First of all, here is a link to a site where you can download the USER"S MANUAL for free:
http://www.retrevo.com/support/GE-29871GE3-Telephones-manual/id/512ag022/t/2/
Just use your mouse to click on the link, which is the underlined and highlighted text just above.
This will open a new web browser page automatically for you and allow you to view the information at the website indicated.
When you get to the RETREVO page, click on the blue DOWNLOAD THE DOCUMENT button on the left hand side.
Once you click on that and get to the next page, don't bother typing your email address in the empty box, it's not necessary. Only the CAPTCHA underneath is.
Just TYPE IN THE NUMBERS SHOWN BELOW into the second empty box.
Then click the red DOWNLOAD NOW button.
When the computer asks if you want to open or save the file, CHOOSE SAVE.
Then select a place on your computer to save the file (like the desktop), and then click SAVE.
Once the download is complete, which should only take a few seconds, then select OPEN.
Then you will see the contents of the USER'S MANUAL which is now saved on your computer for viewing anytime.
If it does not open, then you may need ADOBE READER installed on your computer to read the PDF document.
You can download this free at WWW.ADOBE.COM if necessary.
Click on the DOWNLOAD ADOBE READER button on right side of the ADOBE home page when you get there and then follow the onscreen instructions to install it.

How do i set ring
Hello.
From GE Home Electronics Support:
Setting the Rings to Answer
This setting allows you to select the number of rings before the answering system answers a call. This menu comes after you have finished setting the TIME/DAY.
1. The answering system announces, “Rings to Answer ( the current rings to answer setting ) To set rings to answer, press NEXT( 8 )...press ENTER set to continue.”
2. To change the rings to answer, press and release ( 7 or 8 ) button and the system announces a number such as “2, 3, 4,” or “2, toll saver, 5.”
3. After choosing a number, press and release the SETUP/ENTER button to store the rings to answer. The answering system confirms the setting and enters Message Length menu.
Hope this helps.
Error message 8 - won't record call
Here's how we fixed it. The official solution in the manual is to unplug the machine for 20 minutes. That didn't help. Apparently, we needed to do it for longer. After we left both ends of the power cord (from the wall and the machine) unplugged for about 5 hours, the machine magically worked again -- and no more code 8.

Thanks for using FixYa!!
Problem with GE Digital Messenging System #29871
I called the support number in the manual. They said to try a power off and power on sequence. Unplug phone line and then power, wait 10 minutes, and replug phone then power. If that doesn't work they said it is defective. My machine still didn't work so I am replacing it.
How do you retrieve messages from another phone?
If you have not changed the code, it should be set to the default code 1-2-3. Call the phone with the answering machine, and as soon as your greeting starts press 123. You will then hear a menu. Press 1 to retrieve your messages. After listening to your messages, you can listen to the menu again, which will tell you that you can press 0 to delete your messages, among other choices.

Hw do I reset/reprogram Model: 29871GE3 answering machine? No manual.
CL code
My phone was also flashing CL and the 0, after a power outage. After I set the date and time it was fixed. Press the flash button on the handset and use the caller ID buttons to set AM or PM; use the numbers to input the correct time. Then press #. Repeat for setting the day and press # again.
