The handset is the genuine Panasonic article so paired immediately with my Panasonic 5 handset phones. 6 handsets is the max, so this additional allowed me to have one in the garage, which is very convenient.
Works exactly like the other 5 handsets that originally came with my Panasonic system.
Very happy to have found the model I needed and at a good price. **you should ensure this model is compatible with your unit---and as noted it is not a stand-alone phone. It is an additional handset.
These phones seem to be excellent for connecting to cell phones via bluetooth. Cell phone can be acessed from wherever a remote handset is located. Of course you need a base model too.
