Walkie-Talkie

The Walkie-Talkie feature allows handsets to communicate with each other outside the range of the base unit. When the handsets are in Walkie-Talkie mode, external calls cannot be received. Only KX-TCA151EXwith 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 handset in Walkie-Talkie mode, we recommend keeping the handset turned off, turning it on only when talking in Walkie-Talkie mode. Turning the handset off immediately after use will improve battery operating time.

Range:

The maximum range between two 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 handsets registered to a common base unit. If the 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 handset is not registered to a base unit, an error tone sounds.

-In Group mode, communication is possible between handsets that are both set to this mode and whose Group IDs are common.

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