Your VTech answering machine provides a full range of message-taking and storing capabilities, making these machines suitable for many home users. In the event of a power outage, most settings and messages will be safe in the storage system of the answering machine, preventing accidental loss of important information. Reset a VTech answering machine when the electricity goes off to restore the clock functions and its former settings.
Instructions
1. Turn the VTech answering machine back on after the power failure. You may see a double dash on the electronic display for a short time while the system initializes itself again. The VTech telephone is still usable during the period that the answering machine initializes.
2. Notice the electronic display on the top of the answering machine blinking "CL" repeatedly. This indicates that you must reset the day and time functions of the answering machine.
3. Press the "Menu" button down until you hear the message "Set day and time." Release the button.
4. Push the "Select" button until you hear the day stated. Press the "Time/Set" button to finish setting the day.
5. Press the "Select" button again until you hear the hour stated. Press the "Time/Set" button to finish setting the hour.
6. Push the "Select" button again until you hear the minutes stated. Press the "Time/Set" button to finish setting the minutes.
7. Listen for the correct announcement of the time and the day.
