Power went out in the house and I now need to re-set my GE phone model 25942EE4 and don't have the instruction book. Can't remember what buttons to press on handset to re-set the phone (currently says it is "unavailable") can someone assist.

If it is the same as mine (a model 25952EE-1), just hold down the skip button for 2 seconds and it will change back to English. Then, if you want your user manual, go to the GE website www.GE.com, hover over "products" and click "A-Z index", then scroll down to "Consumer Products" and click on "web site" next to "telephones". Click on your area (mine was "North America"), Click on "User Guides" , Click on "Cordless", "English", "United States" (if those are your choices), Then click "Search". Scroll to your model number and download your user manual!
1. Make sure the answering system is ON. 2. Press fash/answerer/call waiting button on the handset to enter answerer remote mode. 3. Press key [8] to enter Time/Day set menu on handset. 4. To set Hour, key in [00]-[12]. 5. To set Minutes, key in [00]-[59]. 6. To set AM/PM, press the CALLER ID-VOLUME (5or6) button. 7. Press #PAUSE/ringer button to confrm the setting.
CL means, you need to set the MIN, HOUR, DAY/CHECK. These buttons are on the back of the unit. You need to start with MIN, then HOUR and last DAY/CHECK. Hold the MIN button down to start the set up. You release the button on the correct selection. The button is slow to react, you might need to circle around to get the correct timing to release your figure from the button. The same with the other buttons. I was very glad to stop the flashing of the CL and number of calls on the answering machine. (my house lost power and all the clocks needed to be reset, this was the biggest clue. So CL either means CLOCK or CLUE.)
When you were listening to messages you probably pressed the SKIP button for longer than 2 seconds. Try pressing it and holding it again and see what happens.
I clicked on the Memory button and then the caller ID volume down arrow. I went to an empty spot and clicked on Memory again. That brought up the option to enter a name. I typed in the name and the hit the memory button again. That brought up the option to enter the phone number and then click on memory again and the number is entered on the phone. That is how to put a name in your phone book on your phone.
We had this same problem and seeing that the Manual is incorrect, I searched GE website manuals to find a different one that at least looked like the right model and found out how to clear the CL message code. This is just a time/day setting and it is to be done by the handset, not the base unit, With the handset, press the flash key, then press #8. You should now see the time flashing in the display. Adjust the time then press the pound key. Now the day is flashing in the display. adjust the day with the up arrow, then press the pound key to finish. Your base unit will announce the time and day is set and the CL is gone.... good luck
The day and time need to be reset. The phone has day, hour, and minute buttons on the back. Hold the button down to change to the correct setting and it should solve your problem. You can also go to www.ge.com/phones and pull up a copy of the instruction manual.
