Hi, Bill
How did you enter that instruction, again? This is a Panasonic EASA-PHONE,
Model KX-T1470. It's a goodly age, now, but seems to be carrying on in fine
style, unlike other brands I've tried.

I would never hide from anyone the fact that I was recording, but it would
be very pleasant to eliminate the annoying beep.
