ID² information is announced between rings. The phone also boasts a talking alarm clock that will tell you when it's time for lunch, and a talking battery alert that politely tells you when your battery is low with a "Please charge phone" reminder.

Block Unwanted Calls
Store the Caller ID info of any and all unwanted callers into your phone's Call Block list so that you can eliminate future pesky calls. After the information is stored, those unwanted callers will receive a busy signal when they call you again.

Never Miss a Call with the Light-Up Indicator
Don't miss important calls when the ringer is off. The Light-Up Indicator with Ringer Alert at the base of the antenna 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. So turn off the ringer and never miss a call.

1. Additional handsets sold separately.
2. Requires subscription to name-and-number Caller ID, call waiting and/or voice mail services offered by certain local telephone companies for a fee.

KX-TG6434T includes these additional features:

• Expandable up to six handsets
• Up to four-way conference capability
• Lighted handset keypad
• Speakerphone on handset
• Handset locator

What's in the Box
Four cordless handsets, one base, three chargers, one telephone cord line, four AC adapters, eight batteries, four belt clips, one wall mount kit, and operating instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Call Blocking and more - great phone system., August 12, 2009

By	Robert Speziale "bob_spez" (Howell, NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have had this system for 2 days and I am so pleased with it.

I bought this system to block collection calls aimed at the
previous owner of our recycled verizon phone number. We have
been baraged with these collection calls with no way other than
changing our phone number to stop them. (I found out that the national
do not call registry doesn't apply to bill collectors!) My wife
didn't want to change our phone number due to the hassle of notifying
everyone and no assurance that the new phone number wouldn't also
have the same problem. I have been looking for a way to block
specific phone numbers on our land line verizon phone, and this
is the ONLY way I have found to do that.

This system allows entry of up to 30 phone numbers to block. The
numbers can be keyed in after entering a code on any of the
4 handsets. The number is then blocked on all the handsets and the
answering machine. Or if I get a call from a number I wish to block
I can navigate to the option to block that number with a few key
strokes. (Naturally you need to have caller id service on your phone
for this feature to recognize the incoming phone numer).

To test the call blocking I blocked my cell phone, and when I called
my main number. I got a single ring, a fast busy for a few seconds and
then a disconnect. On the Panasonic phone I just heard a single ring
and then blessed silence. A few times a day we hear the one ring and
know a call is being blocked. We no longer check the caller id list
to know who called and got blocked - it doesn't matter. No answering
the phone or removing crummy collection messages from the answering
machine. It works !!!

In addition to call blocking, other features I really like is the large print
bright black on white lcd display on the handsets, the ability to mute the ring
on selected handsets (like the one in the bedroom). The ability to mute
the ring on the answering machine (also in the bedroom). The ability to use
any of the 4 handsets to check messages, and to record the answering machine
greeting. The ability to answer a call on more than one handset at the same
time (no more hokey transfering of calls from one handset to another).

This system is heads and shoulders above our last system. The Panasonic
Dect 6 technology is a new generation of features. I know I sound like
a commercial, but I am that pleased. If you check my other reviews and you will
see I tell it like I see it, good or bad.

... added 8/17/09 ...

I forgot to mention another good feature, the answering machine turns off
if I pick up the phone while someone is rcording a message... no more trying
to get the answering machine turned off to avoid feedback, while trying to
take the call.

Regarding the text to speech feature which announces the caller's name
from their caller ID, we don't use it. It is primitive and difficult to
understand but if you needed it you could get used to the voice chip
translation of your caller's name. The reason I don't use it is because
I wanted less disturbance from calls and I found the mangled caller
ID announcement a bit jarring.

In regard to call blocking, it has drastically reduced the annoyance of
the harassing calls we were receiving. The blocked numbers have mostly
stopped calling, and when one company called with a different number,
it only took a few seconds to add that number to the blocked list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Upgrade from former Panasonic Dect 6.0 set with a few exceptions, August 24, 2009

By	javajunki "javajunki" - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a very nice set at an exceptional price. The four handset unit is only slightly more expensive compared to a three unit set...but whether you keep one in storage or use in the garage/elsewhere throuhout the house, the cost can't be beat.

I've owned the Panasoni Dect 6.0 3 unit set that was put out a few years ago and have been happy with it...durable, ergonomic and great sound quality. Recently one unit burned out and since spouse is visually impaired, really wanted to try out this set for the voice - caller ID feature.

This set is also very ergonomic, easy to handle. Buttons are distinctive and the audible caller ID is a great addition. I personally find the voice a bit on the mechanical side but it's a lot better than nothing. Spouse loves it and uses it constantly. I turn it off on my office phone so works well for both of us.

Although all of these Panasonic phones seem to work very well with minimal interference from a household filled with televisions, radio, appliances, computers and much more...this set seems more clear than the prior set.

One downside - the talk-time is less. The former set shows 17 hours whereas this is only about half that. On the other hand, this does live up to the full talk time whereas the former set did not.

Purchased an additional headset to use with belt-clip just as did with old set. These have excellent reception and routinely use both inside or outside when doing chores or other routine tasks. Both speech and hearing remains clear at any location in the yard, garage or house making them highly versatile for both a phone or when used for the intercome feature.

Haven't owned long enough to comment on durability but very pleased with upgraded features and expect the same suprior quality on carry-over features.

4.0 out of 5 stars good phone, August 12, 2009

By	Buck from Minnesota - See all my reviews

good product. easy to use. minor complaint (common with competitors also): no indicator of how many messages in cue. Also when a message has been heard one time, there is no reminder that a message exists so my spouse never sees messages if I have accessed them first!

would likely buy again.
