Core Features & Functionality

  • Dual Communication Modes: Base & Handset

With the C42, you can take or place calls using the corded base or the cordless handset as you prefer. If you step away, the cordless unit keeps you connected within range.

  • Hands-Free Speakerphone Anywhere

Both the base and the handset support speakerphone mode. You can speak freely in calls without holding the device, making multitasking or group conversations effortless.

  • Bright Displays & Backlit Keypads

Both units feature clear, backlit displays that show caller ID, call lists, menu prompts, and more—ensuring visibility in low-light conditions. The keypad also lights up for easy dialing.

  • Digital Answering Machine

Never miss a message—C42 includes a built-in digital answering system that records incoming messages when you’re unavailable. You can manage messages from either the base or the handset, and even remotely when needed.

  • Call Blocking & Privacy Control

Control who calls you. Add up to 100 numbers to your block list to prevent unwanted calls from coming through. Anonymous callers can also be automatically filtered out.

  • Internal Communication & Call Transfer

Use the handset and base as an internal intercom. Transfer active calls between them or between registered handsets. The system also supports 3-way conferencing: two internal lines plus one external caller.

  • Integrated Phonebook & Call Records

Store up to 100 names and numbers in the shared phonebook, accessible from both the base and handset. A calls list keeps track of up to 20 numbers with date/time stamps. You can directly save from the call records into the phonebook.

  • Multi-Handset Support

You’re not limited to just one handset. You can register up to four cordless handsets to your C42 base — perfect for multi-room operation across your home or office. Each can have its own name or tone.

  • Eco Mode & Intelligent Charging

Energy-saving features automatically reduce power usage when idle, while intelligent charging helps preserve battery health over time.

How to Set Up & Use

  • Unbox & Position
    Place your base unit near the telephone jack and a power outlet. Position it where the base-to-handset connectivity will be strongest.

  • Connect Cords & Power
    Plug in the telephone line to the base. Then connect power adapters to both base and handset charger (if separate). Be sure not to power the handset before it’s fully charged.

  • Charge the Handset
    Insert the supplied rechargeable batteries into the handset, and place it into its charger until fully charged — typically several hours for initial conditioning.

  • Sync Base & Handset
    Once powered, the handset and base will register to one another automatically. If adding more handsets, use the base’s registration menu.

  • Customize Settings
    Use the menus on base and handset to set date/time, phonebook entries, ringtone, block list, recall time, and other options.

  • Use Intercom and Transfer
    From base or handset, make internal calls or transfer active calls easily through the intercom feature. You can also engage 3-way calls.

  • Manage Messages
    Play, delete, or record your outgoing greeting via either unit. You can remotely access the answering machine through a PIN when away.
