KX-TGE210/KX-TGE212/KX-TGE232/KX-TGE233/KX-TGE234/TGEA20 4.5.7. Parallel Connection Detect Circuit/Auto Disconnect Circuit Function: In order to disable call waiting and stutter tone functions when using telephones connected in parallel, it is necessary to have a circuit that judges whether a telephone connected in parallel is in use or not. This circuit determines whether the telephone connected in parallel is on hook or off hook by detecting changes in the T/R voltage.
KX-TGE210/KX-TGE212/KX-TGE232/KX-TGE233/KX-TGE234/TGEA20 4.5.8. Calling Line Identification (Caller ID)/Call Waiting Caller ID Function: Caller ID The caller ID is a chargeable ID which the user of a telephone circuit obtains by entering a contract with the telephone company to utilize a caller ID service. For this reason, the operation of this circuit assumes that a caller ID service contract has been entered for the circuit being used.

KX-TGE210/KX-TGE212/KX-TGE232/KX-TGE233/KX-TGE234/TGEA20 4.9. Behavior of Electric Power Failure In case that the power from AC adaptor is lost and lose radio waves, BBIC (IC1) turns Q11 ON since handset presumes that base unit's power is falied. Base unit detects that power voltage of AC adaptor +5.5V is OFF, then turns Q351 ON. It's possible to use the units during the power failure, supplying power to VBAT of base unit from battery of handset through Q10, CHG terminal and Q351.
