Siemens GIGASET C385 is specifically designed to be reduced in power demand which translates to reduced radiation. It goes into standby mode when not in use whether docked or not and that happens after 30 seconds then then is no radiation from the phone or dock, and it also reduces the radiation by the distance to the dock.

Answered my own question - I spoke to Panasonic. They say the KX-TG1062M does not broadcast when not being used, so yes it's low-rad.

I have the 1061 model of this phone and my RF meter we used to test the phone was off the charts. It looks exactly like the 1062. I'm getting rid of it.

The panasonic guy I spoke to said all continuously broadcast, so one of the folks at panasonic doesn't know what he/she is talking about

Regardless of what vehicle it's in or if it's running packs in parallel or series I've always stopped at 3.6v/cell when the pack is at rest. You could possibly go lower and still be safe, however I noticed that my packs lasted a lot longer stopping at 3.6v/cell. Also I found these alarms to be rather quiet. Just a heads up. Enjoy &#128522;

Hi Sarah, When you set up the phone, it will ask you if you want to connect to a lesser network because it uses less power in that mode. I am in Hungary using 2G now and the phone seems to be working just fine.

I purchased 2 unlocked Novatel 2372 units for use throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Both units initially had the same problem...the battery became extremely hot, causing one of the units to "cook" and "die". The second unit functions quite well however, I use it without the battery plugged into either AC or 12VDC. you should know, as I found out, that the units are older units out of warranty that have been unlocked. When I contacted Novatel I was advised that: 1. They do not manufacture and/or sell "unlocked hot spots" each model is manufactured for a specific client telcom company. They do provide unlock codes to those companies and thus this is hoow they become unlocked. 2. They said that most likely the battery was "old" and had been "uncharged" for too long a period as therfore they caused the overheating problem. Operation of the remianing unit, with the battery removed, has been flawless for several months on multiple phone company digital SIM cards, so if non-battery operation is acceptable it would be fine. Note: I have attempted to purchase a new battery in several places in my travels, however have been unable to find one in my remote travels. I would purchase a fresh battery in the U.S. before departing.

On my 1575, I noticed that the wattage doesn't show unless you put a heavy load on it. I think that maybe normal with this unit. I also noticed that the output voltage is low unless you put a heavy load on it. Output starts at 86 volts with no load and goes to 124 volts with 1000 watts load. The voltage was in the 90's with anything less than 250 watts. Anyone else experience this? The biggest problem for me is the low voltage alarm which kicks in at 11.6 volts... way too soon. The manual states 10.5v which would be more reasonable. I called Cobra this morning and they were really no help. The tech guy lazily said 11.5v alarm was normal. He didn't have much response when I told him the manual states 10.5v. After a long pause, I said "so the manual is wrong?"... he said "yes". Oh well, I'm returning mine.. and based on the tech guys response, I'm afraid to try another one.

Yes, it measures EMF from anything. If I set the meter to EMF and then put it down next to my cell phone (an Android), I see the meter increase as the meter gets closer to the phone. I also see the meter spike off the chart from time to time as the phone emits bursts of power for this and that. That's true for most anything that uses electricity, including other screen-based devices (monitors, etc.). The contradicting answers that you are seeing are probably because there are different types of waves to measure and different phones have different emissions; this device measures micro/radio waves and EMF. This device did measure micro/radio waves for my phone when I tried it, but I don't know if it's measuring the full emissions of the phone because the level registered when I did a test was very small (I put the meter down next to my phone and dialed another phone and stayed connected for a while). However, I haven't seen any consensus among scientific studies that those types of cell emissions are dangerous, whereas-though there is still some debate-some studies agree that high levels of EMF (around or above 4 milligauss/.4 microteslas) increase the risk of certain childhood cancers.

I just called JNH directly and asked for the EMF rating. Joyce was the ladies name I spoke to. She states that the EMF rating is 2-4mG when the sensor is 4" away! Really high. Comparably, the Rocky Mountain saunas are 0.6mG when less than one inch away. The Sunlighten is rated at 0.03mG when one inch away,FYI

If I am not mistaken, phone KX-TG7872 uses rechargeable batteries HHR-4DPA (you can check your user manual to verify this information). HHR-4DPA are also NiMH chemistry rechargeable batteries and the size group is the same (AAA). Therefore, the phone KX-TG7872 must be able to use the batteries featured at Panasonic NiMH AAA Rechargeable Battery for Cordless Phones x six 6 aaa 700 mah 1.2v batteries

I stand corrected, but this is somewhat of a misprint. There is a specific U.S. version that operates on only the 850\1900 WCDMA bands. The Euro model operates on 900\2100 or on 900\1800\2100, not sure about that. There has been some confustion with Nokia's specs of late, as they seem to be cut and pasted from the N97. The N97 mini is stated as having an FM transmitter, and it does not. The N97 does.

I think it would depend on who is selling it. And this model looks so old (approx 7 years?) that it might have needed to be linked to the tmo servers. When we had sidekicks and the tmo servers werre unplugged permanently, the phones did not work right. But i have heard that some people have been able to get the phones to work on other networks. Not sure why anyone would want to do that right now...I got a cheaper phone, month to month, with a better screen and a keyboard- for about the same price. new.

It is working very well with Panasonic KX-TG6645B DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone with Answering System, Black, 5 Handsets. I think that you should check to know whether the model you have works with 5.5volts. In other words you have to work with finding the appropriate voltage not models.

The KX-TG6533 says it has a speed dial...10 number speed dial but I have yet to find it.I just bought it and I can not see where you program any speed dial numbers?LOve the phone but I got it because I like having speed dial. So may go back tomorrow.

I am trying to understand this product compared to magicjack, forgive stupid questions. Why can't a traditional phone be plugged into this to use a google voice number making magic jack necessary?

I am pretty sure that cell phones operate on microwaves. These detectors are looking for the simplest form of radio waves. The cell phone signals are also scrambled.. I am not sure if that would change anything.

I live in the mountains of Tennessee and we have a lot of power outages, especially during storms. Some brief, some extended. We've had no extended outages since I got these 2 phones, but I've had no problems with the phones working so far in the months I've had them.

I have a Panasonic KX-TG4031 Phone that is DECT 6.0 PLUS, and this headset works great! I don't see any reason why this wouldn't work on that phone as well? Hope this helps!
