The KX-TG2216FV's stylish, splash- and shock-resistant cordless handset gives you the freedom to use the phone while engaged in most household activities. The phone's 2.4 GHz frequency-hopping spread-spectrum (FHSS) technology randomly changes frequencies several times per second, which helps eliminate crosstalk and accidental eavesdropping when multiple household handsets are in use. Maintenance is minimal: the supplied rechargeable NiMH battery provides up to five hours of talk time and lasts for 11 days on standby. With call waiting/caller ID and 30-station memory, the LCD shows the name and number of incoming callers even when you're on another call. (Call waiting requires a subscription to a fee-based phone-company service.) The phone even includes an FSK- and stutter-compatible message-waiting indicator. If you subscribe to a voicemail service, a light on the phone will illuminate when you have new messages.
Panasonic's Voice Enhancer technology "helps clarify and improve sound reception creating a natural-sounding voice that is easy to hear and understand. The Panasonic Voice Enhancer Technology is able to simulate a band signal above and below the normal bandwidth limitations, achieving a sound which is close to the actual voice."
The three-line, multifunction LCD lets you see all caller ID information without scrolling. Also, back lighting on the handset LCD aids visibility in low light situations. A digital handset speakerphone helps reduce the echo and dropout commonly found in speakerphones. Up to 30 names and telephone numbers can be stored alphabetically and quickly accessed for dialing via the handset's navigator key.
Six selectable ring tones let you choose from a variety of alerts for incoming calls, and a low-battery indicator on the LCD lets you know when its time to recharge the battery.
