How to retrieve messages from the answering machine ..remotely

The VTech 6041 isn't an answering machine. If you have a separate answering machine connected to your phone line, please consult its documentation. If you're subscribed to a voicemail system provided by your telephone company, please contact them for instructions on accessing their voicemail system.

Alternatively, if you do have an answering machine connected to your phone, reply to this post and specify the make and model of your answering machine.

Follow the instructions beginning on page 62 of this manual.

Since you declined to specify the model of your Uniden DECT 6.0 system I can only suggest that you select it from the list beginning here to download a copy of the manual. The manual will give directions for remote accessing of your answering machine.

Remote operation instructions begin on page 62 of this manual.

Press INT (Bottom right black button) then # then follow instructions. Press 4 for new messages and 5 for all messages.
To turn answer machine on and off – press INT, #, 0 to turn it off and INT, #,8 to turn it on.

My question is how to change answer machine message, any ideas?

this instruction may help you , if not a model number could help , but try these instructions . thanks

To operate from a remote location, use any touch-tone telephone, and follow these steps:
Call your telephone number and wait for the answering machine to answer. If the answering machine is off, it will answer after about 10 rings and series of beeping sounds.
During the greeting message (or a series of beeps when the answering machine is off), press [0] and enter your PIN code within 2 seconds (see "Setting a Security Code or Personal Identification Number (PIN)" on page 57).
The answering machine announces the current time and the number of messages stored in memory. You hear "To play incoming messages, press zero-two. For help, press one-zero." You will hear a beep.
Enter a remote command within 15 seconds, each command there after must be entered within 2 seconds. You may select a command from the following chart:

Check if message retrieval works with a landline phone. If that works, then either the tones generated by your cellph are too far off frequency, or the cell network is filtering out or compressing too much of the tones.

A voice guide will say: “Pleaseset the security code. To select, pressthe SKIP or REPEAT button. To enter,press the SET button”.

3 Set a two-digit number between 00 and 99 bypressing (SKIP/QUICK) or (REPEAT/SLOW). Press (SKIP/QUICK) to increase a number, or (REPEAT/SLOW) to decrease.

Each time you press (SKIP/QUICK)or (REPEAT/SLOW), the answering machine announces a number.

4 Press (SET/REC). The remote ID code (security code) is set,and you hear a long confirmation beep.

To change the remote ID code(security code), Enter a new remote ID code (security code). The new code will replace the old one.

Note: If a powerinterruption occurs, the remote ID code will not be erased.

Replaced my battery for my Uniden 900MHz phone and lost my instruction book..Need to program it again for memory numbers.
How do I do that?

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. Cathy
