Cordless DECT 6.0 Stainless-Steel-Finish Handset for use with GE 27909 Series TelephonesHad a little problem understanding install specs. But once under stood it was real easy to connect. Every unit (bought 3 units)works very well.
While I have no complaints with the primary handset/base-station, this secondary handset/base-station is very flawed. The catch between the base and handset is designed in such a way that the angle at which you mount the handset to the base has to be perfect or the handset will not catch onto the base and will fall down. Compounding the problem is the fact that the base is a light flimsy piece of plastic that, if not secured to a wall, will likely be just pushed around on the table surface when attempting to mount the handset. It is extremely frustrating to say the least.
The procedures were always the same, the only thing I figured out that made the difference was that you have to hold the phone very close to the base station and do not get your hand in between them. This has to be the hardest electronics setup I every went through. Only purchased because it compliments the main phone. Works well after you get it set up. Don't bother with help from GE, they contracted it out to the Philippines and the guy was only reading the same instructions I had. I went through programming this phone 10 times before I finally got it right. Battery goes in before you plug it in the AC adaptor. Pulling battery and reinstall is needed to reset.
Too hard to get the handset to land in the stand correctly. Stand sucks.
Two issues:1). Initiating the phone to communicate with the base is difficult.
Phone works fine, and looks good. but it works.2).
Follow the directions at the GE website to reset the base. Involves unplugging the base, removing the batteries, etc.
Too tippy. If you're patient, it all works eventually.Bill JenkoKemah, TX
A little tricky to register the phones, but using the suggestions in other reviews, you can eventually do it. Answering machine has clearer voice (better speaker) than some. Remote dial-up access to messages is spotty.
