 I, however, don't think even Panasonic would bother with anyone sharing schematics and software on a unit so old that the configuration software is written for MS-DOS. So, for the sake of open knowledge, I'll share what I find here, albeit it's not much. As I grow frustrated, I also got salty. Sorry, I can't avoid it. This article may be a little too rich on salt.  I, however, don't think even Panasonic would bother with anyone sharing schematics and software on a unit so old that the configuration software is written for MS-DOS.

-`X`, by the way, means international market. I'd not lose my sleep over those suffixes, but the fact is that some systems can be quite different from others with the same name, depending on the local market they were built for. +`X`, by the way, means international market. I'd not lose my sleep over those suffixes, but the fact is that some systems can be quite different from others with the same name, depending on the local market they were built for, and frequently, service manuals made for one won't be adequate for another
  
-As for Brazil, Googles returns **nothing** for TD816 with the `BR` suffix, and there's a [single result](https://fveletronica.webnode.com.br/products/kx-td1232br/) mentioning the `BR` variant for TD1232 model. If this model really exists, I don't envy the luck of someone who'll have to maintain it. +As for Brazil, Googles returns **nothing** for TD816 with the `BR` suffix, and there's a [single result](https://fveletronica.webnode.com.br/products/kx-td1232br/) mentioning the `BR` variant for TD1232 model.

The sellers of one of the add-ons I bought said he worked with a lot of «BR» models, specially the TD1232BR, since the price difference between the two units were, at the time, minimal

 Again, my equipment has the P401A60905A ROM version. 3.41X had it's issues at the first moment, but it was the version that best worked for me. Not only it can display and change every configuration as it was also able to back up the configuration. Your mileage may vary, depending on region and ROM version.  Again, my equipment has the P401A60905A ROM version. 3.41X had it's issues at the first moment, but it was the version that best worked for me.

-The manual doesn't seem to be very clear about this. It mentions the ring activation on the PT's configuration, but you have to dial `391` to actually enable the SLT paralleled connection. +The manuals doesn't seem to be very clear about this.

 This arrangement may be useful in situations in which you want everything in a room, for example, to answer to the same extension number. Otherwise you would have to configure a extension group, and each extension can only be assigned to one.  This arrangement may be useful in situations in which you want everything in a room, for example, to answer to the same extension number.
