Model Number KX-TG2382B
2.4 GHz Cordless Answering System
Handset
With the handset buttons facing you, the antenna is a narrow 2.8 inch long protrusion on the top right. On the top of
the handset are two recessed rectangles that secure the handset in the cradle on the base unit when the unit is wall-
mounted. Just below the top on the front of the handset is a shallow oval concave. This is the earpiece. The smooth
surface below the earpiece is the display, its upper edge is defined by a small ridge in the center of the handset below
the earpiece. Immediately below the display, in the center of the handset, is the NAVIGATOR KEY, which is a large
round control with a cross-shaped concave and four active areas. The active areas are at the 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 6
o’clock and 9 o’clock positions. The 12 and 6 o’clock positions are the UP and DOWN keys and also control
volume. The 3 and 9 o’clock positions are the RIGHT and LEFT arrow keys. The 3 o’clock position is often used as
‘Save’ key during programming.
To the upper left of the NAVIGATOR KEY, a small circle is the TALK button. An oval below the TALK button is
the SPEAKERPHONE button. To the upper right of the NAVIGATOR KEY, a small circle is the OFF button. An
oval below the OFF button is the HOLD button. The HOLD button is also the INTERCOM or CLEAR button.
Below these buttons is the keypad laid out in the conventional telephone arrangement with a “nib” on the 5 button.
Just below the keypad are three ovals. On the left is the MUTE button. The MUTE button is also the FUNCTION
button. In the center is the FLASH button. The FLASH button is also the CALL WAIT button. On the right is the
PAUSE button. The PAUSE button is also the REDIAL button. The indentation just below the FLASH/CALL WAIT
button is the microphone.
The Handset Speaker is the rectangular textured area on the back of the handset (behind the display). The triangular
pattern of raised texture just below the Handset Speaker indicates the battery compartment. The battery door can be
opened by pushing in and down on this area.
Along the left and right sides of the handset are two indentations, which are parallel to the display, that secure the
belt clip. The belt clip is a T-shaped plastic piece with two curved arms and one long arm. The belt clip snaps into
place with the small ridges on the curved arms locking into each of the indentations on the side of the handset. The
two metal ridges at the bottom of the handset are the charge contacts. On the left side of the handset, parallel to the
TALK button, is the headset jack covered with a little round rubber cap. This cap can be opened by pulling down,
and is not removable.
Base unit
With the base unit facing you, the antenna is on the right side of the base unit and it should be positioned pointing
upwards. The handset’s charging cradle is on the left side of the base unit. This is about 1 inch deep depression. For
charging, the bottom of the handset is placed in the cradle with the handset buttons facing up. The handset also can
be placed in the cradle by the inverted position. The unit beeps when the handset is set properly in the cradle for
charging. If the unit is wall-mounted, you should push in and turn around the hook on the top of the cradle so that the
handset will be held securely. The rectangular area with recessed ridges to the right of the cradle is the Base Unit
Speaker.
Just below the Base Unit Speaker are three ovals. On the left is the GREETING RECORD button, in the center is the
GREETING CHECK button, and on the right is the ERASE button. Below these buttons is a smooth, rectangular
area. This is the display.
To the right of the display is the ANSWER ON button. It is a larger oval button with the ANSWER ON indicator
light to its upper part.
Below the display and the ANSWER ON button are four buttons in a horizontal row: from left to right, the first
button is the REPEAT button. To the right of the REPEAT button is the SKIP button. The small circle on the right of
the SKIP button is the STOP button. The large circle on the right of the STOP button is the MESSAGE PLAYBACK
