I can't get uniden to record new OGM and I can't get it to play new OGM. Nor can I get these on the menu with any predictability. I dont know how to maneuver the menu to get to what I want

Press Menu and then use the up/down arrows to highlight Fax. Press Fax and then use the arrows to display Setup Msg Ctr and press that. Navigate to OGM and press that. Select F/T OGM (for announce only) or Msg Ctr OGM (callers can leave a message). Press Record OGM and then speak clearly to the microphone and then press Stop/Exit when done. The message should play back. Press Stop/Exit again. Then press the Message Center button on the MFC-990CW to activate the feature. (The icon on this button looks like a house next to a down arrow.)

Brother has the documentation for this unit here: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/doc/manual_index.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc990cw_all&dlid=&flang=English&type2=-1 .


I hope this helps.

(when my message center failed to record a OGM, the flash memory had failed. It had to be replaced.)

Since you declined to specify the model of your Uniden DECT 6.0 system, select it from the list beginning at
http://www.uniden.com/owners-manuals/dect-phones/scat/dectphones_mnl/
to download a copy of the manual.

Which Uniden DECT 6.0 phone do you have? Uniden makes several models.

For one Uniden phone that I know (DECT-1080), first make sure that the answering system is on. If needed, at the base press Ans On/Off. From a handset, press Menu/OK and use the redial and Phone Book keys to navigate through the menu to AM Operation. Press Menu/OK and navigate to Ans Settings. Press Menu/OK and navigate to Answer On/off. Press Menu/OK and then choose On and then Menu/OK again.

To set the Out-Going Message, again go to the Ans Settings submenu at the handset, and navigate to Record OGM and press Menu OK. Select OGM 1 or OGM 2 and press Menu/OK. Record your message after the tone. To select the OGM message to be heard by incoming callers, navigate to Select OGM, press Menu/OK, select the message and press Menu/OK.

Please note that you also need to make sure that the system isn't set to Announce Only in the Message length section. Enter this submenu from the Answer Settings as above. The choices are 1 minute, 4 minutes and Announce Only.

You can also do set the OGM from a touch tone phone remotely. Press * as the OGM plays and then enter your PIN. Press 06 and then 1 or 2 to select the OGM to edit. Then press 9 to return to the main menu.

However, on the DECT-1480, you set the OGM from the handset but in a different combination. Press Messages/Mute then 5 (or wait for the announcements to end). Press 8 or press the Caller ID/right arrow to navigate through the menu to 8: Record New Greeting. Press Menu/Select. Wait until you hear "Record greeting" then speak your message normally. Press 8 to end and listen to the playback of the greeting. Press End to save the message. (Select the desired greeting by pressing 6 instead of 8.)

Most Uniden DECT phone manuals are available from the product page or this list: http://www.uniden.com/bin/venda?ex=co_disp-view&bsref=uniden&scat=dectphones_mnl .

If you provide your model number in a comment, I'll be glad to give you the specific directions for setting the OGM on your phone.

I hope this helps.

Follow the instructions on page 43 of the manual at
http://www.uniden.com/content/ebiz/uniden/resources/ownersmanuals/DECT3080-2om.pdf

There are a number of Uniden DECT 6.0 phones. The user's manuals are available from the list here: http://www.uniden.com/index/manuals_results.cfm?cat=59 . Select your model and language for the appropriate PDF.

For the Uniden phone I know, you can set up the answering machine from a handset or the base unit. First turn on the answering system. On the base, press Ans On/Off. From the handset, press either the Phonebook or Redial buttons and use the menu to choose AM Operation. Then select Menu/OK. (Then find Answer On/Off choose On or Off and press Menu/OK to save.)

To set the Outgoing Message, use the handset as above but select Record OGM. (Alternatively, you can delete or hear your outgoing message.) To record the message press Menu/OK and wait for the beep before starting your message.

Next you can set the length of the message recording for incoming calls (1-4 minutes or Announce Only (no messages recorded). Choose Msg. Length from the menus.

I hope this helps.

You need to record the OGM message not the memo. Memo is used for just that. You can leave a memo for your other half, child, etc.

The OGM is what callers here when getting your answering machine.

To record a new OGM, on the Onetel OT150

Press "menu" on the base unit, then "up" once to record OGM 1 or twice to record OGM 2.

Press "OK" The existing OGM will begin to play. Whilst this is playing press and hold "MEMO"

Record your message, speaking close to the base unit. Press "stop" (square) when finished.

If you decided you don't like your message then, repeat the process above but when it tells you to record your own message press "stop" (Square) and the default will be reset.

Hi Diana - To record your outgoing message, hold down your ogm button ( outgoing message) for two seconds and it will ask you to record a message. To play back your message, just push the same button and it will play your message. If you don't like it just do it again. If this solves your problem PLEASE rate this as fixed. If you need more help just add a comment and I'll be happy to assist you further. Thanks and have a good day.
