• Line operator callback (on hold for too long).

Controls:

• Recording controls are microphone, recording safety lock (keyswitch), recording select button and recording start button.
• Mode control has three positions: +NAME, -NAME and TEST. +NAME says not only "Line 1", "Line 2" etc but also the user's description of the line. -NAME omits the user's description. TEST is for setting up only.
