Erasing All Messages; Leaving A Memo - GE 29875 User Manual

Erasing All Messages

When the answering system isn't playing or recording messages, press and hold
the ERASE button until you hear the "Messages Erased" announcement. Release the
button after the announcement. This feature allows you to erase all old messages
but not new messages. If you do not have any messages, the answering system
announces, "Zero Messages."
NOTE: To erase new messages, play them, then press ERASE during
playback.

Leaving a Memo

Press and hold the PLAY/MEMO button. Record your message after the
announcement and the beep are heard. Release the PLAY/MEMO button when you're
finished talking. The answering system treats the memo as a message, and the
MESSAGE counter flashes.
Screening Calls (Auto Disconnect Feature)
When a call comes in the answering system rings the number of set times, plays the
greeting, and records the incoming call.
You may screen incoming calls by listening as the caller leaves a message. If you
want to talk to that caller, pick up any extension phone.
Auto Disconnect tells the answering system to stop playing the greeting or recording
a message when an extension phone is picked up. Sometimes you may pick up the
phone and the machine keeps playing the greeting. This is normal. If you want to pick
up the phone while the greeting is playing, wait about two seconds after the system
answers before picking up the phone.
If the greeting continues to play after picking up an extension phone, press and
release the STOP/SET button.
