to record a message using the dials:

1) set both the tens and ones dials to 0

2) press and release (PAR) START (the middle switch) to hear the current message 

3) to change the message, press and hold (PAH) BOTH (the right switch) for 2 seconds until you hear MSG, release BOTH 

note: to exit without changing the message PAR SET (the left switch)
      to enter the message recording menu item PAR START (the middle switch), then the first character in the message will be played

4) refer to the character table for switch settings, don't use a setting above 42 (Z) or the kit will send ERR
  note that ERR may be sent as the switches are changed sometimes due to floating and/or temporary settings above 42 (and no, the answer to everything is not 42)

5) to change the current character to the dial setting, PAR START (the middle switch)
   to advance to the next character, PAR  SET (the left switch)
   to go back one character, PAR BOTH (the right switch)

6) to end the recording of the message PAH SET (the left switch)

7) the message can only be 60 characters long at most

Let's try a short message entry:
