Telephone settings
Clear voicemail
If you subscribe to voicemail service offered by your telephone company,
NEW VOICEMAIL and appear on the handset, and the VOICEMAIL light
on the telephone base flashes when you have new voicemail messages.
Contact your local telephone company for more information and assistance
about using your voicemail service.
After you have listened to all new voicemail messages, the indicators on both
the handset and telephone base turn off automatically.
Use the clear voicemail feature when the telephone indicates that there is
new voicemail but there is none (for example, when you have accessed your
voicemail while away from home). Clearing the voicemail waiting indicator only
turns off the indicators; it does not delete your voicemail messages. As long as
you have new voicemail messages, your local telephone company continues to
send the signal to turn on the indicators.
To manually turn off these indicators:
Press MENU/SELECT to show the menu when the
handset is not in use.
Press or to select >
CLR VOICEMAIL, then
press MENU/SELECT. The screen shows TURN OFF
INDICATOR?
Press
