Answering System Operation

• The system detects a busy signal or 

more than 7 seconds of silence.

• You pick up the system’s handset or any 

phone on the same phone line.

Note: When the system's message memory 
is full, the caller will hear the prerecorded 
announcement-only message ("Hello, no 
one is available to take your call. Please call 
again.") and the system cannot record 
additional messages until you delete some of 
the old messages (see “Deleting Messages” 
on Page 18).

RECORDING A MEMO

A memo is a message you can record on the 
system for yourself or others. The system 
stores memos as incoming messages (see 
“Playing Messages”). 

1. Hold down 

MEMO/REC

 until the system 

beeps. The system announces “Record 
your message after the tone.” 

2. When the tone sounds, speak your 

message.

3. When you finish the memo, press 

MEMO/REC

 or 

PLAY/STOP

.

Notes:

• The maximum length for recording a 

memo is about 10 minutes.

• The system cannot record a memo less 

than 2 seconds long.

• When the system’s message memory is 

full, 

<B

<B

<B

<B

 appears and the system 

announces “No remaining time” when 
you try to operate it.

RECORDING A 
CONVERSATION

The answering system lets you record both 
sides of a telephone conversation when you 
are talking with the handset.

Important: Every state has different 
regulations governing the recording of 
conversations over the telephone. Be sure to 
check your local, state and federal laws 
before using this product to record any 
telephone conversation in order to determine 
that your use is in compliance with such laws 
or guidelines.

To start recording a phone conversation, 
press 

MEMO/REC

 on the base until the 

answering system beeps and 

##

##

##

 appears. As 

it records the conversation, the system 
beeps every 15 seconds to let the caller 
know that the conversation is being 
recorded. To stop recording, press 

PLAY/

STOP

 or 

MEMO/REC

. The system stores a 

recorded conversation as a message (see 
“Playing Messages”).

Notes:

• The maximum length for recording a 

conversation is about 10 minutes.

• The system cannot record a 

conversation less than 2 seconds long.

• When the system’s message memory is 

full,

PLAYING MESSAGES

After the answering system has recorded a 
message, its message counter flashes 
showing the number of new messages. To 
play your messages, press 

PLAY/STOP

. The 

system announces the number of new and 
old messages, then plays the new 
messages. The message number appears 
as each message plays, and the system
