I cannot turn my answer phone off i have tried going in to answer phone but no point am i give the choice to turn it off what do i do???

you have to one option when you recive any call then lock your phone and then talk

First, CREATE a test plan, then provide questions for the test, and possible answers (such as multiple choice answers). Then figure out how much (in points) that each question should be worth, in the final grade!

Try this:

press [menu]
scroll to "Answering Sys"
press [select]
scroll to "Ans Sys Setup"
press [select]
--- ( begin the setup item list )---
==1== as you scroll to each item to be set up,
press [select] to address that item
scroll through that item's choices,
then press [select] to confirm the choice selection
(chirps) and returns to the setup item list
==2==scroll to the next item
press [select] to address that item
scroll through that item's choices,
then press [select] to confirm the choice selection
(chirps) and returns to the setup item list
==3==scroll to the next item
press [select] to address that item
scroll through that item's choices,
then press [select] to confirm the choice selection
(chirps) and returns to the setup item list
==4== etc.
when finished, press [OFF] a few times to back up to "Handset #"

Good luck!

First thoughts are is the device near to a wall socket power supply?
Non "Switch mode" power supplies use transformers and these give off a radiated 50/60Hz hum which can be picked up by devices with amplifiers such as answering machines and phones etc. Try moving the answering machine to a new location where there are no power supplies nearby and see if that makes a difference? If it does you have a couple of choices, leave the machine where it is or move the power supply to another wall socket further from the answering machine.

Hi Debbie - I also have the DTerm80 Series - there is one phone in your group that acts like a main phone. If you find that phone and follow these prompts you would be able to set your company vm to include your extensions:

To set morning message:

To set evening message:

Turn off and restart while holding down "mod" and "sfx", then answer a choice or two about starting point and ending point, just move curser to the beginning.

On the keypad of the machine there is a choice for settings. You need to go into menu and scroll through to Fax Setup menu. ON this menu you will scroll through to AUTO ANSWER and it will give you the option of OFF or ON. YOu need to turn it to OFF. This means that if you want to recieve fax you will need to manually press start on machine when someone calls to send you one. Turning autoanswer on or off wont affect your ability to send faxes.

Sounds like a corrupt start up. Install your Vista disc and boot from the cd. After it loads windows it will give you several choices of what to do, choose repair startup and let the disc do its magic. When it is finished it will give you other choices after that. Take the disc out and restart and see if that takes care of the problem. If it doesn't, load the disc again and maybe try a early restore point, say a week before the problem started or think back to what happened to make this problem occur in the first place and go back to that restore point. You can pick earlier restore points then what is initially shown to you, just take your time. When restore is done, make sure to remove the disc.

Your bluetooth is turned off.
Go into
MENU> SETTING> CONNECTIVITY> BLUETOOTH> STATUS (I THINK) ITS THE LAST OPTION> MAKE SURE THE MIDDLE OPTION IS NOT TURNED OFF.

I would start by testing the phone while you are standing next to it. Call yourself from your cell phone and see if your answering machine is actually picking up.

My guess is that somehow the voicemail service from your telephone company got activated and the phone never rings long enough for the answering machine to pick up.

The other possibility is that your answering machine got set to "announce only." You don't specify what exact model you have but on mine (which is a Vtech 5.8GHz model with multiple handsets) you turn the answering machine on by pressing the on button and then use the menu button to cycle through the choices. One of the choices is "set announce only." When you are on that choice press the change button. If it says off, then it is set correctly. If it says on, press the change button again to alter the setting from on to off.
