If the memory becomes full while recording, your machine beeps a warning and disconnects the line. The machine will not function as an answering machine unless you erase the recorded messages.
When you want to talk to a caller with the other telephone on the same line while recording an incoming message (ICM), lift its handset and press ‘* (asterisk)’, ‘# (pound)’ and ‘* (asterisk)’.
