Notes

•During long programming sessions, it is highly recommended that you periodically save the system data to the SD Memory Card. If the PBX suffers a sudden power failure or if the system is reset for some reason and all system data is lost, it can be restored from the SD Memory Card.
To save the system data to the SD Memory Card, either click the "SD Memory Backup" icon, or exit KX-TDA Maintenance Console and click "Yes" to save when prompted.
•When programming PBX data which can be displayed on a proprietary telephone (PT) (extension names, group names, System Speed Dialing names, etc.), it is possible to enter characters which cannot be displayed on a KX-T7600 series PT.
Characters which can be displayed on a KX-T7600 series PT are shown below in the white cells.

•Software features, design, and system requirements are subject to change.

CAUTION

Do not remove the SD Memory Card while it is being accessed. Doing so will corrupt the system data and possibly damage the SD Memory Card.
