Disconnect the cordless handset battery, and spare battery, if applicable.

Wait a few minutes.

Connect power to the base.

Re-install the battery pack, and place the cordless handset into the base.

If the caller pauses for more than seven seconds, the system stops recording and disconnects the call.
