There may be a ringer control button on the side that is in the off position or a menu option to control the ringer.

Hi,
A power outage may have shut the answering machine off.
On mine there is a program button. I can turn my answering machine on or off, how many rings before it starts. If you do not know how to access the phones programs, try unplugging the little square transformer plugged in the electric wall socket and plug it back in.
The phone may tell you how to reset the functions.
Worth a try.

Here is your manual:

Just click the "get this manual" blue button

Your battery compartment is more than likely located in the back of the unit underneath the mounting bracket. You need to remove the mounting bracket in order to gain access to the battery compartment.
You can find your manual here:

But it doesn't have any reference to your battery compartment for your phone. That I could find anyway.

It is located here;

This happens when the connection to the internal battery is loose or if the internal battery is faulty.In a rare case it can also happen if internal memory on circuit board is gone faulty.
To solve this initially open the set and check the battery if the connections are good or not ,if still has problem than replace the battery.it will ask you to set it up once again after you replace the battery.once you set it up after replacing the battery it will work fine.
thanks.

here are some tips from my manual for out of range problems
hope they help
• Only one handset can be used to make or answer a call anytime.
If another handset attempt to do so, the screen will display OTHER
HANDSET ON and then OR OUT OF RANGE. You might press PHONE
or SPEAKER again until no other handset is using the line. Use the call
transfer feature to transfer a call to another system handset
or use the speakerphone feature so multiple members of your
house can be on an active call at the same time.
• Move the cordless handset closer to the base. You might have moved
out of range.
• Ensure that the base is powered up.
• Place the cordless handset in base cradle for 1 minute to allow the
cordless handset and base to resynchronize channels.
• If the cordless handset is in its base and the charging light does not
come on, refer to the charge light is off in troubleshooting guide.
• Reset the base. Unplug the unit’s electrical power. Wait for 15 seconds
then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset
and base to reset.
• Other electronic products can cause interference with your cordless
phone. Try installing your phone as far away from these types of elec
tronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios, radio towers, page
towers, cell phones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal
computers, kitchen appliances and cordless phones.

Are you sure there is a greeting?

Here is a manual for your phone, I never saw anything like what you are stating in the troubleshooting guide of the manual, but maybe you might have better luck.

I have a GE phone and mine sometimes does that. Hit the format button to suit your needs.

Here is a link for the User Guide for your phone, there is a location under the phone to replace the battery... but in this document they have it all written out.

Looking for a new answerling machine. The problem is evidently internal, in the electronics.
