adding a speaker to a cordless phone
 

Hello,
We have this cordless phone we purchased a while
back and some folks complain that if they talk
for a long amount of time, the handset gets a bit warm
and affects their head, etc.

The phone doesn't have a built-in speaker capability.

I was wondering if I could attach a speakerphone to
this phone and then have the others stay a bit away from
the handset. Is this possible?

Also, is there much emf being emitted from cordless units?

let me know if it's possible...

No, not much emf / rf energy to worry about..... a whole lot less than
a cell phone.
No, not very easy to attach a speaker to your cordless handset.
Maybe you should try a different model or brand of phone that runs
cooler so it won't bother "some folks"..... but don't let them hold it
with their hot hands.

Adding a *headset jack* might be relatively trivial; but with cordless
phones so equipped bringing $10-20 on sale at Walgreens, why bother?

Hi jak...

Never thought of that or would have suggested it. Worth checking,
mine already has one (Memorex). Bought a new phone - weird thing that
clips onto your belt and had a headset with it for 3 dollars at a
dollar type store. Threw the phone part away, plugged the headset
into my cordless and works fine. Great for lengthy talks with
grandkids :)

Maybe the op will be lucky and be able to do the same :)

Take care.
