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.
A During the recording of an active call, both parties can be recorded at the same time.
To stop recording a call, press the Start/Stop Record button ( ? ) or O ; on models with a flip
you can also close the flip, although this will end the call. The display shows the message
VoiceNote XX Stored where XX is the number of the storage location. VoiceNotes™ are
stored in sequential locations.
Recording stops immediately with no further notification if:
• you choose to accept an incoming call while you are recording (the Call Waiting alert is
played)
• you choose to initiate a call during recording a VoiceNote™.
VoiceNote™ Storage Capacity
The Show Time Available option in the Messages, VoiceNotes™ menu displays the
amount of recording time available, see Messages Menu on page 60.
During recording, ten seconds before the recording capacity is reached you will hear a warning
tone. If you do not stop recording within the time limit, recording will automatically stop and a
single, one second tone will be heard, accompanied by the
Storage Full message.
