My Ge answering machine 29871 is answering calls but not registering the messages or they are garbled or cut off how do I fix this

SOURCE: Problem with GE Digital Messenging System #29871

I called the support number in the manual. They said to try a power off and power on sequence. Unplug phone line and then power, wait 10 minutes, and replug phone then power. If that doesn't work they said it is defective. My machine still didn't work so I am replacing it.

Sometimes if the person isn't talking loud enough the machine may "think" there is nobody there, so it simply hangs up.

SOURCE: Answering machine replay is garbled

Your handset battery will have no effect on the answering machine audio, providing your regular audio is fine (its fine when you make a phone call right?), I will assume yes. I have seen this problem in these models, and your problem lies in your base station, and the only fix you can attempt is to go into base programming and delete as much as you can out of the memory, greetings, old messages, etc.. Power down, then power back up again. Call in and leave a message. See if it sounds better through the handset or the speaker on the base when you play it back. If its garbled both ways (reviewing through the handset or on the speaker base) , then your problem is in your base memory. If it is just garbled on your handset, then it may be a radio module problem with the base, either way it probably needs to go in for repair. I don't know if Panasonic still repairs that model, but if you google Panasonic cordless telephone repair, you will find someone. Good Luck, CG

We have the answering machine set to 4 rings. When people call, the machine picks up on the 4th ring, it beeps, then cuts off. No recorded message. No message is recorded, the call is disconnected. What do we do?
send me email.

Turn the power off for like 10 minutes and then turn it back on. Make sure its not on fax mode, but tel/answer mode
