Cordless Telephone
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-TCA151AZ with Walkie-Talkie feature can communicate
with one another.
Talk time in this mode is approximately 6 hours and Standby time is approximately 15
hours maximum. (These times will change according to conditions.) When you have
finished using the handset in Walkie-Talkie mode, we recommend turning the handset
off. Turn it on only when Walkie-Talkie mode is required. 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.
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.
Please note, the feature will not operate if AUTO is set in the base unit selection.
