Telstra m450 machine is beeping every 10 seconds

Hi Daniel:
Since I don't own one of these, I haven't the vaguest idea why there is beeping.
You however, have the good luck to have the machine, and probably have an owners manual.
If there is a beeping, the machine is trying to tell you something, and your manual should tell you what that something is.

Did you try pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds?
(that should be like pressing and holding the power button for 4 seconds on a locked up windows computer.)

there is a series of beeps. it should beep 1 to 10 times pause then beep again. need to know how many beeps between pauses.

check the micro switch on the door

The answering machine is most likely referring to the other mail boxes.
if a caller presses 1 or 2 they record in the other mail boxes.On the machine you will see an envelope with a 1 or a 2 next to the envelope.
Press and hold one of these mail boxes and when the messages are played press del to delete each message as it plays. Do this for each mail box.
Have this answering machine and have experienced this problem.

To change the answer message, hold ans on/off then HOLD the skip back button, don't let go until you finish the message, to change the amount of calls untill it plays the answer machine hold skip forward button till it says how many the press the forward button till you are happy, to change date and time, hold stop, it will say the day to change press skip forward, then press stop again, it will say the hour, press skip forward, then stop the minute, then skip forward, then stop again to confirm, i belive it is in 24hour time as well, when changing the time, but not on playback.

Hope this helps
