Additional handset for DS6151
The VTech DS6101 is a DECT 6.0 expansion handset operating on the 1.9 GHz band. It adds a second line to a compatible DS6151 base station and includes caller ID with a 50-entry log. A blue backlit keypad and display make it easy to read in low light. The handset weighs .8 units and comes in silver and black.
Upgrade from single-handset use
This accessory replaces the need to carry the only handset between rooms. The jump is worth it when a household or small office wants simultaneous two-line operation without wiring another base. Intercom and call transfer between handsets let users communicate internally without using an outside line. Buyers who only need one handset total will not benefit from this add-on.
Practical limits of DECT 6.0
DECT 6.0 provides digital clarity and security within its radio range, but walls and interference can reduce effective coverage. The phone directory and caller ID memory each hold 50 entries, so heavy users may need to delete old records. The handset requires the DS6151 base to function and cannot operate as a standalone telephone. It is hearing aid compatible and Energy Star certified.
