Using VoiceNotes™
The VoiceNotes™ feature allows you to record up to 3 minutes of personal voice messages or to
record part of a phone call. This is useful when you don't have a pen and paper to hand for
taking directions or a message. Recording is available during the following call scenarios:
• Phone idle (no calls).
• Single active call (includes conference calls).
• Active call plus waiting call.
Recording a VoiceNote™
To record a VoiceNote™, press the Start/Stop Record button (
?
). You will hear a short tone to
indicate that recording has started and the display will show the message Recording and the
remaining recording time available.
If you are recording during a call, the person you are speaking to will hear a tone every 10
seconds to warn them that you are recording the call.

stored in sequential locations.
Recording stops immediately with no further notification if:
