The Record soft key controls recording and is available:

When there are one or more calls connected to your phone (you may need to tap the More soft key to see it)

During an active call

When calls are on hold

During a consultative transfer or conference call

The Record soft key is not available:

When there are no connected calls on your phone

When you place a new call (to transfer or to conference)

When the phone prompts you to answer an incoming call

If you put an active call on hold, recording pauses. Recording continues if the called party puts you on hold. Recording stops if all active calls end, no matter who ends the calls.

If you press while recording, only the called parties are recorded.

Tones and indications (for example, dialing of digits or ringing from another party’s phone) that occur before a call connects are not recorded. Local tones and indications (for example, DTMF tones when dialing) are not recorded.

However, tones from another party’s phone may be recorded.

You control recording by tapping the Start, Pause, Resume, and Stop soft keys. All active calls that occur on your phone between the time you tap the Start soft key and the Stop soft key are recorded, alternating in the same .wav file.

For example, on October 4, 2007 at 11:22 am, you place a call to party A. After party A answers, you start recording the call. While you speak with party A, an incoming call arrives. You place party A on hold and speak with party B. When you finish speaking with party B, you return to speaking with party A. While speaking with party A again, another incoming call arrives. You place party A on hold and speak with party C. When you finish speaking with party C, you return to speaking with party A. You end your call with party A, and recording stops.
