Clear voicemail
If you subscribe to voicemail service offered by your telephone service
provider, NEW VOICEMAIL and appear on the handset, and the
VOICEMAIL light on the telephone base ashes when you have new
voicemail messages. Contact your telephone service provider 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 telephone service provider 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 SELECT TO CONFIRM.
Press MENU/SELECT to conrm your selection.

Your telephone service provider might alert you to new messages with a
stutter (broken) dial tone. Contact your telephone service provider for details.
Voicemail is different from answering system messages recorded in your
answering system. For more information about the difference, see page 28.
