Storage Options

The CP960 supports recording of up to 12 hours in one file. By default, recorded files are saved to the internal storage. You can connect a USB (type A) flash drive to one of the available USB ports and save the recorded audio there for easier porting to a personal computer or mobile device (the OTG feature needs to be enabled/supported on the latter). The flash drive should be formatted in FAT32 file format.

Informing Parties and Asking for Consent

  Before making a recording, it is very important to inform all parties that you are going to record the conversation and ask for their consent to do so. In some US states and Canada only one participant need to provide consent for a call recording while in other states the law requires all participants to provide consent. To be on the safe side, please familiarize yourself with the legal requirements relevant to you, especially if you are making interstate calls. 

Making a Recording

You can record regular calls and conference calls. For conference calls, all participants are recorded while a recording takes place.

When a conference call is placed on hold, the recording is also automatically paused. While the conference is on hold you can place or answer other calls, which will be recorded to the same file. When the conference call is resumed, the recording is also resumed.

Starting, pausing, and ending a recording:

• To start a recording, during a call tap  .
  
  If a USB flash drive is connected, select where to save your recording – internal storage (CP960) or the USB flash drive. In this example, the recording will be saved to the USB flash drive.
  
  
• To end a recording you can tap   or tap End Call.
  
  The screen prompts that the call was recorded successfully. The recording is saved to the internal storage or the USB flash drive as a file with .aac extension.
