Notes
•If there are messages that you have not listened to when you are deleting all
messages, you will hear several short beeps and the messages will not be deleted.
This is to protect you from accidentally erasing messages you have not yet listened to.
•To maintain maximum available record time, it is a good idea to delete the
old messages.
Note
If the message portion is 2 seconds or less, it will not be retained as a message.
