 The Motorola MD761 5.8 GHz digital cordless phone system offers versatile functionality that includes a digital answering system. Expandable to eight handsets (one included, additional model MD71 accessory handsets sold separately), the MD761 lets you place extensions throughout your home or office, but it requires only one phone jack. Additional features include visual call-waiting and voicemail-waiting indicators, caller ID with a 99-number memory capacity (shared; 50 in the handset, another 49 in the base), handset-to-handset intercom, room monitoring, three-way conferencing, speakerphone, even selectable ring tones.  The Motorola MD761 has an illuminated keypad for easy dialing and a four-line backlit LCD with helpful features such as time and date display and easy-to-navigate icons. Located in the phone's base, the integrated digital answering system offers voice memo recording, message forwarding, and remote message retrieval. The handset comes with a belt clip and is headset compatible (headset not included). The base is wall mountable for versatile placement. A convenient battery meter lets you monitor the handset's standard battery charge. What's in the Box

 Customer Reviews 
Avoid this phone!
Rating: 1
I bought this base unit and three of the individual phones for use in my home. They just don't hold a charge. I can't tell you the frustration you'll feel when the phone rings, and you pick it up directly from the charging base, only to have the call disconnect due to lack of power. It doesn't matter how long its in the charger. Although it's nice to look at, unless the fix the battery, avoid this one.
This phone has no battery life
Rating: 1
Even with a brand new set of batteries, this handset still fully discharges in a few hours even when no calls are made. I have the older Motorola MD61 and it has usually a 3 day life even when making several calls a day. Don't buy the 761
Easy to Use But Unreliable
Rating: 1
We bought this phone two years ago. While the phone is pretty easy to use and has nice features (I've especially enjoyed the handsfree function on the handsets), we've found it to be extremely unreliable. The problems we've had are listed below:
*very short battery life for the handsets
*the screen on one of our handsets blanked out after only several months of use
*the handsets go "out of range" when one takes them only a modest distance from the base (even though we have the base in the middle of our house, the handsets don't work at the ends-- and our house is not that big)
*the handsets randomly become "unregistered" from the base and have to be reset (this has only become a problem in the past month)
The issues we've had with this phone have frustrated us so much that we are now shopping for a new phone-- usually we'd expect such a purchase to last longer than two years.
