Display messages and lights

Knowing when you have a message

The Meridian 9316’s set indicator light lets you know that your voice mail system has a message for you. The set indicator light flashes slowly and the display shows Message Waiting after your voice mail has received a call. Contact your Telecommunications department to find out how you can subscribe to message waiting services.

Clear Message Waiting

There may be times when Message Waiting appears on the display when there are no more voice messages. You can turn the display message off using the Clear Message Waiting feature.

To clear message waiting:

1.Press the Set Options key.

2.Press [ ] six times or press [6] to go directly to the item.

3.Press [6] to clear message waiting.

Viewing multiple display and light messages

When you are not using the telephone, there are up to five messages that can be active at any time: date and time, X New Callers, Feature ON, Message Waiting, and Ringer is OFF. When more than one of these messages is active, the display shows the most recent message and in the bottom right-hand corner. You can view the other messages by pressing [ ], the display shows the next active message and it’s associated light. You can leave any one of the active messages on the display.

Learning about the lights

The Meridian 9316’s set indicator light also alerts you when another extension is on the line, the telephone rings, a call is on hold, a feature is ON, or the ringer is OFF. There is a small red light beside [Handsfree/Mute] to show you the status of handsfree and mute.
