Greeting Message 
You can record a personal greeting message of up to 2 minutes. If you do not 
record your own message, one of two pre-recorded greetings will be played for 
callers (p. 23).
• You can use the enhanced recording mode for clearer sound, if necessary (p. 26).
To record a greeting message
• If “ ” is displayed, 6 beeps sound and “Your greeting was not recorded. Record your 
greeting again.” is announced, start again from step 1.
The total recording time of all messages (greeting, incoming and memo) is 
about 16 minutes. We recommend you record a brief greeting message in 
order to leave more time for recording new messages.
