phone call came in,the machine answered and I did also, we quietly waited for the machine to beep itself off,later I hung up.When I looked at the recorder it was franticlly flashing,the message would not play,it only shortly rewinded time/day stamp would not announce,nothing...I unpluged it, I also removed the tape,and still nothing,just frantic flashing,any sugestions on what else to try? Oh yea it will not answer any more eaither.
