My machine got set to "announcement only" mode. Does anyone know how to reset it to record messages? It's not in the manual. .

Try resetting the phone. Unplug the system for at least 15 seconds. (I would go longer) Plug it back in, and allow up to a minute for the headset and base to reset. Got this out of the manual. Hopefully it'll help.

You have to flip a switch to re-record the message. When it is on "On" it cannot be changed. It will play the same thing every push.

Just check your settings and see if it somehow got put into silent mode. Outside of that, I don't have any other idea.

You hold the button down and record. I can't remember how long you have to record. If someone pushes the button and records, it does record over your previous message.

Perhaps a little test would be in order. Delete all the messages from the recorder and then re-record some messages and see how many you can record.

Actually, yes! I have the product manual in front of me. The default setting plays the incoming messages over the base speaker, but you can turn that off by turning off Call Screen in the settings menu. (It will still record messages, just not play them out loud.) Another way to achieve this is to turn on Silent Mode, which also turns off the ringer. A nice feature is you can set Silent Mode indefinitely or for 1-9 hours, so if you're having a party you won't have to remember to turn the ringer back on later.

You want a voice activated record mode which is common on the more advanced devices. I have owned several other types but this kind is mostly for dictation and meetings. The long wait time will run the batteries down and the quality of the recording may not be as you expected, so I do not recommend this unit for a standby type of usage.

I tried couple of times,it acts like is recording like the countdown and REC mode on display , but when you want to replay what you recorded said " error format " or something like that.

First I suggest you read the owner's manual for the keypad beep. Since I bought this for a friend I am not sure of the answer to the second question except to say that on an older version that I do own, yes, you can hear the pre-recorded message

Go to "messages", then "Create Messages", then "Text Mode" ---> from Text Mode scroll right to T9 "Predictive Text" and make sure it's off.

Yes, message can be locked so it can't be recorded over. From what I've been told, it is very similar to Build-a-Bear.

I move my recordings to my computer so I can edit them, and then send them out through e-mail to family. I would suggest you try the left or right arrow to change the settings. This recorder has been the easiest I have used and I use it weekly.

I don't think so. I've used this for quite sometime and like it for a no nonsense answering machine but I don't think you have that option. However, you can "trick" it by filling the memory and then it won't record anything else but will still answer; in that case it will act like announce only.

No silent mode that I can remember I have had it for a year. You record the message and so when it calls me the message is from shop. It says the "alarm is sounding at the shop"

The previous answers are correct. Recording over or simply being silent in the record mode will edit out what you no longer want on the tape. Hope this helps.

I am not sure about the voice you are talking about. The units I have don't have the voice every two minutes. It only say "start recording" when turn on and "stop recording" when turn off. Can you try reseting it?

If you don't need to record a 'personal' message, just press the Answer On/Off button on your base set. When the red light is on, the phone will answer with a standard message (you can use your cell phone to call it, so you can hear what it says). I actually never tried to record a personal message, so really can't help you with that. Good luck!
