what is the range of the handset from the base and is there any special set up for using the intercom system?

The range of the handset to the base is at least 1/4 mile. We use them at the barn and the base is in the house. No setup for the intercom - just push the button on the handset or base. Same goes for finding a lost handset - which REALLY comes in handy!

intercom works fine, just follow directions. I have one set out in my garage about 40 feet from base and it works great. I down side i found with this set is the volume. i wish i could turn it up more than it will go now.

My range includes my entire back yard and I can also walk across the street to my neighbor's house and sit on her porch and carry on a conversation which is very clear. The intercom system is wonderful and you don't need any additional equipment to make it work because it is built in to the phone system. I love this feature because I can intercom the phone in the kitchen until my partner picks up that phone and I am upstairs. Hope this helps. Teresa

You have the option of silencing just the base, or just the handset, or both. You can select on your own

I had to buy another handset, mine worked. You have to use the locator on the base unit and it will find the extra handsets.

It depends on where you are using the phones. If you need the reception to penetrate many objects like walls, the range is about 150 feet. If you have less obstacles it will go much further at around 300 feet. The walkie talkie feature on this phone has even better range than when on a phone call. This is a great product and I am very happy with it.

You can buy an additional handset at Amazon, they work fine. Distance from main may be over 150 feet. The base is good for two handset and two different numbers.However you can use only one handset at the same time, they also work like an intercom

all I could ever find was for six. Also, it seems that the specs on the handsets are continually being updated and changed. It was hard to find matching handsets. Therefore, I just bout two bases each with six handsets. I plug in both bases and connect both to the single phone line. On one, I turn off the answer feature. All of the handsets work.

The base station is in my office, the office is concrete block. The warehouse is metal and adjacent to the office. The reception starts to fade toward the back of the warehouse which is 160'. However walking outside the warehouse reception is bad unless you are near a door. NO COMPLAINTS about this system. handsets get abused and they are about 3 yrs old still working!

Yes you can answer from the base. Yes the bluetooth works but difficult to set up. Yes it comes with instruction. One of my remote bases never worked. All phone ring

About 60 feet from my apartment. I called myself at the intercom / entrance gate of my apartment house with this handset in hand, the signal reached, the phone rang. The signal may go farther or may not go that far in some cases.

There is a SPEAKER function on the base unit and all of the handsets. The answering device can also be controlled from all the handsets including the base unit.

Yes, the range is 700 feet. The ringer can be turned off and adjusted. The phone amplifies incoming sounds up to 30 decibels. It is also hearing aid compatible.

Idk the approximate range but it works very well in and outside of my home. My house is about 1300sq ft on a 1/2 acre. I use the phones outside sometimes while in my backyard and its still crystal clear. Hope this helps!

If you are referring to a phone set that is within the system, the answer is "yes". For example, I answer the phone, but the call is for my husband who is busy in his office. I can put the call on hold, use the intercom to ask if he wants to talk to the person calling, and then go from there. Or, by pressing the intercom button, if you have several handsets, scroll the up/down arrows to select a destination and then press the "select" key.

The manual says 10 feet...but we've had our cell phone further than that. Generally Bluetooth range is 30'. Just leave your cell phone within range of the base unit. The base has lights indicating whether BT is connected - yellow for not, green for connected. Keep an eye on those lights, today the base light was yellow with the cell in range - somehow the BT was turned off on the Cell. Turned it on and the phones reconnected.

Yes, there are intercom capabilities. This is a great phone. I suggest this purchase. I bought my phone two years ago and not one complaint so far.

Ours works up to at least 50 feet, but the range will depend a lot on what is in between (walls, concrete metal etc) the hand set and the base station.
