I recently bought a used but working supp good condition

Bellsouth corded phone model 8870 it has hearing comptiable and VC. It has caller id and BiG Buttons

The caller id and dial part etc works fine. I wanna know how to program in memory numbers and to delete stuff already one it

Course I have lots of other corded and cordless phones

But Id like this one to work to it potential. since my best corded model no longer works ,the cassette message telephone answering part ..... boo hoo

Im trying to fig out how to use it . It has a blinking red light at the top for "New" I assume a new call

I have tried removing the batteries etc. It wont stop blinking

I finally after several days of Goggling etc hours and hours found a site that sells new phones Trying to find a simlar model

That led me to the Att page. but of course my model is discontinued

Im trying to find the correct ac adaptor. I have a big bag full of old ones. 9 volt output ac adaptors but it has a longer male plug for it. Ill visit the thrift stores to find more of them.

It has a "reset"on the bottom. I held it in but cant see what it did or does

So I dont KNOW what the ac transformer would do or does???? I put in for new batteries anyway At this rate the batteries will soon run down

Thanks all
