►Don't remove the SD card when power is on.◄
►When you turn on your system for the first time, you must initialize it.◄
(1) While you are making programming changes with the software, it's important to save
your changes to the SD card in the phone system.
(2) If the alarm light comes on, don't assume there has been major damage. The light
can be triggered by something as simple as unplugging a KX-T0141 cell station.
(3) Unlike the KX-TD systems, there are no default artificial extension numbers for the
voice processor ports connected to a KX-TAW848. We recommend that you use 165 for
the first one. In the 848, this is called a floating extension number.
(4) There are many lapses of logic, and inconsistencies and bad English in the manuals
and programming software. It drives us nuts. Maybe you won't care.
(5) Phones can have intercom numbers (extension numbers) ranging from 100 to 600.
By default, the first 24 phones are numbered 101 through 124, but can be changed.
(6) When you turn on your system for the first time, you must initialize it with the System
Initialize Switch and Reset Button on the cabinet. Instructions for this procedure start on
page 98 of the installation manual. If you install any optional circuit modules after
initializing, you don't have to initialize the system again. The system will automatically
recognize the new additions.
(7) In order to use the "maintenance console" software to program your 848, you will
probably have to load its USB driver. Drivers are included for Windows 98, 2000 and XP.
(8) You can plug-in a source of music- or message-on-hold, or select from two types of
synthesized built-in on-hold tunes, or a periodic "beep-beep" tone. Here's how to change
the setting:
(9) Unlike other Panasonic systems, it's hard to accidentally turn on background music.
Press Intercom, then *7511 to turn it on, or *7510 to turn it off.
(10) The system is very smart. It knows what circuit modules you've installed. For
example, you can't program door intercom ringing, if you have not installed a door
intercom circuit board.
(11) If you're having trouble saving your program settings while using a PC, make sure
you're not in BATCH mode, instead of INTERACTIVE. Look at the bottom-left of the
screen. If you're in batch, exit the program, and re-connect to the phone system.
(12) The manuals have tiny type that may be hard for your to read. Much (maybe all) of
the material in the Installation Manual is also viewable on your PC, with larger type and
diagrams, by selecting HELP from the top of the "maintenance console" software. You
can download a full-size User Manual and print it. CLICK
(13) The digit sequence for making an announcement to all phones is different from
earlier Panasonic systems. Press *3301.
(14) Unlike earlier systems, if you are using a phone with a single-line display, you can't
toggle between Caller ID name and number. This may be fixed in a future software
upgrade.
(15) Caller ID logging can be a PITA. Unanswered calls are logged in a group log.
Answered calls are logged only in the phone that answered the call.
(16) If you want the Caller ID display to show a name you've programmed, instead of the
name the phone company is sending, you must program the name and phone number in
the internal look-up table AND put it in the speed dial table, with a 9 in front of the phone
number.
(17) Voice recordings for the message card are stored in the SD card, not the message
card.
(18) If you are programming your 848 with a PC, the 848 will pick up the date and time
from the PC, so make sure the PC settings are correct.
(19) If you want an extension port to be used for a voice processor or DSS/BLF console,
take the port out of service ("OOS"), make and apply the change, and then put the port
back in service.
(20) You can't use the first generation KX-T proprietary phones, such as the KX-T30830
and KX-T61620.
(21) It's unusual for the KX-TD7680 and 7690 wireless phones to interfere with wireless
data networks. You can minimize interference by installing the KX-T0141 antenna
modules as far as possible from the wireless access points. If possible, set the wireless
access points to use channel 9.

- Use the PC software.
- Close anything active on the right part of the screen by clicking on OK.
- Click on the little SD icon near the top of the screen.
- Then click on Utility from the top of the screen.
- Then select Error Log from the drop-down menu.
- Then view and clear the error log (major and minor) when it opens on the from a
phone.) - Then click on Utility from the top of the screen.
- Then select Error Log from the drop-down menu.
- Then view and clear the error log (major and minor) when it opens on the right
side of the screen. The alarm light will go out. (It's not possible to turn off the light
from a phone.)

Music on Hold. - On the right-hand side of the screen, Click on "Apply" and "OK."
- Click on the SD icon near the top of the screen to save to the SD memory card.
- Internal BGM/MOH 1 sounds kind of like a combination "Sidewalks of New York"
and "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." - Internal BGM/MOH 2 is "A Lover's Concerto" ("How Gentle is the Rain.")
