I need instructions on how to record a message on an AT & T Ansering Machine Model 1719. Lost the manual.

See the instructions on page 4 of the manual: http://www.fixya.com/support/p99729-t_1719_digital_answering_machine/usermanual-077E2DB-pdf

You may view/access the manual at http://www.fixya.com/support/p99729-t_1719_digital_answering_machine/usermanual-077E2DB-pdf

The instructions for recording the greeting are on page 4.

Since you didn't specify the model of your VTech answering machine, enter the model number into the search box at
http://www.vtechphones.com/vtechphones/index.cfm/support/general/manuals/
to download a copy of the manual.

Dial your number, when the AT&T 1719 answers and the announcement begins playing(if the unit's answer function is turned off, it will answer after 10 rings) dial your three digit security code(default is 500). If the announcement continues playing after entering the security code, press # to end the announcement or wait for the announcement to end and re-enter the security code. The answer machine will announce the number of messages then begin playback of the messages. I have included a link to the manual, remote operation of the AT&T 1719 answer machine is on page 8.
