    When we hit the OGM button, it says to record the message. We state our message and hit the button again and it says to record the message.

Hi Diana - To record your outgoing message, hold down your ogm button ( outgoing message) for two seconds and it will ask you to record a message. To play back your message, just push the same button and it will play your message. If you don't like it just do it again. If this solves your problem PLEASE rate this as fixed. If you need more help just add a comment and I'll be happy to assist you further. Thanks and have a good day.

BEll South 1188

On the 2006c there is a small sticker on the back of the unit with the three-digit code. Also there is a button on the front of the unit which says "code". Press it and the code should appear on the display. It's very unlikely that the code would be printed in the manual, so it would have to be somewhere on the unit.

Change time & day

Does your system have a time/code button? If it does, hold the button down for about 5 or so seconds until you hear the date, then use your arrow keys up above & change to appropriate date & time.
