As has been mentioned elsewhere, the display whilst readable, isn't that clear viewed in the dark when the blue backlight is on. Changing the contrast doesn't help a great deal but is fine under ambient light. The rubberised buttons themselves also light up very brightly.
I bought the quad handset version yesterday for a good price & set up the remaining fully working older Philips Onis handset as a 5th phone - it looses functions such as answerphone access but can make & receive calls including intercom mode to & from the supplied handsets.
The menu structure is generally OK but to stop the red "Event" LED from flashing on the handsets requires too many button presses through the menu for my liking (one option is to also set a bleep to to alert you but I found the LED was fine on its own).
DECT phones have come along way since I purchased my Philips Onis model back in 2000. The audio quality is very good, the entire phonebook can be sent to the other phones but remember to delete all entries from the target phone 1st or you get duplicates! Phonebook entries can be edited unlike my previous Philips & assigned to 1 of 3 groups that can be given 1 of 10 ringtones. Answerphone messages can be accessed from either the base-station or from any supplied handset. Importantly, if power to the base-station is cut, I could retrieve left messages after power was restored. Handsfree mode works well, remote access to left messages works & if the phone rings 4 times & the Philips has been set to "Economy" mode, you know that no messages have been left then hangup without incurring charges. I have held more comfortable handsets but is adequate. Numbers from the caller list can be added to the phonebook that can hold up 100 named entries.
To sum up: only just adequate display readability in the dark but very good sound quality. The incoming call volume was fine & could be adjusted during the call. You need to read the manual for this model!

At first it was fine, we didn't need many functions so as long as it made phone calls it was fine.
Used the speaker function often. Bought it last year i think?
But then, from about a month or two ago, the phones would just suddenly cut off during a call!
We figured it was the batteries, I think they're dying, nowadays you have to leave it on the stand and talk on speaker otherwise it'll cut you off in the middle...
Searching for new phones which will hopefully work this time!

I really feel I have to register my disatisfaction with Philips cordless telephone products having bought 2 in succession and been twice failed by their early poor performance. Both Duo sets died an early death which I don't think can amount to an unfortunate coincidence. In fact the most recent set I bought was very similar to this model but it was the Philips Duo Pack Model CD535 Duo. The only positive thing I can say about this telephone is that it has a presentable neutral design. It has failed me within 18 months but even prior to now the additional handset failed to charge on its separate plug in base in my bedroom. I wondered if I might perhaps have strained the base electrical connection but it was rarely moved and was never subject to beng tugged. I eventually gave up on it and resigned myself to managing with a single telephone base alternating the cordless handsets to keep them charged. Within the last 6 months both models have declined in performance and now cease to operate efficiently. The battery life is greatly reduced but even replacing the rechargable batteries has failed to make any difference. What is completely frustrating is that I can no longer receive calls unless I instantly snatch the phone immediately from the base charger once it rings -if I fail to do so immediately the telephone cuts out and the call is lost. I had other problems with a previous Philips product ( a different model) - also a pair of cordless telephones - but I assumed that its failure was a glitch. Now having twice suffered problems I feel unable to recommend a Philips telephone product to anyone. Neither set was inexpensive - I thought that I was paying for quality. In the future I will be much more atentive to customer reviews. Has anyone else encountered similar problems?
