New message indication

The Messages indicator on the telephone base flashes when there are new and unreviewed messages and memos in the general mailbox.

Message playback

From the telephone base, you can only play the messages in the general mailbox. You can only access the mailboxes for the handsets through each individual handset.

If you have new messages, you hear only the new messages (oldest first). If there are no new messages, the system plays back all the messages (oldest first).

When playback begins, the total number of messages is announced. Before each message, you hear the date and time of the recording. After the last message, you hear “End of the messages.”
