Recording Incoming Messages

The unit will answer incoming calls or routed calls after X rings (pickup delay set in the Settings Menu) and play the
outgoing greeting. After hearing the greeting followed by a tone, the caller can leave a message. If there is a new
message recorded in the unit, the Answering system indicator will flash, and the envelope icon shows in the LCD.
NOTE: Your unit will record a message up to the maximum length of time as long as the caller
continues speaking. To save recording capacity, your unit will automatically stop recording after 7
seconds of silence or if there is a steady dial tone for 7 seconds.
NOTE: Your unit can record up to 60 minutes of incoming messages.

take the call, press the speaker or line button or lift the handset and the system stops recording.
