Dear Sir or Madam,

I had purchase a GE 29869GE2 - answering machine - digital by General Electric but I do not have the operating instruction manual. I have serched extensively the website but could not find it. In view of the above could you kindly mail the instruction manual at your earliest convenience. Thanking you for your anticipated co-operation in this regard.

The following is on Page 19....

REMOTE ACCESS
You can access your answerer from any touch-tone phone
by entering your 4-digit security code (the default security
code is 0123). The remote functions do not work with rotary
or push-button pulse-dialing phones. You can cut out the
wallet-size remote card near the back of the User’s Guide
so you know the touch-tone commands when you're
picking up messages from another location.
To access your answerer:
1. Call your telephone number.
2. After you hear the beep that follows the greeting,
enter your 4-digit security code. To bypass the
greeting, you can enter your 4-digit security code at
any time while the greeting is playing.
3. The unit plays the remote menu after the correct
security code has been entered. Menu selections can
be made at any time while the menu is playing.

NOTE: The unit answers on the 10th ring when it is
turned off or the memory is full. To access the
answerer, enter the 4-digit security code after the
beep. If memory is full, play messages and erase
some of them to restore memory. If the answerer is
off, press 2 to turn it on.
NOTE: After the unit plays the remote menu, it will
wait several seconds for a command, then disconnect

If you are looking for a different manual, post here in comments. You mentioned Bell South, but the model was cut off. I posted the manual based on the section the question was in.

Your manual is available as a free download from the folllowing GE site:

I cannot set the number of rings for pickup, my machine picks up after 2 rings, do you know how to set it? I don't have the manual. Thanks

DO YOU HAVE DSL ON YOUR PHONE LINE? IF SO THIS COULD BE THE PROBLEM

It's been a long time, but I just came across this in the manual and was going through these postings for myself. I don't know if this does it, but you could try manual's page 7 "RETURNING TO THE DEFAULT GREETING":
http://www.fixya.com/support/p129719-ge_29869ge2_digital_answering_machine/manual-13322/page-7

For this particular model it says that when you want to move the unit you must NEVER unplug the power cord from the BACK OF THE UNIT! Doing so erases all messages. Terrible feature. Who would have ever guessed unplugging it from the back of the unit would erase all messages! Frustrating!

Manual is online:

A warning I'll pass on that I just learned:
I just lost 57 special messages that I had saved for years to follow up on, and learned the hard way (if you haven't come across it yet):
From page 6 of manual:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOVING THE ANSWERER...
3. Go to the electrical outlet and unplug the power supply. DO NOT UNPLUG THE POWER JACK CONNECTED TO THE UNIT. If you do, all memory will be erased.
I wasn't even moving it to another place, the jack just came a little loose while moving it around the table, and all the messages disappeared. A very poor detail in an otherwise (in my experience) well-designed machine. Manual's page 6 covers this: http://www.fixya.com/support/p129719-ge_29869ge2_digital_answering_machine/manual-13322/page-6

To retrieve a message from another location, dial the telephone number and when the greeting message starts punch in your four digit code. The default code is 0123 if you haven't set one. Follow the prompts to listen to messages.

To erase a greeting, press and hold the erase button while you are listening to the greeting. The unit will announce that the greeting has been erased.

Press and hold down the "greeting A" button. You will be instructed as to when to start your message. When you are done recording, release the button. To hear your recorded greeting, press the "greeting A" button again.

Just press and hold either Greeting button while recording your message

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 nice day.

That will be because the static was at the callers line, not at your end. At this time of year it is water in junction boxes at the caller's residence. If it was on every call, it would be down to your connections.

Question edited for a lot more clarity. You are only the second person to have this issue. Refer to the manual and do a reset, but in doing so you will lose all saved data. https://www.google.com/search?q=general+electric+ge+27956fe1+white+screen+fix ..
