Description:
The GE 26970GE2 cordless headset telephone is ideal for multitaskers. The built-in headset allows you to use this phone outside, at your computer, or anywhere around the house. It combines hands-free convenience with the benefits of a full-feature desk telephone, such as call waiting, memory dialing, and more.The headset telephone is compact and sturdy. It has an intuitive keypad and rubberized buttons that are comfortable to the touch. The three-line LCD is easy to read. The earpiece is somewhat limited in fit, but with its cushioned earpad and adjustable microphone, the headset still felt comfortable. An additional battery charge slot in the base allows you to keep the included backup battery fully charged. The headset telephone's caller ID feature stores up to 40 calls and is activated using the flash button. A new-call indicator lets you know which calls have not been previously reviewed in the caller ID log. To scroll through the call records, press the arrow buttons either up or down. The delete button allows you to conveniently erase any message in one easy step. You can also save numbers from the log and reformat them using the format button. You can store up to 10 numbers in memory dialing. The steps to program the numbers were intuitive and efficient, using the memory button to store and dial the numbers. There is also a pullout directory on the base for looking up saved numbers at a glance. In our tests of the GE 26970GE2, we were able to take the phone about 100 feet from the base before hearing static and interference. At about 250 feet the static became bothersome. Voice transmission was clear and sensitive, with the headset picking up sounds such as breathing, which we found slightly annoying. We were able to take the phone behind walls and near other electronic equipment with minimal interference. The channel button helped find the best connection. The headset telephone's other features include mute and redial buttons, battery-low and out-of-range warnings and an adjustable ringer. With an intuitive keypad and easy-to-read LCD, we appreciated the user-friendly features of this phone and the caller ID system. --Emily Bakko Pros: - Hands-free cordless calling
