do you have to connect the in coming phone line or can you just hookup the out going line so it can call out? I don't plan to call it.

Not unless you plan on connecting a landline phone to make outgoing calls using that port. But when you hook it up to a phone line, you already can call in to it (you would have to set the number of rings before it answers on initial setup) also, the phone line from the wall connects to the "out line". If connecting a telephone or answering machine using the same outlet, you connect that to the "phone" port. (That messed me up when I was setting mine up, but that was the only problem I had)

You do not need it connected. It will sound the audible alarm in the house. The cell service is only required if you want the dispatch center to notify your local PD.

No. The machine operates between the phone and the outlet. Plug the unit into the outlet. There's a place to connect the phone line to the unit. The same line you would use to connect to the outlet connects to the unit instead.

Yes. You can do 'in line' connection. Connect the line to SENTRY, then connect SENTRY to phone. The downside is your phone will not show the caller id info.

It,s a little unclear what you are askng but maybe this will hyelp...I use vonage. I have the panasonic VM on and if i am NOT on phone and do not pick upo, it goes to the panasonic VM.If I have it turned off, and do not pick up, it goes to my Vonage VM.If I am on the phone, regardless of whet6her it is on or off, it goes to vonage and the message is left there. And I DO gave call waiting. Call waiting gives you the opportunity to pick up if you want. If I dont, it goes to Vonage

No, it has to have an analog line. The most calls you can join at once is 2.

Plug your phone line from the wall to it. Then run a line from the ringer to the phone. Very easy.

When the phone is answered, it maintains connection with that caller. Of course you can't dial out until you deactivate the alarm. Be aware that if the alarm is dialing, you also can't call out. We keep a cell phone handy at night in case the alarm is triggered. That way we can make a call even if the alarm is active.

You had to have Caller ID with your service provider and costs will vary. Other than that there isn't a charge to use it, just plug it into the phone line and let it do it's thing. Everything works as advertised.

You need a land line. It take a regular RJ9 line. It will dial a cell phone via the land line.

No, you don't have to. That's optional. I'm currently using it without cell service.

No, just plug it into the phone jack. The phone works fine (both lines), just the ring sound is obnoxiously loud -even for a lab in a dental office. Also, doesn't always hang up fully- it's mounted on the wall. We keep the ringer off on this phone.

No. This is an expansion handset that can only operate wirelessly with signals from a base unit. There is no direct phone line connection.

Yes, you connect it to your landline and it does require an outlet for the base unit. This is a elegant cordless phone, not "crap" like another reviewer said. If you like the clean styling that Apple products have, you might really like it. However, its features may or may not suit everyone. I like it, although its range is not quite what I expected.

It does need a dedicated phone line. The way around it is to use one of those little splitters. Plug it into your phone jack, then use one for the phone line, another one for the faxes. Or you can install an extra phone jack next to the existing one (if you know how).

If you want it to dial it you need a land line.but you can install it without the land line

Their are many direct access numbers that take you to the sub menu choices. They all start with #. Look in the manual for details.Can you explain how the phone will work in a power outage? Does it draw power from the phone line? Also, what will happen to the stored greeting & messages if power goes out? I don't want to test it as setup took a while & don't want to rerecord message.Thanks
