After the phone answers a call, it plays
the outgoing message, beeps, and
records the caller’s message.
Each incoming message can be up to 1
or 4 minutes long, depending on how
you set
REC TIME (see “Setting the
Record Time” on Page 22). The phone’s
maximum recording capacity for both
lines is 25 minutes or 59 messages.

on one line while it is answering on the
other, it answers the new call after re-
cording the first call.
The phone stops recording and resets to
answer the next call when:
• the caller hangs up
• the maximum message length is
reached

more than 7 seconds of silence

the same phone line

memory is full,

message counters and the phone an-
nounces “No remaining time” when you
