call back, or clear message waiting indications left at your own extension.

The MESSAGE button is used to perform operations and display notifications from both
the Message Waiting and Built-in Voice Message (BV) features. If a message has also
been left in a voice message area, "

" will be shown on a display PT when
the MESSAGE button is pressed. Refer to "1.5.5 Using Voice Messaging (Built-in Voice
Message [BV])".

Waiting feature, or a maximum of 125 voice messages waiting when using the BV feature.
