SETTING THE RINGS TO ANSWER

The unit announces the rings to answer. To change,
press NEXT or PREVIOUS. To set and go on to the next
item, press SET.
1. Press and release NEXT or PREVIOUS until the unit
announces and displays the correct number of rings
for the answerer to pick up.
2. Once the rings to answer is set, press SET to enter
the incoming message length menu.

Is the ring volume turned up? Turn the ring volume up by attaching and plugging in the cord for the answering machine. Next leave the handset on the phone and press the up volume button with the plus(+) sign next to it.

Picking up the handset while pressing the up or down volume button will increase the voice volume.

The answering machine does not have to be on for this to work.

the connectivity is just fine as your are able to hear the caller. but if you think there must be something wrong with the caller's phone, try calling someone else and check.

That will be because the static was at the callers line, not at your end. At this time of year it is water in junction boxes at the caller's residence. If it was on every call, it would be down to your connections.

Question edited for a lot more clarity. You are only the second person to have this issue. Refer to the manual and do a reset, but in doing so you will lose all saved data. https://www.google.com/search?q=general+electric+ge+27956fe1+white+screen+fix ..

Remove all the phones on the system. Remove all the handset batteries. Plug in one old style corded phone to the main phone jack, it is normally the one closest to the front door. Do you have dial tone? If not, it is your Telco. If you have a dial tone, plug all the other phones in testing for a dial tone as you go.

A leak coming from the front of a front-load washer is often caused by a damaged or dirty door seal. If the door seal is cracked or loose, it will need to be replaced in order to restore a watertight seal. Always ensure all clothes pockets are empty prior to washing, as objects left in pockets can damage the door seal.

Line in use means another phone is being used. If you have more than one phone, the second phone is off the hook or someone is already using the phone. Check all phones and be sure they are hung up.

If you mean the long-life lithium backup battery for the corded 2-line GE 2-9421 (A indicating the sales region), that is a 3V Lithium battery. The part number 5-1923 appears to be a common CR2032 coin cell battery. These are used as backup batteries for Eraseable Programmable ROM on many devices, including computers.. One source is https://www.batteriesdirect.com/product/details/button-cell-batteries/ge/5-1923 . Any CR2032 from a reputable manufacturer will work. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells
