Does this automatically connect to an existing base? We have four of these and one extension broke. We want to replace it.

It does automatically connects to the base. I bought one for the same reason.

Yes, it does connect up to your base. Just make sure you have the right model. You can have up to 7 phones connected. They configure to your base very easy. I have added 3 to my base station with no problems.

No, you have to push a button on the base and phone. Very easy to do. I had same problem as you.

Yes, it does. You have to press the handset locator button on the base of the phone that plugs into the wall then it connects automatically.

My base arrived already connected. When looking at mine, it isn't obvious how to reassemble. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Does not come with a base. It is supported by the plumbing. So far the unit is working effortlessly.

Hey, no you would need the base station which then communicates with all expansion devices.

Probably. It connected easy. I am disappointed with the repeatability of the unit though. I would opt for something better.

I am not sure what model of First Alert my old one were and I have since recycled them. My old and new models have the identical quick connect plug. I did not have to do anything but replace the base mounting ring and plug in the new unit.

The base is attached with screws. Yes, if you removed the screws, you are left with a 90 degree plate that is welded to the pole. That is what I did with my current setup. Good luck .

It does come with the base you see in the picture but not the main base. You need the main base for it to work.

It has the standard connection but I repaced it with a quick connect. I have quick connect on all of my attachments.

Yes you can use it in that way. Thats what I did but it only comes with one quick connect so you will have to buy another. Depending on how you use it it's worth the effort to do that and be able to put the extension away when not in use.

We have two of these sets, one in our toddlers room and another in the baby's room right next door. They work without interference, however we have noticed our original set has started occasionally losing connection with the base unit a few times a week (not a big deal but the warning beep is annoying if it happens in the middle of the night). I'm not sure if it is directly related to adding a new base unit or just because the first set is over a year old. They always reconnect on their own in a few minutes though and we never have any problems with static.

If by the "base", you're referring to what is shown in the picture, yes it does. You do need to attach it on top of something relatively heavy (I usea a piece of 2 by 10 wood), but you could use whatever you want (stone, metal, etc.).

I can try it an let you know as I have both. My guess is yes, but it is going to be a balancing act to get it to stay connected in a small base like this.

The one I got had the connector on the bottom. The center twist off the base. Hope this helps.
