Telephone settings Clear voicemail If you subscribe to voicemail service offered by your telephone service provider, NEW VOICEMAIL and are displayed on the handset 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 the handset turn off automatically. Use the clear voicemail feature when the telephone indicates that there is new voicemail but there are none (for example, when you have accessed your voicemail while away from home). The clear voicemail feature 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 that turns on the indicators. To manually turn off these indicators: 1. Press PROG when the handset is not in use. 2. Press # and the screen displays CLEAR? and YES flashes. -ORPress CID/VOL- or /VOL+ until the screen displays CLR VOICEMAIL, then press SELECT. The screen displays CLEAR? and YES flashes. 3. Press SELECT or PROG to confirm your selection. You will hear a confirmation tone. 4. Press OFF to return to idle mode. Your telephone service provider may only alert you of new messages with a broken (stutter) dial tone. This by itself will not activate the NEW VOICEMAIL indication on your cordless handset. The provider must also send a digital signal for Visual Message Waiting Indication to activate the new voicemail alert on the handset display. This may also be called FSK Voice Message Waiting Indication. Contact your telephone service provider for details. 12
