Does this phone work without having the 3-AAA batteries in it? Will this telephone work with a headset without installing the 3-AAA batteries?

I have not tried to use the phone without batteries. However, looking at the manual, it does seem to imply that the batteries need to be in place to use a headset. The phone itself will work without batteries, but some of the features won't. You can see the entire manual here: http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXTS105B.PDF The phone does not come with an AC adapter, so power outtages will not affect it one way or the other.

The base phone is like all the other phones (they are all interchangeable). It has a jack at the side for a headset. No headset gets plugged into the base unit. Hope this helps.

I have no idea what a vertical phone is unless you mean a regular wall phone. But this headset is made to work with the AT&T brand DECT 6.0 Cordless home phones. I doubt that it would work with any other phones as there is a set-up process you must do to "register" the headset to the base cordless phone before it will work (which is explained in the headset user's guide). I bought both the cordless phones (set of 3) and this headset as a bundle a few years ago from Walmart for about $120. It was well worth it because they work great together and I would never want to be without this cordless headset. I can talk on the phone all day and still get all my work done (inside or outside). Hope this helps.

No headset plug in on the handsets ~ Does have Speaker which is clear sounding ~ I particularly like this phone because, unlike other multi phones, this one programs all the other headsets when anyone of them is programmed ~ I highly recommend it ~

Hello,,I have bought two of these units and your headset plugs into the unit, then you plug the units cord into the phone. The unit boosts the volume pretty well, for the price,,and uses button batteries. I like mine well.

Yes, but it requires batteries for the caller ID display. If you don't install the batteries the phone will work but no display. You also must have the caller ID option from your telephone company.

The battery is only for the caller ID display's operation (and maybe for stored phone numbers). The phone itself doesn't require batteries for operation. I've been using mine since receiving it in February & haven't replaced them yet. It just plugs into your regular phone jack. We've been very pleased with the phone -- especially since it's hard to find a good corded phone these days!

This phone is not a stand alone phone. It has a base phone from which it receives the phone info. If you purchase the base phone, you can order a headset that works with the base phone, just as these hand sets do.

This phone does not even need batteries. By simply plugging it in to the phone jack it's fully functional to make calls. If you want to be able to use the other feature then you must use batteries. I only want to be able to receive and make calls with it so I don't have any batteries in it. Works great!

I don't really know. I don't wear the headset unless I make or receive a call.

It say AAA batteries are required in the description above, and I went out and bought some to have on hand when the phones arrived, but this is an error in the description. I pointed this out to Amazon, and they said I would have to contact VTech to get this corrected, In short, No, no AAA batteries are required.

Hello Helen...good question! This is a headset only. You would need to have the bottom cord and a base for it to work. The partner 18 phones have a special "AUX" jack on the bottom (you may have to remove the stand to see it) where you can plug in a special base and you wouldn't have to lift the receiver off the hook to use the headset. There is a difference between this base and an amplifier. We sell the bases from $30.00 for refurbished. I would happy to put you with a sales person who can help you with this. You can email me at nancyl@comfortel.com or call 800-399-3224 and ask for me. Thank you Nancy

This phone comes with a handset. I think you are referring to a headset. This one works well with the Yealink phone, http://www.amazon.com/Yealink-YEA-YHS32-Headset-Noise-Canceling/dp/B003N3RT2S/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_y

The instruction booklet says: to use only AAA rechargable NiMH batteries. It takes 3 batteries in the handset and three in the base for backup.

I have this phone and have never installed the batteries. I think they only are used for remembering numbers. If you don't care about that, you don't need them. Everything else, including speaker functions works great. This is a simple and reliable speakerphone that sounds great.

Hey, you can't make a call with just the headset. you have to use your phone. I will like to recommended you to buy it tho. It's one of the best I have ever use. I'm being honest with you bro. I never had a problem with it.

The headset works well, I went through a 2 hours talk without trouble.As for the handset, seems like you can't dock and use it on speaker mode at the same time. I tried once, but was in a rush, so didn't really explore to see if I did it wrongly.Normal rechargeable AA batteries is used.
