Don, couple of thoughts on that.
Panasonic engineered the system to meet requirements of the time it was made. That phone system has been available for at least a decade (I remember programming one for Greg Calvimontes while standing in line for a lunch at a seminar in Chicago, which was 10 years ago.).
Are manufacturers expected to anticipate changes in the law ten years ahead?
Telephone system business in our world has changed over those ten years. Existing systems will still function just fine. They are in place, and as such, I've been told do not need to be replaced to comply with the new law. It's only new installations that need to meet the standards.
My favorite supplier stopped sales of the KXTA824 when we learned of the new law. That was last fall some time....
Fair thoughts Fred, thank you! I have two daughters, 7yo and 8mo- to think of a youngster trying to do the right thing (though with extremely low probability in this scenario) on a business phone, that makes me uneasy.
