Here is the manual for your phone. You can download the manual and the instructions for setting up your answering machine are on page 43:

You can set up your answering system's features from the handset. Only one handset at a time can access the answering system menus.
Note: If you have multiple bases, select the base with answering system you want to access (see page 15).
Recording a Personal Greeting
Your answering system comes with a pre-recorded outgoing message or greeting that plays when you receive a call: "Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone." You can record your own personal outgoing greeting. Your recorded greeting must be between two seconds and thirty seconds long.
Press /mute. The system announces the number of new and old messages, then starts to play the messages unless it has no messages.
Press 5 to stop the announcements or message playback. You will hear intermittent beeps indicating that the system is in the command waiting mode.
Press 8 to start the recording. The system announces, "Record greeting." Begin recording after the announcement.
When you finish recording, press 8 again or press 5. You will hear a confirmation tone, and your recorded greeting plays back for you.
Selecting a Greeting
Once you have recorded a personal greeting, the phone automatically switches to your personal greeting. You can
also switch back and forth between the pre-recorded greeting and your own greeting at any time.
Press /mute. The system announces the number of new and old messages, then starts to play the messages unless it has no messages.
Press 5 to stop the announcements or message playback. You will hear intermittent beeps indicating that the system is in the command waiting mode.
Press 6. The system plays the current greeting.
The message that has been left on answer machine is garbled and mubbling. I took phone and base back and traded for a new one. New one worked for 2 days and started garbleing and mumbling just like the 1st one. ????
when announcment is heard the message is completely "static-ed out"I cant get any satisfaction from the manufacterer. Very frustrating!
It seems like 99.99% of my messages that people leave sound completely distorted, and some of these may be important but I cant amke out what the person is saying nor who it is.. I have tried switching the phone out, and cant do that again, as well as trying a phone jack with a dsl and phone splitter, as well as just plugging the phone directly into the wall. I need to figure out how to fix this problem! It is very frustrating!!
I am not able to understand any message left for me, neither can I tell who the message is from, the sound is so bad.
