Intercom I have 2 bases and I want to intercom from one to the other. When I try to, it shows ERROR or NO ANSWER. I read the manual and it said that when I try to intercom, the speaker is supposed to come on, but it doesn't.

Owner's manual? I'd try the unplug trick first.

Try pressing the intercom button (base) above the number 1, on the handset the intercom button is below the # button.
Intercom?
Whenever the phone is in standby, you can make an intercom call
between stations without using the phone line.
?
You can make an intercom call from any station, but only two stations
can be in an intercom call at any time.
?
If an outside call comes in during an intercom page, the phone cancels
the page so you can answer the incoming call.
?f an outside call comes in during an intercom page, the phone cancels the page so you can answer the incoming call.
?
If an outside call comes in during an intercom call, press
speaker on the base or talk/flash on the handset to hang up the intercom call and
answer the outside call
see page 15/16 of the manual at the link below.

These directions are for the KX-TG5451, KX-TG5452 and KX-TG5453.

If you want to use the intercom feature, you need to know the handset number for the unit you want to contact. The base is zero. The handset number is set when you register the handsets. So to communicate with the base, press Intercom on the handset followed 0. The base will ring until someone presses Call to answer it (or one minute whichever comes first). (Alternatively, you can use the up/down arrows to select H1, H2, H3 or Base. Then press the right arrow key.)

To communicate between two handsets, press Intercom and then 2 (from handset 1 or 3 to connect with handset 2). Again the handset will ring for one minute or until the person with handset 2 answers. (To answer, they can press the phone, speaker or intercom button.)

If someone at the base wants to use the intercom, they need to press Select until the appropriate handset number is displayed. Then press Call.

To transfer a call, press Intercom and then select the desired handset. When the intercom message is picked up, indicate that a call is being transferred and press Off at the handset or base that initially answered the call.

For a conference call, initiate the call then press Intercom and select the handset to join the conversation. Once that person picks up, then press Conf. (I believe that Conf is a softkey so check the display.) This is only possible with the handset. (Another handset can join the conference by pressing the phone or speaker button on that unit.)

The manual for the KXTG5453 is available here: http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXTG5451S.PDF .

If you have a different model of the Panasonic 5.8 GHz phone, please add a comment with the model number and I'll try to give the directions for that unit.

I hope this helps.

The model number listed is for a single-handset cordless phone, and the manual only shows a "locate" function from the base. It's handy when you misplace the handset, but it's not an intercom feature. You probably have a different model since you ask about calling between handsets. Some systems do provide this ability, but without your actual model number I can't give a definite answer or link to the manual for instructions. Here is VTech's manuals page, where you can find your specific model. The manual will explain how to use the intercom feature if it's available.

If “No link to base. Move closer to base, try again.” is displayed
even when using the handset near the base unit, the handset may have lost communication with the base unit. You need to re-register the handset to the base unit.
• Make sure the base unit is not being used.
• Have both handsets and base unit nearby during registration.
• Follow steps 1–3 listed below. You have about 1 minute to complete them.
• Confirm the extension number of the handset which has lost the communication by placing the handset on the base unit or charger.
If you re-register the handset using the other handset’s extension number, the other handset will not function.
• If the handset beeps 3 times and “Error!!” is displayed, an error occurred. Try again from step 1.
• You can stop registration by pressing [OFF] on the handset, and pressing [LOCATOR/INTERCOM] on the base unit.

1 Base unit: Press and hold [LOCATOR/INTERCOM] until a beep sounds.
• The CHARGE indicator flashes.

2 Base unit: Press the extension number [1] (handset symbol 1 ) or [2] (handset symbol 2) of the
handset which has lost the communication.

3 Handset: Press and hold [FLASH/CALL WAIT] until “Handset Registering” is displayed.
• When registration is complete, a beep sounds from the handset and the display shows the number.
• Wait for 20 seconds after registration is complete while the handset establishes communication with the base unit.


• If the handset beeps 3 times and “Error!!” is displayed, an error occurred. Try again from step 1.
• You can stop registration by pressing [OFF] on the handset, and pressing [LOCATOR/INTERCOM] on the base unit.

I had the same problem before. I found the answer by reading the Appendix C: Base Station Menu Tree in the munual.

If you don’t have the manual, here is the link:
http://ec1.images-amazon.com/media/i3d/01/A/man-migrate/MANUAL000027395.pdf

Go to System Settings/Automatic Line Select/Base Intercom 1-8, select the Manual Line Select. After this setting, when you use the handset to make the call, handset will prompt you to select the line.

If you're trying to get 5 handsets to work with one base, it won't work. The 4215 can only handle 4 handsets, the base handset plus 3.

When I had to replace the base of my 4 handset system, the base handset still worked. Therefore I had an extra handset which couldn't be used. So I decided to buy another base. Now I have 6 handsets which can be grouped 4,2 or 3,3.

make sure each and every phone has its own ID. That solved problems for me for all but one phone.

I can help.
