Retrieve deleted phone message

You cannot recover any deleted messages from that kind of answering machine, the message is stored on a memory chip and when you delete it, it is gone.

Since you didn't specify the model of your Uniden PowerMax 5.8GHz system I can only suggest you select it from the list beginning here to download a copy of the manual.

You can download the TRU4485 manual at
http://www.uniden.com/content/ebiz/uniden/resources/ownersmanuals/TRU4485om.pdf

If you have a different model, select it from the list beginning at

This probably applies to your model:-

From the expansion handpiece - while the message is playing - hit the 4 button - or 4:delete button.

From the base unit - while the message is playing - hit "delete".

You can only delete all messages at once from the base unit.

After its deleted then its deleted forever. These are not like the old answering machines that all you did was pull the plug and plugged it back into the wall outlet to retrieve old messages was were deleted. When digital you can not do that....Sorry

SINCE ITS A DIGITAL ANSWERING SYSTEM, DELETED MESSAGES CANNOT BE RETRIEVED, IM SORRY.

Try leaving the unit unplugged for a few minutes and power it up. There can be power surges during an outage that can damage the chips holding the software that loads.

These phones use a "Shared" memory, the CID information and the Phone book information share the same memory chip. If you clean out the caller ID data you should be able to load more numbers in the phone book. Since you have an 8885 I am assuming you have TCX800 or TCX905 handset(s), to clear the CID memory, Follow these steps:

Deleting Information from the Caller ID List
1) When the phone is in standby mode, view the Caller ID
information to be deleted (see "Viewing the Caller ID
List" on page 50).
2) Press the DELETE soft key. De let e C all er ID appears.
3) Press volume up/down to choose Yes.
4) Press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone.

To delete all the CID information follow these steps:

Deleting all Caller ID names/numbers
1) When the phone is in standby mode, press cid.
Press the DELETE soft key. De let e A ll? appears.
2) Press volume up/down to choose Y es.
3) Press the OK soft key. You will hear a confirmation tone

I have the Uniden Power max 2.4 digital phone (base and 1 extra). We now need an answering machine since we are switching from TWC picking up our messages.
What will work with these phones since we think ours are disconnected?

As soon as your message starts, enter 0 and your pin (w/in 2 seconds). Then follow prompts. More specifics, see your telephone manual - you can go to www.retrevo.com/support/uniden-tru8885-2
See pg 64-65 and if you need to set pin, pg 25. Be blessed.
