Using the answering machine (continued)
Deleting recorded messages
To delete individual messages, press delete during playback, immediately after, or before the next message begins. You will hear a confirmation tone when the deletion is completed.
To delete all messages, first, make sure all new messages are played. Then press and hold delete at the base until you hear a long beep.
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.
