Model Number KX-TG2584S
2.4 GHz Cordless Answering System
Cordless Handset
With the cordless handset buttons facing you, the antenna is a narrow 2.6 inch long protrusion on the top right. Just
below the top on the front of the cordless handset is a shallow 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 cordless handset
below the earpiece. Immediately below the display, in the center of the cordless handset, is the NAVIGATOR KEY,
which is a large circular control with a corss-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 during a call. The 3 and 9 o’clock positions are the RIGHT and LEFT arrow keys. The 3
o’clock position is often used as “Yes” key during programming. These keys are also the EDIT and CHANNEL keys
respectively.
To the upper left of the NAVIGATOR KEY, an oval button with a clipped edge is the TALK button. The oval button
below the TALK button is the MUTE button. The MUTE button is also the FUNCTION button. To the upper right of
the NAVIGATOR KEY, an oval button is the OFF button. The oval button below the OFF button is the CLEAR
button. The CLEAR button is also the INTERCOM or HOLD button.
Below these buttons is the keypad laid out in the conventional telephone arrangement with a “nib” on the 5 button.
On the lower left below the keypad is the FLASH button. The FLASH button is also the CALL WAIT or
PLAYBACK button. On the lower right of the keypad is the REDIAL button. The REDIAL button is also the
PAUSE button.
The indentation between the FLASH button and the REDIAL button is the microphone.
Along the sides of the cordless handset are two indentations, which are parallel to the small ridge below the earpiece,
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
cordless handset.
Further down the left side of the cordless handset, to the upper left of the TALK button, is the headset jack covered
with a little round rubber cap. This cap can be opened from front to back, and is not removable.
The 2 metal ridges at the bottom of the sides of the cordless handset are the charge contacts.
The battery compartment is on the back of the cordless handset (behind the keypad). Its upper edge is parallel to the
TALK button and the OFF button. The battery door can be opened by inserting a flat metal object in the slot on the
bottom of the cordless handset and pushing forward to release the lock.
Base unit
With the base unit facing you, the antennas are on the left and right sides of the base unit and they should be
positioned pointing upward.
On the left side of the base unit, the corded handset is placed on the cradle.
Immediately below the corded handset is a large rectangular textured area. This is the speakerphone.
To the right of the cradle, on the top of the base unit is a smooth rectangular area. This is the display. Below the
display are two long buttons in a horizontal row. The left one is the ANSWER ON button with an indicator to the
left. The right one is the MESSAGE PLAYBACK button with a triangular ridge on it. Below these two buttons are
four round buttons. The left-most one is the FUNCTION button. The FUNCTION button is also the EDIT button.
Immediately to the right is the CLEAR button. The CLEAR button is also the ERASE button. To the right of the
CLEAR or ERASE button are two round buttons with a clipped edge. The left smaller one is the EXIT button. The
EXIT button is also the ERASE button. The right larger one is the NAVIGATOR KEY, which is a large circular
control with concave and four active areas. The active areas are at the 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock, and 9 o’clock
