We have v tech phone after set answering system "A" sign on phone instead of "o" sign also not recording, please let me know how to solve this problem. Thanks

Are you pressing ANNC before you press RECORD? See page 30 of this manual.

Perhaps your answering machine needs to be set set to accept messages. Maybe your message machine memory is full of messages?

Apparently you have your system set to announce instead of answer. Since you didn't specify the model of your Uniden system I can't give you specific instructions on how to switch between the modes. You can select your model from the list beginning at

Since you didn't specify the model of your VTech phone, please enter the model number into the search box at

Without knowing the model of your VTech answering system I can't give you a definite answer, but apparently you have your system set on announce instead of record. Enter the model of your phone into the search box at

"The answering machine is off. Please leave a message" (sic) This doesn't make sense.... how can one leave a message if the answering machine is OFF! Unless it goes to a voicemail etc? It's just not possible?

I suggest that you use your manual, and reset up your system again, perform a Factory Reset and then set up what you need to do again, this will clear any erroneous data that maybe causing any problems.

Whats seems to be happening is that the default "Voice" is being activated instead of the recorded message? I think you need to do it again.

After you have done this, record your message and set the answering machine to ON. Then test it from another phone.

NOTE sometimes with answering machines, if they ring more than a certain number of times, without being answered, the AP may switch OFF, ON or indeed do "Other" functions" that may be assigned, so ensure that this "Feature' isn't active or enabled or whatever.

You have your answering machine set to the announce mode, where it plays an outgoing announcement but does not record incoming messages. You need to switch it to the record mode. Since you declined to specify the model of your AT&T 5.8GHz system, I can't tell you how to do that. Please refer to the manual for instructions.

Your system is set to "Announce" instead of "Answer". Since you neglected to specify the model of your VTech answering system I can only suggest you enter it into the search box here to download a copy of the manual to learn how to switch the mode.
