GE 25983 Hangs up after announcement

Your system is set to "Announce" mode. To allow it to record messages, you need to switch it to "Answer" mode. Enter the model of your VTech system into the search box at http://www.vtechphones.com/support/general/manuals to download a copy of the manual.

Without knowing the model of your VTech answering system I can't give you a definite answer, but apparently you have your system set on announce instead of record. Enter the model of your phone into the search box at

Check and make sure that the disconnect clear time of ur Norstar is 800ms.

Hi,
Here you are...

Recording the Outgoing Announcement
For best results when recording, you should be about nine inches from the microphone, and eliminate as much background noise as possible.
1. Make sure the answering system is ON.
2. Press and hold the announce button on the base until the speaker announces "RECORD ANNOUNCEMENT AFTER TONE".
3. Begin speaking after you hear the beep.
4. Release the announce button when you finish your announcement.
NOTE: If you choose not to record an outgoing announcement, a default announcement plays instead. To return to the default announcement after you have recorded your own outgoing announcement, press the announce button and release it when you hear the beep. Or, press the delete button while the announcement is reviewing.
NOTE: The maximum duration allowed for outgoing message is 2 minutes.

Also, here's a link for your manual..

Record Time sets the duration for recording the incoming messages. You have three
record time options. The options "1 minute" or "4 minutes" set the duration for
recording the incoming messages. "Announce only" answers the call but prevents
the caller from leaving a message.
1) Enter the Answ. Setup menu, and then the Record
Time submenu (see "Entering the Menu" on page 16).
2) Press volume up/down to select Record Time
(1 Minute, 4 Minutes, or Announce Only)
3) Press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.

no make or model listed
on many phones there is an ability that when the phone is picked up it is automatically connected to the caller and pressing the answer button is the same as hanging up
as for you second point , if a caller rings but hangs up before the message beep or after the beep but hangs up , there will be no message recorded

JUNK IT AND GET A PANASONIC.. THATS WHAT I DID. THIS GE PHONE IS THE WORST.

hi all i want to have inst. manual in english which isnt with me can anyone tell me how to download from net. thanks.Pls. also email to [email protected]

If Announce Only is selected, no messages will be recorded.

When Announce Select is set to "A" and the system answers a call, the caller hears the announcement you recorded, followed by a beep. After the beep, the system begins recording your caller’s message up to three minutes long.

How close were you to the base unit when you recorded the message? The manual suggests 9 inches from your mouth to the mic on the unit. Also speak loudly when you make the recording. Yes, you can re-record the message. In fact, you can record two messages and use whichever one fits your immediate circumstances.
