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 flashes 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:

1.Press MENU/SELECT to show the menu when the handset is not in use.

2.Press or to select >CLR VOICEMAIL, then press MENU/SELECT. The screen shows TURN OFF INDICATOR?

3.Press MENU/SELECT to confirm your selection.

Your telephone service provider might alert you to new messages with a stutter (broken) dial tone. Contact your service provider for details.

Home area code

If you dial your local calls using only seven digits (area code not required), you can program your home area code so that when you receive a call within your local area, the telephone number is automatically stored without the area code in the call log.

1.Press MENU/SELECT to show the menu when the handset is not in use.

2.Press or to select >HOME AREA CODE, then press MENU/SELECT. The stored home area code appears with the last digit flashing.

3.Use the dialing keys to enter the desired home area code.

•Press REMOVE to delete a digit.

•Press and hold REMOVE to delete the entire entry.

4.Press MENU/SELECT to confirm.
