You can record a personal greeting message of up to 2 minutes. If a greeting message is not recorded, one of two pre-recorded greetings will be played when a call is received (p. 16).
All messages {greeting, incoming, etc.) are stored in digital memory (p. 16). The total recording time is about 15 minutes. We recommend you record a brief greeting message (see sample on next page) in order to leave more time for recording new messages.

1
beep” is heard.
