# Important Note Regarding Saving of User-Recorded Speech Data

While user recorded messages can only be recorded at the front panel or via voice telephone, the resulting large amount of data can be imported into Alarmware™ by selecting this option when connecting to the RTU. Due to the large amount of data involved with recorded speech, this import process can take up to 2 hours via modem, or preferably about ½ hour via serial port connection to the RTU at 57,600 baud speed. It is good defensive practice to have recorded speech data saved on the central computer. This will help avoid the need to re-record messages if some unusual event requires restoration of the recorded speech data.
