Do all expandable handsets have to be plugged in to a wall jack? I cannot find the actual handsets other than the one model

From what I can tell each extended handset base needs to be plugged in for power but not into a wall jack. I hope that helps.

Yes. Both the base and handset have an AC wall adapter. However, only the handset has a battery (included, rechargeable).

Sorry for the dalay, I was out of town. Yes, it plugs into the wall socket. However the base unit has to be plugged into the phone socket.

Now that you have the base unit including a handset, yes, you can buy additional handsets without buying another base. What you have expandable, so you can buy extra handsets to add to your phone system. You can buy them at http://amazon.com. This not an attempt to advertise for amazon.com; I don't work for them. But I bought my Panasonic cordless phone system from them. Each additional handset comes with its own charger stand, and each handset can easily be added to the base unit.

only the base phone has to be in a telephone jack. The satilites need only be plugged into an electric outlet.

it does not have the wall bracket that your phone company installed. It has the inserts on the base that will fit the standard telephone company wall jack. The extension handets do not have any hooks to attach to wall. They are for standing up on a night table etc.

This phone need to be plugged in to a phone jack. Sometimes we get a power outage and our phones go dead. This is the reason why we got this phone that goes only to a phone jack. Good phone and we like it

I think this was answered above, it is like a regular old fashioned phone, you can add a longer wire to the handset, or a longer wire to the wall.

Yes, you can buy just the handsets and they come with charger as well. Once you get them, just register them to the base unit like the manual tells you. I use mine every day and I purchased 2 additional handsets to with older base unit same model and no issues. I now have 6 units around the house. Works perfect.

Eva,As it's been a while since I installed this phone, I recall it did come with a cord although a short one.If you have a standard wall jack for your phone the cord should reach a table, if close by.As I was replacing an existing phone I just unplugged the cord from the old one and plugged it into the new one.Sorry I could not be more help.

Yeah, the handset is attached by a modular handset cord, it's not like the really old-style phones where the cord was permanently attached. The cord running from the handset to the phone base has the standard 4P4C jacks (also called RJ-9 jacks) for phone handset connection, while the phone connects to the wall jack by (the slightly bigger) RJ-11 connections.

Dr. D. - Your EL51209 is not expandable. Handsets cannot be added. Look at the current edition: EL51203, which has 2 handsets. You can add up to three more; accessory handset model EL50003. Thanks!

IF you mean each phone PLUG into the wall, YES! As far as a Jack, NOT sure what you mean, only IF you mean Earphones Jack, which they do NOT have. BUT, they are Great phones, and even you can BLOCK any calls in the menu section, middle of the phone is where it's located, many features that are very helpful for busines, or home usage.

Only the base requires a phone jack. The extensions only are used for charging.
