• The caller left a message that is longer than the
message length you set during setup.
• Memory is full.
• Must use touch-tone phone.
• Must enter correct security code.
• Did unit hang up? If you take no action for a
period of time, it automatically hangs up.
• Unplug power cord from the electrical outlet
and plug it back in to reset the answerer.
NOTE: If the battery is not installed, this next step
will erase all your messages and return the unit to
the default settings.

from the back of the unit and plug it back in.
This is a complete reset.
