Walkie-Talkie

The Walkie-Talkie feature allows cordless handsets to communicate with each other outside the range of the base unit. When the cordless handsets are in Walkie-Talkie mode, external calls cannot be received. Only KX-TCA151AZ and KX-TCA154AZ with Walkie-Talkie feature can communicate with one another.

Talk time in this mode is approximately 6 hours. Standby time in this mode is approximately max. 15 hours. (It changes by the use conditions.) When using the cordless handset in Walkie-Talkie mode, we recommend keeping the cordless handset turned off, turning it on only when talking in Walkie-Talkie mode. Turning the cordless handset off immediately after use will improve battery operating time.

Range:

The maximum range between two cordless handsets while in Walkie-Talkie mode is up to 300 metres outdoors.

Setting the Walkie-Talkie Mode

You can set the Walkie-Talkie mode. There are two types: Common Base Station mode and Group mode. The factory preset is Group mode.

-In Common Base Station mode, communication is possible between cordless handsets registered to a common base unit. If the cordless handsets are registered to more than one base unit, the same base unit must be selected.

Please note, the feature will not operate if AUTO is set in the base unit selection.

If Common Base Station mode is selected and the cordless handset is not registered to a base unit, an error tone sounds.

-In Group mode, communication is possible between cordless handsets that are both set to Walkie-Talkie mode and have the same common Group ID.

This allows cordless handsets to communicate in Walkie-Talkie mode regardless of which base unit they are registered to.
