Erasing All Messages; Leaving A Memo; Screening Calls (Auto Disconnect Feature) - GE 29871 User Manual

NOTE:
• An 'old' message is a message that has been listened to (even if played
back partially) and not erased.
• A 'new' message is a message that has never been listened to at all.
• At the end of each message the answering system announces the time
and day the message was received.
At the end of messages playback the answering system announces "end
of messages."

Erasing All Messages

When the answering system isn't playing or recording messages, press and hold the ON/OFF/
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.
NOTE: Once a message is erased, it cannot be restored.

Leaving a Memo

Press and hold the PLAY/STOP/MEMO button. Record your message after the announcement
and the beep are heard. Release the PLAY/STOP/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.
Auto Disconnect tells the answering system to stop playing the greeting or recording a
message when an extension has picked up the call.
You can screen incoming calls by listening as the caller leaves a message. If you want to talk to
that caller, pick up any extension phone.
