Iwatsu IX-24KTD-3 24-Button ADIX LCD Speakerphone - Refurbished

Our review of the Iwatsu IX-24KTD-3 finds it best suited for busy office users and receptionists who need programmable keys and reliable desk-phone audio. The biggest reason to buy is its combination of a 24-button layout with a built-in full duplex DSP speakerphone, which makes hands-free conversations clear and practical for multi-line environments. This certified refurbished unit offers the core features of the original Iwatsu design while keeping costs down, making it a sensible choice for PBX systems that need a programmable, display-equipped desk phone.

Key Features

• 24 programmable buttons: Provides fast access to lines, extensions, or speed dials so users can manage frequent contacts without hunting through menus.

• Separate volume controls: Individual volume buttons for handset, speaker, and ringer let users tailor audio levels for different environments and preferences.
• Built-in headset connection: Lets headset users integrate easily with the phone for private calls while retaining convenient controls and features.
