I found the link to the 1738's owner's manual on at&t's telephone equipment website:

The link you'll need is the one on the bottom, and the steps to record the announcement are on page 1 of 2 over towards the right hand side of the page.

The microphone (located inside the unit and faces downward towards the surface below the answering machine) might be defective. One option would be to call into the answering machine and try recording your message that way.

Other than that, there really isn't much you can do for this problem other than replace the unit.
