SOURCE: Unable to talk on two handsets at same time when receiving a call

Unfortunately that is the untold story about cordless phones they only have the capability of 1 open line be it the handset or or the base. There are some very pricey multi line systems, I have the same system bought two extra handsets and found out too late that I can only use them one at a time! Sorry probably not the answer you were looking for but thats the reality...

SOURCE: base keeps blinking, and phone says new voice

try unplugging the base to reset it. That voicemail signal is set on or off by your phone service provider. Check with them to see if a: you have v-mail or b: they can reset it

the time needs to be set on your answering machine. If you buttons on your base press and hold the day/check button to set the day of the week.
Most likely you don't have the base buttons on your model so on the hand set press the flash button to enter the answerer remote mode. Press the 8 key to enter time set menu. Set hour an dmin using num buttons. Set am/pm using caller id buttons. Press #pause to confirm the setting. Set day of week -/+ and #pause to set them.

SOURCE: I am trying to keep the ringer volume at level 5

According to the owner's manual, this is a programmed "feature" of the phone. Evidentally, GE believes level 4 is better than level 5 and won't allow it to stay there.
