programming mode, you can use a DTMF digit to start and stop the recording. For example, to
record track 30, you could enter "025 30 D". As soon as you release the 'D', the DVR will begin
recording. When you are finished speaking your message, press any DTMF digit to stop the
recording. The DVR will automatically delete a fraction of a second at the end of your message to
make sure that the sound of the DTMF digit is completely erased. Note that some phones
(especially ones that can be used as speakerphones) mute about the first 1/2 second of each phrase
you say; this makes recording nice DVR messages with them very difficult.
After entering the record command and unkeying, you must key up to start recording within 10
seconds of entering the record command or you will have to enter the command again. This is so a
record command can't be entered and end up recording someone that keys up an hour later not
knowing that the record command was the last thing entered. The default 10 second window can
be changed with Command 020; it is the "DVR Start Recording Timer".
Erasing Tracks:
You may never need to erase a DVR track, because you can record over them without erasing them
first (just like with a tape recorder). If you do erase a track, and then try to play it, it should just
play a short pause.
