Deleting All Messages; Priority Calling - AT&T 1820 User Manual

NOTE: The system can save about 9 minutes of messages (up to a total of 50 messages). When
memory is full, you must delete some or all of the messages before any new messages can be
recorded.

Deleting All Messages

If you wish to delete all messages stored in memory, hold down DELETE after listening to all of your
messages. The system beeps once and displays "0" in the Message Window; you can then release the
button.
NOTE: When you delete all messages, any messages that were stored in memory are erased,
whether you have listened to them or not.
Deleting Selected Messages
To delete only a specific message, press and release DELETE while the message you want to delete is
being played. The system erases the message corresponding to the number shown in the Message Window,
beeps once, and continues with the next message.
To make sure you are deleting the right message, you can press REPEAT to repeat the message after
listening to it, then press DELETE while this message is playing.
After the system reaches the end of the last message, any messages that were not deleted are renumbered,
and the Message Window shows the total number of messages remaining in memory.

When the caller enters the Priority Calling code from a touch tone telephone, the system beeps loudly to
alert you to a priority call.
