The first Panasonic Digital Super Hybrid phone system control units were introduced in 1993. The first revision ("dash one") came out in 1996. Since then, we've progressed through "dash two" and "dash three" and "dash four"; and now Panasonic is making "dash five" versions of the D816 and D1232 units. 

(The latest version of the KX-TD308 is dash three. The latest version of the KX-TA624 is dash four.)

The dash refers to the way model numbers are printed, such as "KX-TD816-5." The actual products are usually identified with a number in a circle on the bottom of the unit, either on the serial number plate, or on a separate sticker attached nearby.

Here's what's new:

  • Like the analog 624 and 1232, the new digital 816 and 1232 can handle up to FOUR door intercom speakers, when used with the new KX-TD161 door intercom module. You can select from eight different ringing sounds for each door.
  • The KX-TD1232-5 has an automatic recovery feature for twin-cabinet systems.
  • Remote Call Forwarding Set allows users who are out of the office or away from their desk to remotely forward their calls to another extension or outside telephone. The system can be set to Forward All Calls, Forward Busy Calls, Forward No Answer Calls, Forward Busy or No Answer Calls, Forward to a CO or Cancel Call Forward.
  • When digitally integrated with a Panasonic voice processing system, such as the new KX-TVS110, the clocks in each system will be automatically synchronized with each other, so the voice processor clock will be changed automatically any time the phone system clock is changed.
  • Caller ID announcement with voicemail messages from Panasonic voice processors.

NOTE: A dash five can be used only with another dash five in a twin-cabinet ("tandem") system.

A dash four made in December 2000 or later can be upgraded to dash five with a chipset change.


PRICES for the dash fives are the same as the dash four systems.
