Question about GE 29869GE2 Digital Answering Machine
I've got a new battery in the answering machine, and calls are in memory. When I unplug the power cord (from the wall socket) and then plug it back in, the calls have disappeared. This is not expected behavior, is it? Any suggestions on how to remedy it?
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!

Be sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord before cleaning the machine.
The power cannot be turned off while the machine is sending or receiving a fax, or when the received fax or unsent fax are stored in the machine's memory. Make sure if the machine completed sending or receiving all the faxes before disconnecting the power cord.
The machine cannot send or receive faxes when the power is turned off.
If you unplug the power cord, all the faxes stored in the machine's memory will be deleted.
Print the necessary faxes or save them to the memory card/USB flash drive before unplugging the power cord.

During any power outage or if the unit is unplugged all calls and sttings are lost.
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):
Somebody mentioned this below in Solution:
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.
