If you walk out of range while the Handset is not in use, the Handset will beep twice and display OUT OF RANGE until the user press any key.
NOTE: If the Base Unit is without power, the Handset will behave as if it is out of range. Therefore, if the handset beeps, the display OUT OF RANGE occurs, and moving closer to the Base does not help, check the Base Unit to make sure it has power.
MESSAGE WAITING INDICATOR (for use with Voicemail)
Your Sprint cordless phone is capable of detecting a visual Message Waiting signal, generated by many
phone service providers. If you subscribe to Voicemail service from your local telephone company, and a visual message waiting signal is provided, the Sprint cordless phone will display on the right side of the Handset LCD to alert you to new, unplayed messages.
On the Base, the red MESSAGE LED will light up to alert you to new unplayed messages.
Once you have reviewed all of your new voicemail messages and hung up the phone, the Sprint cordless phone will usually turn off the Handset and Base indicators automatically. Note that there is a delay for the indicators to turn off, as the Sprint 1733 is waiting for an update signal from the telephone network.
After all new voicemail messages have been reviewed, if the MESSAGE WAITING indicator (icon or Base LED) remains on, you can manually clear the indications as follows:
•Press MENU, scroll to 9. Del MSG Icon. Press ENTER
•Press YES to delete the icon and Base LED.
