KX-FT937LA-B 15.2. Gear Section This section shows how the motor-driven gear mechanism works in the main operations: FAX transmission, FAX reception the motor and copying. 15.2.1. Mode Selection When the motor attached to the Drive Motor Gear rotates counterclockwise (CCW), Swing Gear A engages the CAM and the CAM turns counterclockwise to select a mode.

KX-FT937LA-B 16.2. HOW TO REPLACE THE FLAT PACKAGE IC Even if you do not have the special tools (for example, a spot heater) to remove the Flat IC, with some solder (large amount), a soldering iron and a cutter knife, you can easily remove the ICs that have more than 100 pins.
KX-FT937LA-B 16.2.3. Flat Package IC Installation Procedure 1. Temporarily fix the FLAT PACKAGE IC, soldering the two marked pins. *Check the accuracy of the IC setting with the corresponding soldering foil. 2. Apply flux to all pins of the FLAT PACKAGE IC.

KX-FT937LA-B 16.2.5. Digital Speakerphone The digital speakerphone has different features from the analog speakerphone. The analog speakerphone switches between Tx or Rx. Either Tx or Rx is able to pass through a telephone line or speaker, depending on the Tx and Rx signal (voice) level. The higher-level signal (either TX or RX) can pass through the route.
