less than 30 seconds and more than 3 seconds. Typical Message: “Hi, it’s ‘John’ here. I won’t
be home for dinner tonight, so will be back later.”
After the message is recorded, release the MEMO button to stop the recording. To hear the

up the phone upon hearing the callers voice which will de-activate the answer message when
speaking.
