Can this expansion handset be used at the same time another expansion handset is being used when only 5-10 feet from each other?

Sure. That was what I did at my parents' home so each could have a phone within easy reach.

I would like to say yes, but we have misplaced one of our two (with young children) and one or both is usually not charged to test (our fault). If I can find it, I will let you know .. but please don't wait to ask someone else more timely / helpful. :( .. :)

Yes, it appears you can only use 2 handsets at a time and the third must remain in the base unit. See pg 20 in the Operating Instructions.

I believe you can. I use 2 in my home as an inexpensive intercom alert system---you have to set the chimes at different numbers so they do not ring sat the same time. Range is pretty good but much shorter if you are going through a lot of walls or stone---about 100 feet if you are not

Hello Joey Thank you for your inquiry, yes you can use multiple NAVS500 in the same area. Please note that we recommend keeping the transmitters 6 feet apart from one another to avoid interference.

I don't think that should be a problem. I've attached multiple devices (e.g., PC, fax, phone, etc.) to one phone line. The only catch might be that if there is a power loss or low temperature then both might be effected and will try and call out at the same time.

I ordered this base with (1) additional phone. Needing more phones I ordered (2) more and these connected to the base with no problem. I do think that the limit is 1 base and (3) extensions. Hoping that this answers your question.

I tested this out via my 2-line system...i.e. I called my 2nd line from the 1st line as well as using the base unit's speaker phone...and we could both talk at the same time w/o any loss of communication. Perhaps communicating with other speakerphone brands the results may be different but via my Panasonic units we have no problem.

Yes. You can answer an incoming call with either handset, and can, in fact, talk from both handsets simultaneously creating a conference call.

I perched 2 sets so I could have 1 push button activate 2 receivers at the same time. Apparently, my sets have 2 different frequencies. I believe the manufacture randomly sets the doorbells to have different frequencies. I was unlucky with my order and you by chance did not receive what you wanted. I suggest you return one set and ask for a replacement. The chance of you receiving a matching frequency is very unlikely.

No, picking up a second handset just joins you with the current call. You would need multiple lines to accomplish that, as a business might have

I havent tried it yet but I do believe you can call more than one.If you press the intercom button it will ask you all? or which handset if only one.I checked my phone and that is the way it is preprogrammed

Yes, you can buy another set with main unit included, or just the handset. I have done both and it works fine either way. It's still cheaper to buy just the handset. In either case, you need to register the extra handset to the same main unit, so intercom calls would also work. If having two main units, you lose the intercom function and each main unit would take up an extra ethernet outlet from your wireless router.

This is in response to "Can I use 2 of these on the same base?" On page 3 of the instruction booklet the bottom sentence reads. " Up to 2 range extenders can be registered to the same base unit." Hope this helps.

Sort of. You could setup a shared line appearance and they'd both ring at the same time. A lot of this depends on which VOIP system you're using, as this would be a feature of the system.

Why do you want to use the handset next to the base? Maybe the proximity of the the two is the source of your problem. I own two of these systems, and use the handsets in rooms adjoining the bases. In both cases the handset works perfectly. Check to make sure the handset is fully charged.

To the best of my knowledge, no. I purchased this to use two phones on one line.

Yes, you can. We actually have a total of 5 handheld phones on the system. You have to MAKE SURE you get handsets that are compatible with your base unit - not all models work. Each handset is given a number when you set them up and because of this, you can use the intercom to call all units, or just specific ones. My husband's home office has the #5 unit so when I want him I page only his handset. I know there is a limit as to how many additional handsets you can add, but I'm not sure what it is. If it's wasn't for the Blutooth headset issue, I'd give it a 5 star rating.
