Answering System Operation
Recording and playing memos and phone conversations
Memos are messages you record yourself. They are
saved, played back and deleted exactly like incoming
messages. You can record a memo as a reminder to
yourself, or leave a message for someone else if others
in your household use the answering system.
Note:
You can also record a phone conversation. This is also known as 2-
way recording.
You can record a memo or phone conversation up to
four minutes long. Memos or phone conversations less
than one second will not be recorded.
To record a memo (Base Only)
Press
RECORD
, then press
MAILBOX LINE 1/LINE 2
(or

or

mailbox. Press
MAILBOX LINE 1/LINE 2
(or select
STOP
)
to stop recording.
To record a phone conversation (Base Only)
While you are on a call, press
RECORD
on the base.
The conversation will be recorded into the mailbox
associated with the line the call is on. Press
MAILBOX
LINE 1/LINE 2
or

NOTE:
The far-end parties will hear a long beep when the recording is initi-
ated. There will be no other indication to them, so to ensure compliance
with any state and federal regulations that concern recording a telephone call,
you should start the recording process and then inform the caller that you are
recording the call.
NOTE:
While you are recording the conversation, you can press CLEAR to
stop recording and delete the already-recorded portion of the conversation.
NOTE:
2-way recordings are never in the "new" message list, because you
have already heard them.

Press a mailbox button to hear messages, memos, and 2-
way recordings (see page 31 for other options).
