Telephone settings
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 ashes 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. 
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 MENU/SELECT to conrm your selection.
