unhappy with cordless
-
Wow, what a great price, and so many features. However, everytime I use the cordless, I cringe. The sound is tinny...hurts my ear, no matter how I adjust the volume. I've had a lot of cordless phones over the years, and this one was the worst. The handset was just fine, however.

It is indeed very, very SHARP!

First, I want to address "shadysprings"- I think you were sold a malfunctioning fax machine.Mine works great, in all aspects.I was able to set it up in 5 minutes and send a fax within 10 (you have to program in your information first). I do agree with the other people's suggestions that you read the manual carefully.It is LOADED with FEATURES like a 4 person mailbox.But overall, I am thrilled with my purchase.It faxes, copies, and takes phone messages, and takes up relatively little space.What more can you want?

Great machine, but it gave me a headache
-
I tried this machine out, and liked everything about it except that it is a thermal printer, so it would be expensive to print very much.That accounts for the 4 star instead of 5 star rating.However, the reason it did not work out for me is that it gave me a headache everytime I plugged it in.Apparently I cannot tolerate the wireless signal.I have returned mine and will have to go with a corded system.Most people are probably not sensitive to that, judging by the number of cordless systems available nowadays.

A Sharp Product Indeed
-
I purchased the Sharp UX-CC500 for use as a home telephone/digital answering machine and occasional use for fax/copier.I like the fact that this unit is expandable, and I intend to purchase another cordless handset to give me three phones throughout the house for easy accessibility.There are up to 4 voice mailboxes in addition to the general greeting, so everyone in the house can have their own voicemail.
A neat feature of this unit is the intercom function between the handsets and the base unit which allow you to talk to people in other rooms just by pressing the intercom key and selecting the other phone that you want to ring.You can also program a name to each phone that shows up in the display.
In addition to that, there is a walkie-talkie feature between the handsets which allows you to take the handsets anywhere away from the base unit and they will communicate within 1200 feet of each other.
This 5 in 1 has so many features it is very important to READ the instructions in order to understand how they all work, in fact read them twice.I am extremely please with all functions of Sharp UX-CC500 and feel that it is well worth the money.6/9/2003 12:00 AM | Rating:
