The CXAI5698 offers an 5.8GHz extended range for clarity, voice security and brilliant sound, making conversations more pleasant and easier to hear. Additionally, the answering system utilizes microchip technology to ensure clearer recordings and a longer life. And there's no moving parts to attempt to repair or replace! High-Capacity Number Storage The CXAI5698 offers dependable, reliable performance and a host of options for quick and easy calling. First, the system stores up to 50 names and numbers in the caller ID memory for immediate access to the digits you dial most. You can also connect Lines 1 and 2 for a three-way conference call--an especially useful option for small offices or for making long-distance calls to friends and family members. Finally, the CXAI5698 can be mounted either horizontally on a desk or in a hanging position for added convenience. User-Friendly Operation Easy to operate, the CXAI5698 offers trilingual voice prompt guidance in either English, French or Spanish and includes a base keypad with caller ID display, so you'll always know who's calling. The new message LED indicator alerts you via a blinking light when someone has called and left a message, and you can quickly retrieve messages using the cordless handset. The intercom, call transfer and speakerphone at base options are also great for home offices--there's even an option to record calls. Not at home but need to check your messages? No problem. The CXAI5698 conveniently allows you to access your messages from a remote location. Compatability and Personalization Options The CXAI5698 boasts a user-friendly design that allows you to personalize the way you make and receive calls. The system meets all of the requirements for compatibility of inductively coupled hearing aids; additionally, the it allows for an optional headset to be connected for hands-free operation. Straightforward volume controls for both the ringer and the earpiece let you adjust the volume to a comfortable level, and the Do Not Disturb/Ringer Off setting is great for those times when you don't want a ringing phone to interrupt sleep or work. To save time, the last number redial instantly dials the last number called at the touch of just one button. And if you can't find the handset, simply depress the 'Find Handset' locator key and you'll hear a ringing noise that guides you to its location. About Uniden 5.8GHz phones Uniden 5.8GHz phones operate on the higher end of the frequency spectrum, providing greater range and less interference than standard 2.4GHz phones.

Rating:  - * Seemed like a good deal at first ... This model seemed a good value for the money at first. After less than a year, though, it started dropping out on one end or both at the same time, without warning or predictability. Sometimes I can hear the caller, sometimes she can hear me, sometimes neither of us can hear the other. I haven't suffered the problems others mention with the cordless handset, but then I follow a simple rule - keep the charger where you are most likely to keep the handset, and put the handset in the charger when you are not using it! It's that simple. Short battery life is a pain, but short memory is the real culprit here. If you are going to leave the phone lying around anywhere and everywhere, buy another charger to put in the handset's most likely "second home." This is a good rule for all cordless phones, not just this model. However - this model is very disappointing. I've heard the higher-end Unidens, like the DECT2088, are solid. Try one of them instead of this. You'll pay a good deal more, but you won't have to buy another phone in a year. I'll be keeping this for emergencies, but it's going in the storage closet once my new phone arrives. Rating:  - * horrible battery life....chronic uniden problem? ... Second uniden product in 2 months...to be returned...battery life of cordless phone is really bad....lasts about 2 days max...with prob 3hrs usage....my old panasonic cordless would go for a week despite constant use...perhaps panasonic is a more power efficient. So back to panasonic I go.. Rating: - * Never Again ... I wish that I could warn everyone against this product, the manufacturer and the seller. The cordless phone never worked. When I looked in the maual it referred me to an 800 number. When I called the 800 number it referred me to the page in the manual that had the 800 number. When I finally got Uniden support they had no suggestions other than that I return the unit. I contacted the seller (Electronic express) and they offered to pay for the return. I returned the unit. To their credit they sent back another corded and cordless unit but it took them forever. In the meantime the corded unit began to stop functioning every couple of days. Then it would start again. When I got the new units the cordless phonje did not work, just like the first one. And within a few days the corded one began malfunctioning intermittently just like the first one. When I called the seller again it took over ten days for them to get back to me. Just long enough for the product to be ineligble for return and replacement. Smart timing ey? Stay away from Uniden. You can make up your own mind about Electronic Express but I won't buy from them again.Uniden CXAI5698 5.8 GHz Extended Range Corded/Cordless Phone and Answering SystemUniden CXAI5198 5.8 GHz Analog Cordless Phone with Corded Base and Answering System Rating:  - * Long Lasting ... I've owned this model for close to three years and I'm just now replacing the battery for the first time. Both of these phones get plenty of use, and I have been very well satisfied. No static problems in my area, and I call all over the world with these. IF and I do mean IF, they ever go out I will definitely buy again. Rating:  - * Good Phone for the price ... The best choice for the price and all the features. My mother loves it. She loves how big are the dial pad. |
