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.
