Message Waiting Indication

The 20-2432 is compatible with optional voicemail service provided by some local telephone companies. If you subscribe to this service, and you have new, unplayed messages in your voicemail, a Visual Message Waiting Indicator (VMWI) signal is transmitted by your local telephone company.

The 20-2432 will detect a VMWI signal and activate the LINE1/LINE2 Message Waiting lights on the Base and the Message Waiting light on the Handset. In addition, your screen will display:

After you check your messages, the Message Waiting indicators will automatically turn off.

Please note that whenever new, unplayed messages are stored in your voicemail, the local Telephone Company will continue to send a VMWI signal.
