That means your system is set to "announce" mode, where it plays an outgoing announcement but does not record any incoming messages. The alternative is "record" mode, which plays an outgoing message and then records the incoming message.
Since you didn't specify the model of your VTech system, I can only direct you to enter it into the search box here and download a copy of the manual.

My display is alternating between CL and and won't take messages. What should I do.

CL means that the clock is not set and when that is the case, the answering machine wont work.

What does a stand for on the vtech answering machine

It means your system is set to "Announce" mode instead of "Answer." In this mode it announces you're not available to take the call but does not allow the caller to leave a message. If you want the system to take a message, switch to "Answer" mode.

Enter the model of your VTech 5.8GHz system into the search box at http://www.vtechphones.com/support/general/manuals to download a copy of the manual.

Why does a flashing A show up in the answering machine display?

Your machine is in announce mode, where it plays an outgoing message but does not record any incoming messages.
More information about the announce and answer modes, as well as instructions on switching between them, begin on page 26 of the manual.
