Getting started

Are you a new cable or VoIP subscriber?

If your answer is yes, the existing telephone jacks in your home may no longer work. Your cable/VoIP service provider uses a different connection, separate from your old traditional telephone service, to connect the modem/router/terminal adapter installed in your home.

To allow all existing telephone jacks to work, contact your telephone service provider for solutions, such as rewiring services (fees may apply).

If your answer is no, your existing telephone jacks will continue to work as normal.

Clear voicemail

If you subscribe to voicemail service offered by your telephone service provider, the handsets and telephone base display New voicemail and when you have new voicemail messages. Contact your telephone service provider for more information about using your voicemail service.

After you have listened to all new voicemail messages, the indicators on the handsets and telephone base turn off automatically.

Use the clear voicemail feature when the telephone indicates that there is new voicemail but there are none (for example, when you have accessed your voicemail while away from home). The clear voicemail feature only turns off the indicators;

it does not delete your voicemail messages. As long as you have new voicemail messages, your telephone service provider continues to send the signal to turn on the indicators.

To manually turn off these indicators:

1.Press MENU when the handset/telephone base is not in use.

2.Press /CID or / until the screen displays Settings, then press SELECT.

3.Press /CID or / until the screen displays Clr voicemail, then press SELECT. The screen displays Reset VM Icon?

4.Press SELECT to save your selection. You hear a confirmation tone.

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