Since changing to ACN, I get no blinking red light alerting me that we have a message.

  • jaxbobber Apr 14, 2011

    I do not have a page/call button on my phone, so I can't get my problem solved. For years we have the red alert button flash when we had a message received, when we were not at home,since going with ACN recently we no longer have that (alert) we would like to know when we had a message received when not at home.

There are few possible issues here. (I assume the voicemail indicator isn't working rather than the answering machine indicator.) 1) The signal that indicates the new voicemail is different (thus doesn't match the one the phone is looking for) or is giving the stutter tone to another phone number. Make sure that you have set up the voicemail service by contacting ACN for the new voicemail number and how to set it up in your area.

2) The indicator is turned off. To check this and turn it on: Press Menu/Select when the handset is in idle mode. Use the up/down arrows to select CLR VoiceMail menu and press Menu/Select. Press Menu/Select to change the setting or press Off/Clear to cancel.

3) The Voicemail service is not compatible with the 1740 system.

The answering machine indicator will only blink for new messages. If it is an old message (played once), then just the number of messages are displayed.

The manual for the TL74108 is available from AT&T: http://telephones.att.com/att/index.cfm/product-support/manuals/ . The direct link is: http://att.vtp-media.com/ecp/documents/product_Product/188/UserManual/952/TL74108_manual_I6.pdf .

I hope this helps.

What does the status light mean,it's green

When it's green that just means that you're phone has service. When it blinks red that means you have a text message, virgin alert, missed call, or sometimes a voicemail message. You can turn of the status indicator light by going to Menu > Settings > Display > Status Light and select "Off".

LED Display gives you your display visual alerts, signal strength, and operation mode. Here is an attached link for the manual.....http://www.uniden.com/pdf/LRD6399SWSom.pdf
But to answer your question here is what the difference between the green light and the red light are:
1. X-Band Signal Indicator—A green LED lights and blinks to
indicate the presence of an X-band radar signal. The blink rate
increases as the radar source gets closer. A distinct audio alert is
also heard.
2. K-Band Indicator— An amber (orange) LED lights and blinks to
indicate the presence of a K-band radar. The blink rate increases as
the radar source gets closer. A distinct audio alert is also heard.
3. Ka-SuperWideband Signal Indicator— A yellow LED lights and
blinks to indicate the presence of a Ka-SuperWideband radar
signal. The blink rate increases as the radar source gets closer. A
distinct audio alert is also heard.
4. Laser Signal Indicator— A red LED under L lights and blinks to
indicate the presence of a laser signal. A distinct audio alert is also
heard.
5. SWS Signal Indicator— When an early warning hazard or
informational signal is detected, the yellow SWS LED begins to
blink and the amber K-band LED lights. A distinct audio alert is
also heard.
6. Power-On Indicator— A green LED under P lights to indicate
power is being supplied to the unit and the unit is turned on.
7. LED Signal Strength Meter—Four LEDs give an accurate visual
indication of the strength of radar or laser signals.
8. City Mode Indicator—A green LED under C lights to indicate
that you selected City Mode.
9. Auto Mute Indicator— A red LED under M lights to indicate that
you selected the Auto Mute feature.

Please make sure you give me a rating and I hope this helps,
