Your Uniden answering machine can record up to 14 minutes of voice messages. The machine announces “No remaining time” and the LED indicator that displays the number of messages reads "FL" when the memory is full, alerting you that you should delete messages. Once the memory is full, callers will not be able to leave you any new messages until you erase some or all of the existing recordings. You can delete a single message from the base or the handset, or delete all of the messages from the base.

Pick up the handset.

Step 2

Press the "Message/Mute" button on the receiver.

Step 3

Press the "4" key on the dial pad while the message plays to delete it.

Delete a Single Message From the Base

Step 1

Press the "Play/Stop" button on the answering machine base.

Delete All Messages From the Base

Make sure the receiver is on the base and the answering machine is on standby and not playing any messages.
