The connector pins aren't labeled on the LCD module, I have used the numbering on the phone board. This corresponds to viewing the LCD module from the back, with the flex connector at the top and numbering the pins 1 to 16 from left to right.
In the phones it seems to operate with a contrast voltage of 1.9V, but I had to supply 2.3V on my test rig, might be because supply voltage was only 3V rather than 3.3V.
The LCD modules can be swapped out from the phones quite simply, and are interchangable between the DTR-16D and DTR-8D, DTH series and possibly other models. See https://www.commgear.com/Documents/LCD%20Replacement-Instructions.pdf.
