My GE model 29586 is not working properly. 1) The "Speaker" and "Stop/Play" keys do not light up and work when you press. 2) The unit announces "Press menu key to sut up the unit" goes every minute. 3) The above two keys only lit up and work when the announce is playing. Please help to fix the problem. Thanks

Looks to me like you have a defective unit. You can try resetting it to factory settings and re-record the message and re-apply the settings and see what that does, be sure to review each step . If it doesn't work after that take it back to the store and have it replaced. Also, upon exchange, try to redo the settings and see if it works.

You do not have to purchase a manual for this one job. There is a free copy at http://images.lexmark.com/publications/pdfs/2007/index/en.html
Just go to the bottom of the page for "Typewriters" and choose your model. I believe the answer you are looking for is on page 3-25. I have looked at it myself. Here are the steps.

Always open the storage before making a revision.
- The store light must be on.
Pressing Store + the number (1 to 99) always opens storage at the beginning of a job.
If you play back too far or want to start over:
1. Press Play to stop playback
2. Press Store + the number (1 through 99)
3. Press Play. (Playback starts again at the beginning of the job.)

Use the Correction key to erase unwanted carrier returns from Stored job:
1. Press Play or Play+Spacebar until the carrier return playb
2. Press the correction key.

After making a revision hold down Play while you press and release the Spacebar several times to make sure the next few characters play back correctly.

When revising indented jobs, be sure to stop playback at the word or character you want to revise. Remember, you cannot use the Correction key to erase characters typed before you press Code+Tab or Code+Crtn. Therefore, if you play back too far, you may need to start playing back again from the beginning of the job.

Let me know if there is anything else needed.

dear friend,

These steps worked in MFC620CN/420CN/410CN/210C/240C and FAX2440C model.
