   Walkie-Talkie
The Walkie-Talkie feature allows cordless handsets to communicate with each 
other outside the range of the base unit. When the cordless handsets are in 
Walkie-Talkie mode, external calls cannot be received. Only KX-TCA151E and 
KX-TCA154E with Walkie-Talkie feature can communicate with one another.
Range: 
The maximum range between two cordless handsets while in Walkie-Talkie mode 
is up to 300 metres outdoors.
Setting the Walkie-Talkie Mode 
You can set the Walkie-Talkie mode. There are two types: Common Base Station mode 
and Group mode. The factory preset is Group mode.
- In Common Base Station mode, communication is possible between cordless 
handsets registered to a common base unit. If the cordless handsets are registered 
to more than one base unit, the same base unit must be selected. 
If Common Base Station mode is selected and the cordless handset is not registered 
to a base unit, an error tone sounds.
- In Group mode, communication is possible between cordless handsets that are both 
set to Walkie-Talkie mode and have the same common Group ID. 
This allows cordless handsets to communicate in Walkie-Talkie mode regardless of 
which base unit they are registered to.
Talk time in this mode is approximately 6 hours. Standby time in this mode is 
approximately max. 15 hours. (It changes by the use conditions.) When using the 
cordless handset in Walkie-Talkie mode, we recommend keeping the cordless 
handset turned off, turning it on only when talking in Walkie-Talkie mode. Turning the 
cordless handset off immediately after use will improve battery operating time.
Please note, the feature will not operate if AUTO is set in the base unit selection.
