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. electricitym
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.
