I DO NOT HAVE A MANUAL FOR THIS MACHINE. I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PUT ON A GREETING WITHOUT SOMEONE LEAVING A MESSAGE

When your system was installed, someone had to put the original message on it. They also should have documented HOW the did that.
Generally, when we do it, it's a CUSTOM SERVICE greeting or COMPANY greeting and they go numerically in the TVA systems. So, the opening message is probably CS1 or CG1. Try looking around for the manual.

If you have the manual or the setup guide, the instructions for reviewing what each button is programmed for and then simply deleting that option.

This should be the same phone:

Press the logo button- *- 0 then the button you want to check. When you reach the one for the disconnected extension, delete it. or delete the answering machine option by scrolling through your menus. it may just be easiest to delete button and reprgram later.
