Use the Clr voicemail feature when the telephone indicates there is new voicemail but
there is none. For example, when you have accessed your voicemail while away from
home. The Clr 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 that turns on the indicators.
