KX-TC1868B / KX-TC1871B / KX-TC1872B 10.4. Signal Flowchart in the Whole System Reception CN101 of the base unit is connected to the TEL line, and the signal is input through the bridge diode D101. While talking the relay (Q121) is turned ON and amplified at the amplifiers Q461, then led to DSP (IC501). DSP generates ADPCM signal. The ADPCM signal is input to RFIC (IC101) of RF UNIT, and is mixed with pseudo random noise code (PN code) to spread the spectrum.

KX-TC1868B / KX-TC1871B / KX-TC1872B 13.8. Calling Line Identification Circuit (Caller ID) Function: 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-TC1868B / KX-TC1871B / KX-TC1872B lCall Waiting Calling Identity Delivery on Call Waiting (CIDCW) is a CLASS service that allows a customer, while off-hook on an existing call, to receive information about a calling party on a waited call. The transmission of the calling information takes place almost immediately after the customer is alerted to the new call so he/she can use this information to decide whether to take the new call.

KX-TC1868B / KX-TC1871B / KX-TC1872B 13.9. Parallel Connection Detection 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-TC1868B / KX-TC1871B / KX-TC1872B 13.17. Initializing Circuit Function: This circuit is used for to initialize the microcomputer when it incorporates an AC adaptor. Circuit Operation: When the AC Adaptor is inserted into the unit, then the voltage is shifted by IC301, D306 and power is supplied to the DSP.
KX-TC1868B / KX-TC1871B / KX-TC1872B 15 NEW CIRCUIT OPERATION (Handset) 15.1. Power Supply Circuit Voltage is supplied separately to each block. 15.2. Charge Circuit Ni-Cd battery is connected to CN202. When the handset is put on the cradle of the base unit, the power is supplied from CHARGE1 and CHARGE2 terminals to charge the battery.
KX-TC1868B / KX-TC1871B / KX-TC1872B 15.3. Ringer Circuit If the ringer volume is set to low and an alarm tone is output from 39 pin, IC201 DSP and input to Q209. Then Q208 is turned off. If the ringer volume is set to high, Q208 turns on and results in a louder beep tone.

KX-TC1868B / KX-TC1871B / KX-TC1872B 15.5. Reception Signal Circuit The received signal from the base unit is output from pins 33 (SPN) and 32 (SPP) of IC201 (DSP) as the voice signal. SPN is the inverse output of SPP, and the speaker is driven by SPN and SPP. CN203 is the headphone jack. When the headphone is connected to this jack, the output to the speaker of the handset (SPN,SPP) is cut and the voice signal is output to the headphone (HSOUT) only.
