6 .4 Message recording / loading
The unit will record audio signals from devices such as
mobile phones, computers etc. providing it will output
via a standard 3.5mm jack. It is recommended that the
audio file to be recorded onto the unit is generated in
mono.
The audio source for the message to be recorded should
be ready on the playback device. When the message
slot red indicator changes from fast flashing, (erasing), to
solid, (start of recording), playback of the source should
be started. Recordings that over run the maximum
record time will still be valid up to the maximum time
allowed:
The message loading process may need to be repeated
several times at different audio output levels in order to
achieve the best clarity. The output level and clarity of
the original recording will significantly affect the unit’s
recording of the message.
Message slots 1-11 allows up to 60 seconds of recording
length, while slot 12 can store a message up to 5
minutes long.

It is recommended the line input is disabled in configuration after
recording all messages as this will prevent accidental deletion / over-
writing of messages when using the front panel, see SAS manual for
more details.
Once a message slot has been selected for record (see
section 6.3.3) the record process begins:
Figure 10 - Record process flow
Once the associated message slot Red indicator goes
solid the unit is recording. To finish the recording process
a single press of the front panel button informs the unit
that no more audio is to be expected.
Each stage of the recording process is indicated on the
front panel indicators for the selected message slot, see
section 6.2.2.4 for more details.
