Hi, I have a GE digital answerer CID speakerphone. It was working fine until one of my cats stepped on something. Now it only lets the phone ring 3 times and then disconnects the caller. HELP. It was set to 4 rings. I know I have the manual "somewhere," but after an hour of looking, no luck. Thanking you in advance.

You need to have Caller ID from your phone Co. 1st. Then when you get a call the number shows up as the phone rings.The handset also has a button called,CID,which you can press and see the last 100 calls you've recieved:)
Apparently you have the answering machine turned off.
When speakerphone is OFF (not in TALK mode), press flash/program button and CID VOL(+) / CID VOL(-) arrow keys to move the pointer > to point at ANSWER ON/OFF, press flash/program button to show SET ANSWERER ON OFF. Use the CID VOL(+) / CID VOL(-) arrow keys to select ON. If you need one, you can download the manual here.
This feature lets you select the number of times you want to phone to ring before the answering system answers a call.
1. Make sure your phone is OFF (not in talk mode). 2. Press the MUTE/PROG button to go to the main menu. 3. Press CID/VOL (up or down) button to scroll to HANDSET SETUP. 4. Press MUTE/PROG button to confirm. 5. Press the CID/VOL (up or down) button to scroll to the RING SELECT menu. 6. Press MUTE/PROG button to enter the menu. RING SELECT 3 4 5 6 TS shows in the display. 7. Use the CID/VOL (up or down) button to scroll to the your selection. The default setting is 5. 8. Press the MUTE/PROG button to confirm. You will hear a confirmation tone and the new setting shows in the display.
NOTE: If you select Toll Saver (TS) the unit answers after the 3rd ring if there are NEW messages, OR the unit answers after the 5th ring if there are NO new messages. This allows user to access their answerer from another location and then hang up after 4 rings to save long distance charges.
Just disconnect the phone from the mains for a minute and then reconnect. The old message on your answerphone is erased and replaced by the default setting message but you can record over that by pressing and holding the greeting button.
