Video phone feature

The handset can be used to make and answer video calls, which allow you and the person you are talking to to see each other in real time.

Important:

LIn order to use this feature on an intercom call, you must have another compatible Panasonic unit (KX-THA12/ KX-THA16/KX-THA17).

LDuring a video call, the call waiting tone is not heard and you cannot answer the 2nd call on the same line.

LOnly 1 person at a time can have a video call with an outside party.

LKX-THA17 only:

By connecting the handset to your TV with the included A/V out cable, you can display video calls on your TV. To connect the handset to your TV with the included A/V out cable, see page 15.

Note:

LIt may take time to connect the video call between you and the other party. When the video connection is completed, “Preparing” disappears from the display and you can start talking with the other party.

LFor privacy, you can set privacy image (page 34) in advance. When a video call starts, the handset sends the privacy image to the other party instead of your live video.

LIf you subscribe to Call Waiting service, the call waiting signal may disrupt the video call. To keep the line quality stable,

you may temporarily disable Call Waiting service before making a call. Please consult your service provider for the code to disable this service.

Compatibility

To have a video call with the other party, the other party must also have a compatible Panasonic unit (KX-THA12/ KX-THA16/KX-THA17) with the base unit (KX-TH102) or ITU-T H.324 compatible device. To maximize the performance capabilities, we highly recommend that both you and the other party have compatible Panasonic units to have a video call.

LDepending on the compatibility of the other party's video phone, both video and voice calls may be disconnected when you press {V-OFF} to switch to a voice call.

Connection quality

The quality of video calls depends on the quality of the connection between your phone and the other party’s phone. If connection quality degrades during a video call and kor lturns red, the unit may change the call to a voice call automatically and the video connection may end.
