~ hope all above helps.

I have the same machine. There is no way to retreive it. You may be able to pay someone a lot of money to some how extract it off the chip but it would have to be a really important message and even then I do not know for sure if it is possible.

If I am away from my machine and want to call my answering machine and hear the messages what do I do. Lost my manual.

hold down the greetings button and speak when it beeps
