Model # 29875GE1-B

While the message is playing press the ON/OFF ERASE button. See page 16 of this manual.

Here's the simple answer. When you go to record a new message, it will play the old message and offer to let you record a new one. Your system consists of three key pieces, the phone, the KSU (key service unit) and the VOICE MAIL SYSTEM. Guess where the "message bank" is?

In our systems, we use Custom Service menus to play the greetings, but there can also be COMPANY greetings in front of the CS menu. In a TVA system, we use low numbers like 1 for day and 2 for night, only because it's a GUI to set up the menus. In a TVS system, we use 30 for day and 60 for night so the sub-menus have slots.

Try looking for the installation instructions to see if you can find the menu flowchart. In any case, the old message will play before you're given the option of changing it and you must confirm the change with a "2".

If I am away from my machine and want to call my answering machine and hear the messages what do I do. Lost my manual.

Maybe your memory is full. If it's full, it won't save the messages.

Hi Sherrie, I am sorry to hear about your husband, I will do what I can to help. I am fairly confident on that model that if you push the greeting button, then delete it will erase the message for good. Also, if the memory power failed, then it would reset to the default greeting and erase all messages and greetings. However, if the unit has options for multiple greetings (ie. default greeting, greeting 1, greeting 2, etc., then perhaps the default greeting may have been selected, while your husbands greeting is still there but is recorded under say greeting number 1. If that is the case, you can select it to play his greeting instead of the default greeting to have it play. I would find out for you but my computer is having trouble opening the manual on the Panasonic site, so here is the link. Look under "greetings" in the index. Hope I helped.
