Can I plug in an audio-jack handset instead of using the speaker-phone?

Unfortunately you can't, but you can always just use your smartphone to take the call - Renny will not interfere with the call if you answer on your phone (unlike any other device on the market, and this is part of our patented technology). Hope this helps!

No you cant, because once you plugin the microphone the phone will automatically detect it as a headphones/earphone.

You can connect it and talk/listen using the headset but you still need the handset to open/close the call. So it is not a "full" solution.

Yes, you just plug it into a standard wall phone jack. This phone never worked right from the start and had all kinds of static and screeching sounds. The company also would not accept a return because I had purchased it as a gift and didnt' give it until a month later. Would not recommend buying this product!

Yes the base allows for speakerphone calls while the handset is charging, but the handsets can not speakerphone from their respective chargers. Unless I am blind which my parents claimed I was when they would send me to my room to find something, there is no handset mic jack nor a base mic jack.

I have the base plugged into a phone jack and an AC electrical outlet, and two other extensions around the house plugged into AC outlets. I don't know about the speaker phone ability on this phone as I have never needed it. I will say that this phone is smarter than I am.

you can not. the phone needs to be plugged in to the power sorce and to the modem as well.however in speaker mode is very efficient

There are adapters which will convert the plug from the headset to a phone. That said, it won't function as surround-sound and whatnot since that feature comes from the audio hardware in the base. You can use it will a phone though to make calls and whatnot.

Not directly, there is only 1 ear phone jack. But you can buy an ear phone splitter cord pretty cheap. That's what we did, worked great. We also used ear phones with a volume control on each cord if separate volume levels are an issue.

Possibly plug into the speaker jack...that's where it plugs in to my phone....but it just dangles.....and they are too short....I bought a telescoping on that works excellent

I've never thought to use it that way, but I just tried it out and it works, because it will amply any sound that comes out of your speaker. You just have to put your phone on "speaker" when your call comes in.

In most models, there is an additional phone jack in the back of the phone for the headset plug. It should NOT replace the handset. It's in addition to it. So, once you plug the headset into the back of the phone, there will be a button on your phone's keyboard that looks like a headset. When you press that, it will enable the use of the "headset". To disconnect the call, just press the "headset" button again. You can switch back and forth between the headset use, speaker phone, and the handset. You'll get used to it very quickly.

The answer to both questions is no. This is a accessory phone to be used with a base phone. It does not have a headset jack, but does have a speakerphone.

You can. But the Bluetooth connection is not always great, while the phone will ring everywhere you have a handset if you answer you may not have a good connection.

You can use the USB plug for Sound/Power, you don't need to use the audio jack. I have mine plugged in to my desktop and I think the sound is really nice. I listen to lectures and music on then and I like that you can control the sound from the right side speaker dial.

The speaker phone function is in the HANDSET. The only audio device in the cradle appears to be some sort of beeper.
