Clear Messages Waiting

Vista 390-350 - Go through the options menu on your telephone and select the Clear Msg Wtg Light option.

You have no new messages waiting, but your phone says you

Message Waiting Indicator Your phone's message waiting indicator is either a light or special tone that alerts you when you have voice mail.

Occasionally, the message waiting indicator may be out of sync with your mailbox. In that case, the indicator light or tone is ON but there are no messages waiting, or the indicator light or tone is OFF when there are new messages waiting.

To get the message indicator back in sync

1. Save or delete all new messages
2. Hang up.
3. If the message indicator does not go out or stop within a few minutes, there may be a problem, and you should contact Verizon.
4. If the message indicator does go out or stop, call your own number and leave a message
5. Hang up and wait
6. If the indicator light or tone does not come on within a few minutes, there may be a problem, and you should contact the vender.

My first guess is this button may be programmed as a message waiting indicator light for ext 1499. Go to the physical desk location of ext 1499 and see if the message light is on. Clear the message waiting and the companion appearance of this line on your phone should clear. Hope this helps.

Hi
When your red light is on with the handest down presss the message key. this will tell you where the message has come from. I expect you will see that an internal extension has dialled you by mistake. It is a message waiting function on the system for user to call back on. Nothing to worry about. To clear the light you have 2 options either press the clear button on the display for each message or dial *700(then your extension number)

You're probably subscribed to a voicemail system offered by your telephone company, and the phone is telling you there are messages waiting. Please contact your telephone company for instructions on accessing their voicemail system.

Press the "Callers" button, then the "Delete" button. This will erase all caller history, but should fix the light problem.

The light may be a "new call indication" or "message waiting" indication if you have voicemail service from the phone company. If you clear the caller id log or clear the voice message the light should go out. BUT, it will keep coming back on when a new call arrives! I have a similar phone and I just put a piece of tape that matches the color of the phone over the light.

The term we used for this back when I worked for the phone company was a "stuck message waiting indicator" and the way to fix it was:

Call yourself and leave a message.
Hang up and wait 2 minutes (we used to say 5 minutes, but 2 is plenty)
Retreive/delete your voice mail message
Hang up and wait 2 minutes


That should clear the blinking light.

Got rid of it and got a BT one
