You'll need to download the manual from Uniden for the specifics for your phone, but the general process is the same for all phones with remote capability. You call your phone while you're away, and when your message starts playing you enter a security code. (That's why you need the manual; not all models use the same default code. You can also change the code, and the manual will explain the steps.) Once you've entered your code, other codes allow you to play messages, delete them, and possibly record a new outgoing message.
By the way, answering machines usually have a "toll-saver" ring setting. When you pick this, your phone rings six or seven times before answering if it hasn't taken any messages since you last checked. This gives you time to hang up so you don't run up toll charges only to learn you have no new messages. Many people have mobile phones with unlimited calling plans now, but others might still need to pay extra for long-distance.
The phone's voice mail indicator works with the voice mail function from your phone service provider. When your line is busy or goes unanswered (depending on how it's set up), the message is recorded by your service provider at their end, and you need to retrieve it. Most systems give a "stutter dialtone" when you pick up the phone to make a call (a few short bursts of dialtone before it becomes steady) to tell you when there's a waiting message. The message waiting light on the phone lets you know in case you don't pick the phone often.
Once you pick up your voice mail the light will go out and the dialtone will go back to normal. Check with your service provider for how to do it.
when your greeting answers, punch in your code, usually a 4 digit code, each manufacturer has their own default code that it comes with.. check the manual or website
Go to the base unit.
scroll to the answering machine option.
Under there is a setting for your security key.
you can read what's there, or change it to your own two digit code.
when you call in, during the message, enter that two digit code and it'll go into messages. There's a "toll saver" mode so that the machine answers after two rings instead of 4, so that if you call and it rings 3 times, you know there's no new messages.

My login didn't get accepted with the above solution. I want to edit that this solution works for my older 2.4GHz base units (models DCT-748 and DCT-7488) - both are about 3 yrs old.
sorry it sounds like the folder may be lost forever.once you pressed the record button, the recorder knew it as a new recording in that folder.look at it like a answering machine going out message. if you made a mistake,and you wanted to record a new message,the old message would be erased.if your folder was on a cassette recorder, you would have only erased those few seconds.
sorry
