Yes, just push the record button. It's the middle button on the top just under your display. That will start recording your call.

If you have the manual there is a full tutorial on how to set it up with a standard phone line. It is pretty simple if you have that. What type of phone service provider do you have? For example I use a cable phone provider and my answering machine has to be set up via their phone number.

I found the answer to my question on line. I dislike paying for information that should be available to me at no cost. I will instruct my tech person not to purchase your equipment any longer.

Your model is listed there. Just download yourself a copy and you'll have all the answers (and you won't be able to lose it again)!

I would doubt it.
Sorry

If the machine won't go past 4 rings (which it should somewhere in the answering machine settings menu) you could always change your greeting to a message that tells the caller to wait a few more moments for you to answer, while you get to the phone....

Is there any chance that there is a fax machine or modem attached to this #?

One idea is that the handset is not registered with the base unit. When the phone is new, you must register the handset with the base prior to use. Is this, by any chance, a second handset that you recently acquired? If so, you should be able to set it in the cradle for the base unit for a few seconds, and after that, it should be fine.

On my Uniden (not sure the model) I press 0 during the outgoing message and then my 4-digit pin.

Sorry, the digital memory can't be restored ones the power is cut or the messages are erased. Some high tech lab somewhere FBI/CIA maybe just maybe could do it but no noting we can do about it.

you can try a old trick of holding down the play button for 10 or more seconds.

I'm really sorry.
