Query: Doesn't cut the mustard

This phone is about ten times backwards from the previous model 1701B. The batteries go out quickly and the range is not even 1/4 of the older model 1701B. I replaced my previous phone(KX-TC1701B with this one because my son drowned it in water, hoping that this one KX-TC1703B would be just as good. NOT!! DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!
