Panasonic cordless phone partially cuts out during conversation. Especially happens when I talk in front of laptop. Away from laptop too. Solution?

This phone has never done that to me, but I suspect it may have something to do with your wifi radio signal coming out of the laptop. My family and I use this phone everyday around laptops and smartphones and have never experienced this problem so I really don't have a solution for you. But than again I also installed the range extender for this phone system right in the center of the house which increases the signal strength, you might want to consider that follow this link Panasonic KX-TGA405B Range Extender for DECT 6.0 Plus Cordless Phone Systems This phone has never done that to me, but I suspect it may have something to do with your wifi radio signal coming out of the laptop.

Mine is right next to my iMac, iPad and MacBook Air and have no issues with it. It's a great phone. I would return it for a new one or send it back to Panasonic. Panasonic would most likely just send you a new one.

I have 4 of the handsets. One right next to my desktop PC one in the basement and the other two scattered around the house (they move!) I have used mine while on mt Toshiba Laptop with no problem either. Can you swap handsets? You must have at least two... See if it follows the handset. Otherwise I say return it as the other responder said

Mine sits in my office near several computers and wifi unit and it started partially cutting out a few months ago. I changed batteries a few days ago and have not experienced the problem since then. Don't know if that is a permanent fix or not.

I too have had the same problem with the headphones cutting out. I bought a pair from Best Buy and was paired it with my Treo700w and my Palm T3 with a third party gateway app. It cut out with both. Later, I bought a bluetooth adapater for my PC and it did the same. I returned the S9 to Best Buy and bought a pair of their Insignia BT headphones. It works with all three devices with no cutting out whatsoever. So I thought I got a defective S9. When I saw the bulk pack here for $50, I bought it. I am having similar problems with cutting out (not as bad) but this pair at least controls the media player (prev, next, pause). The first pair didn't. From my experience with these three pairs of wireless headsets, I would say that the S9 has manufacturing problems. If everyone had the same cutting out problems, I'm sure that we'd see more posts than there are, and this product would certainly not have a 4 star rating. If I am still having problems with this pair, I think I'm going to call Motorola and see about getting a replacement pair. If they say that these problems are normal, I'll be returning them. The Insignia headphones aren't as sleek as these, but at least they work.

After contacting Panasonic and my cable company, I have determined there is no ordinary solution to this problem. Panasonic could fix it with an option for a screen saver during broadcast. I assume a private technician might be able to solve, but that could void any warranty.

I'd suggest you call Customer Service (if you are able to make calls) 1-800-332-5368 or try http://www.panasonic.com/help It could be something with your base phone and a possibility the others are not registered to it, or perhaps answering machine, if you have one on your base phone? Just a thought on these! I did call Customer Service once, and they were very helpful! Also - if you have other phones of a different maker, that could confuse your phones. Someone I knew had their phones all messed up and it was due to a Uniden phone. Once the Uniden was disconnected, other phones worked. I don't see anything in the manual on the base phone in "troubleshooting" relating to this, so perhaps a call is needed??

Funny you mention it. I've read a few people stating so, not many though. I think people are more worried about hearing others, not others hearing them. However, this is the key feature I'm looking for. I'm trying to replace my Panasonic KX-TG2730, which my Dad can't hear me on at all. I thought he was going deaf, until a house guest called me at work from my phone and I realized it's been my phone the whole time. I have numerous other people asking me to speak up too. I would like this phone, it's got excellent reviews, but I'm going to do a little more research first.

I have a different Panasonic, but perhaps pressing the talk button will turn off speakerphone.

I have never experienced this issue. I have had the headset at least 7 months. Are you sure the music is not cutting out due to a text or other notification so you are aware email or SMS has arrived?

Get an extended warranty or another company's phones. My Panasonic KX-TGA651B phones no longer worked without constant connection problems after two years. Had the same problem with my prior Panasonic cordless phones after about two years.

The base does allow a speakerphone call while the handset is charging. However, there is no headset mic that I can locate on either the handsets or the speakerphone/recorder main set. By the way, I am quite pleased with the complete unit. I have five (5) handsets in locations throughout the house and an additional handset with the main speakerphone/recorder. I also have my cell phone hooked to the main unit and receive calls coming from my cell using my handsets. I previously had a Panasonic unit with 5 handsets. The Panasonic set did have several handset problems which required replacing the handsets. Additionally this AT & T set is much clearer and has a much longer range. I can use the handset anyplace in my yard or neighbors yard. I could not do that with the Panasonic system.

Yes! I thought it had to do with my phone service but I guess it's a defect in the phone itself. Very annoying.

Hi Melissa. I'm not sure about your particular issue. ...I had not problem hearing other things and conversation. ...but other people heard their voice echo back to them. ...to such extreme that they would not talk to me unless I disconnect the device

I tested this out via my 2-line system...i.e. I called my 2nd line from the 1st line as well as using the base unit's speaker phone...and we could both talk at the same time w/o any loss of communication. Perhaps communicating with other speakerphone brands the results may be different but via my Panasonic units we have no problem.

Hi, I never saw that problem. Can you answer the call from the phone and use the headset? You only need to quickly tap the multifunction button to answer the call or hang up. Too long can turn it off. If you are doing it correctly and it still turns it off, ask for an exchange before time runs out. Hope this helps.

Husband wears two hearing aids and always removes the one on the side he is using the phone. His fit inside the ear and he says they whistle if they aren't removed. Otherwise, he has NO PROBLEM with our Panasonic phone. Hope this helps!

I have the same phone and the same issue. I turned off voicemail as the "solution". This issue is not due to a limitation with the phone. The issue is with all skype phones. There is no workarounds as far as I can find. I am considering getting an ooma phone instead.

While I haven't used phone frequently in the situation you described, I can advise that I have not had a problem. The one disappointment that I have with this phone is that the cord is not replaceable. I had hoped to use as a wall phone, but cord is much too short. It has been put into service as a desk phone.
