Voicemail (visual message waiting) indicator
If you subscribe to a voicemail service offered by your local
telephone company, the voicemail waiting indicator feature

will provide visual indication when you have new voicemail
messages. The VOICEMAIL light on the telephone base will

flash, and NEW VOICEMAIL and the icon appear on the
handset screen.

NOTES:
1. This feature does not indicate new answering system messages recorded on

your phone.

2. For more information about the difference between your answering system and

voicemail, see page 37.

Clear voicemail indication
Use this feature when the telephone indicates there is new voicemail but
there is none. For example, when you have accessed your voicemail while
away from home. This feature only turns off the displayed NEW VOICEMAIL
message, icon and VOICEMAIL light; 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 indicator.

MENU

off, or press

NOTES:

dial tone. Contact your telephone company for more details.
