KX-TG4024N will not let me make numeric selections during a call

Do you want to erase all messages? Are you looking at the handset, the base or are you calling the KX-TG885SK remotely?

1) At the base, press Erase during playback of a message to delete the current message. To erase all messages from the base, press Erase twice when the phone system is in standby mode (no active calls/incoming calls).

2) From a handset, use the menu to access the Answering Device sub menu and choose play new message or play all messages. (Alternatively, press Menu # 3 2 3 to play new messages or Menu # 3 2 4 to play all messages.) During playback of a message, press * 4 or pause the message. After pausing the message, highlight Erase and press Select. Confirm this. To erase all messages, choose Erase All messages (Menu # 3 2 5) and follow the prompts to confirm (highlight Yes and press Select). You can also press * 5 to erase all messages from the Answering Device sub menu.

3) During a remote call, *4 and * 5 work as above when using the handset.

See pages 70, 71, and 74 in the operating manual. The manual is available on the Add-on Handset page: https://shop.panasonic.com/cordless-corded-telephones/telephone-handsets/KX-TGFA61B.html . The current link to the manual is http://help.panasonic.ca/viewing/ALL/KX-TG885SK/OI/TG885SK_PNQP1397ZA/TG885SK_PNQP1397ZA.pdf .

I hope this helps.

From what I can tell from the manual and the info on the Panasonic online shop, this set does not have a call blocking function.

I have a KX-TG7644. Had to look harder for the Call Block directory. The manual really didn't help much. Press "Menu", go down to "Initial Settings", go to "Call Block". You can access the list and delete all or part to open up memory space. I had to do this after all the election calls.

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT!!!!! EASY VERSION
