Recording a Message
Your system can record a brief message (up to 20 seconds) that can be played back later.
To record a message:
The keypad beeps and displays "REC MESSAGE." Begin speaking into the microphone.
NOTE: The Record function can only be performed from the master keypad. It cannot be performed from
any other wireless keypad (ex. 5827).
To stop recording before the end of 20 seconds: Press
Otherwise, the recording automatically stops after 20 seconds. The keypad beeps twice, the REC display
turns off, but the MESSAGE display remains on.
Message Playback
The lighted word MESSAGE indicates that a new message is in memory. After playing the message, the
MESSAGE display turns off. See NOTE below if using a wireless keypad.
To play back a message:

The volume level of message playback, system announcements, and status beeps can be changed. You can
also mute system announcements if desired. See NOTE below if using a wireless keypad.
