How can I get rid of the message lite ( red ) loss my owner's manual on these units.
Do you mean the status light on the handset or the one on the base? The status light on the base will be on if the answering system is on. The handset status light will be on but steady when the handset is on the charger. (It's a battery charging indicator in that case; take the handset off the charger to stop the charging system. It provides a trickle charge to offset the battery discharging over time) The light blinks to indicate new messages are available on the answering system. Press the Play button on the base or the Messages/Mute button on the handset to play new messages.
Uniden offers the manuals for many of their phones on their support site: http://www.uniden.com/bin/venda?ex=co_disp-view&bsref=uniden&scat=dectphones_mnl . The direct link to the manual for the DECT-1480 is http://www.uniden.com/content/ebiz/uniden/resources/ownersmanuals/DECT1480-2om.pdf .
I hope this helps.

Is your phone the DECT1480? This sounds like a different model - one that checks for voice mail from the telephone company. One Uniden phone with the feature is the D3288. The voice mail status indicator can sometimes get out of synch with the actual voice mail.
For the D3288, first press the Message/Mute and select Voice Mail. This should dial the programmed voice mail number and let you hear all available messages. Then press Menu (when the handset is in standby). Select Global Setup > VMWI reset and then Yes. (Use the up/down arrows and then Menu/Select to navigate through the menu and advance through the sub-menus.)
I hope this helps. Please add a comment with your phone's model number if you need additional help.

( I've had problems with voice mail message counters in the past that needed to be cleared on the phone company's side. (It's wonderful to get a Fax go to voice mail.))

Usually answered in minutes!
Status light on the handset is flashing red on all 3 separate units while off the charger.
Answering base unit is off, and handset message/mute button pressed with no messages on system.
Please advise.
thanks
