b) When prompted, press the # sign for help.
c) When prompted, press 4 to increase or 7 to decrease the speed.

Prior to deletion, a reminder message will play indicating your message is scheduled to be deleted within 7 days. Make sure to check saved messages periodically for the deletion message. For IMPORTANT messages, you may retain a copy of the message by forwarding the message to yourself within the 7-day window or it will be lost and permanently deleted.
