User questions & answers

Question:	does it work with magic jack
Answer:	How do you set # of rings?
Question:	If the caller hangs up rather than leaving a message, does the machine record the silence for a few seconds or not record any of it
Answer:	Our is set to show a flashing # of calls missed, no sound...we don't want to announce that we're not home. I am quite sure it can be set to also give an audible signal when there are missed calls.
Question:	Can I screen calls
Answer:	Yes, but on mine the voice is ridiculously loud. It's much louder during screening than on the recorded message. (Don't put this machine in your bedroom.)
Question:	Do you need an AT&T phone or will it work with any brand
Answer:	No. The machine operates between the phone and the outlet. Plug the unit into the outlet. There's a place to connect the phone line to the unit. The same line you would use to connect to the outlet connects to the unit instead.

User questions & answers

Question:	Call directory? Contacts/Phone number memory
Answer:	This phone has a single or number “range block” block. Either way telemarketers have ten or more numbers they use in random sequence, so if you can see the top and low you can block the last two consecutive numbers like 00-10, or 10-19 or maybe 00-99. This phone is saving my sanity and giving me a chance to sleep.
Question:	does this have speaker phone
Answer:	Yes, you can turn the ringer off on the handset by pressing and holding "0", then turn off the answering machine by pushing the "answer on/off" button on the cradle, then press and hold the volume down button on the cradle till you hear a beep/tone. The phone won't ring, the cradle won't ring, and the answering machine will not answer so you won't get anyone leaving messages.
Question:	Can the ringer be turned off? I want to put this phone in a room where my baby takes her nap and do not want it to ring and wake her up
Answer:	Yes, I got the info from the manufacturer's website, tried it and it works: To turn off Talking Caller ID on the base; Press MENU # * 1 6 2 Press the ▲ or the ▼ button to turn the base Caller ID on or off. Press SAVE To turn off Talking Caller ID on one of the handsets; Press MENU # 1 6 2. Press the ▲ or the ▼ button to turn the handset Caller ID on or off. Press SAVE http://eng-ca.faq.panasonic.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20752

Question:	does this come w a jack 2.5mm so i can use my headset for wireless phone
Answer:	If you are asking if 2 of the handsets from the same phone can be in the call I would say no because there is interference. But I did notice that it does work sometimes with no interference but sometimes there is a loud buzzing when you switch between the handsets. I hope this answers your question

User questions & answers

Question:	Can the landline phone be mounted to the wall and if so, how many inches does it stick out from the wall
Answer:	We have not had an outage since I have owned this, but since it is a land-line phone I assume the phone will work on the old type phone lines, but maybe not the answering unit. (This is why some keep a landline phone for another kind of security.) I am definitely not a techie so double check this.
Question:	Does the base unit have to be plugged in for caller id
Answer:	The remote handset no but has speaker phone. The base has the plug in handset which can be removed so I am assuming a headset jack that can answer and hang up the phone may work
Question:	Does this come with the charger adapter that plugs into an outlet
Answer:	I don't see one on the base or hands-free sets.
Question:	Corded base works during a power failure
Answer:	I can confirm, except for the cordless handset, yes, it does! We don't have reliable power in the deep cold of winter or the hottest times in summer, which is why we always keep a landline. It won't work if your phones company is cable, however. Nor will you see the displays when the electric goes out but, this type of phone is essential for potential emergencies.

User questions & answers

Question:	im looking for a new business phone that does not delete the answering machine greeting message due to power outages/surges. How is this phone
Answer:	Amy - ML17939 will retain saved messages during a power outage. A serious power surge can potentially damage any electronic product, so we can't guarantee that a strong surge won't affect the phone's ability to retain messages, as well as impact other functionality. Thanks!
Question:	does this phone have a voice mail feature

Question:	Can it run with batteries, or does it need power from a wall wart? (not useful as a wall phone if it doesent't use batteries
Answer:	I does not take batteries. I has a small wall wart. However, the basic phone does function without power (you can make and receive calls), but the display and other features require AC power.
