Feature Guide 105
Conditions
• Hardware Requirement: An MSG card.
• Number of Messages and Recording Time
The PBX can record a maximum of 32 messages. Note that the total recording time of the PBX is 8 
minutes.
• A floating extension number can be assigned to each outgoing message (OGM) (→ Outgoing Message 
(OGM) Floating Extension Number [730]).
• Each MSG card can play two messages simultaneously. Adding additional MSG cards increases the 
number of messages that can be played simultaneously, but does not increase the total recording time 
or the number of messages that can be recorded.
[Example]
Note
When an additional MSG card is added, it is blank—all necessary messages will need to be stored 
in the new card. This can be done in two ways:
a) By installing the new MSG card then recording each message again. The PBX will 
automatically store the new recordings in each MSG card.
b) By transferring messages from the PBX to a PC using KX-TAW848 Maintenance Console, 
then transferring them back to the PBX with the new MSG card installed.
• The same message can be played to multiple callers simultaneously.
• Recording Methods
a) Record voice messages through the extension telephone.
b) Transfer prerecorded voice messages from an external audio source to the PBX via an external 
music port.
Note
Record voice messages only; avoid the recording of music.
• After recording messages, a manager extension can also play them back for confirmation.
