You don't actually erase messages from the tape, but instead you just
record new messages over the existing ones by resetting the tape to its
beginning. Normally, when you finish listening to messages, the unit sets
the tape to begin recording after the last message received.
To reset the tape to the beginning and record over existing messages:
1. Press the REWIND button.
2. Choose which line's messages you want to clear by pressing the
LINE 1 or LINE 2 button.
3. Repeat the process for the other line if desired.

When the tape is full, the unit does not answer until the 10th ring; then it
beeps. After the beep enter your security code (located on the bottom of
the unit). If the correct code is not entered, the unit hangs up. This enables
you to access your answerer from a remote Ideation, listen to messages,
and reset the tape for new messages (see "Remote Access" for
more information).

After you reset the tape, you can restore any messages on the tape, but
you must restore before new ones are recorded—otherwise they are lost.
Use any of the following methods to restore messages:
• Press PLAY/STOP and then select a line number to listen to that line's
messages. If no line is selected, the unit plays all messages.
• Press F. FORWARD and then select a line number to restore that line's
messages without listening to the messages. If no line is selected, the
messages for both lines are restored.
Whenever you restore messages, the unit automatically sets up to record
after the last message on the tape (just as if you never reset the tape).
