Why is my phone saying BS Search?

I am sure there is one to download but did not found anything with google... If search engines are of no help, just ask some deep web specialists, e.g. http://manualfox.com - if they don´t find it, it does not exist in the Internet.

To change the language used by the answering machine, look behind the base. There are four buttons in back, one says Language. Press it until you hear the language that you want.

Hi,
I just found the info on the internet. Here follows :

4) Press the STORE button once
5) Press the A, B, or C button once
6) Hangup the phoneset

Then just press the A, B, or C button once when need to dial the stored number.
