What does dstnct rng mean on nortel phone - NorStar M7208 Corded Phone

Usually that means Night Mode is on. You can try to dial Feature #831 to turn it off.

Not to be too obvious, but did you mean Feature*98?
Even then, it should be F*981, or another in that group:

Voicemail Feature Codes Norstar Meridian and Nortel BCM Help Guides

You need to enter the "Make Set Busy Deactivate Flexible Feature Code" - the "Flexible" part meaning the system administrator can change it, so you'll have to ask. The default appears to be #62.

Charge the battery. Fill the gas tank. This is your fuel reserve warning.

You mean Voice Mail Admin password
F985
9
RESETSMPSWD
OK
YES
Now try F983 1020000

This means that the firmware is messed up and need to be reloaded using a TFTP server. I hope this helps. If you need further support you can reach me at: http://www.liveperson.com/nortel-guy

If none of your voicemail feature codes(f980-f989) are active, then that means that the system doesn't recognize any nortel voicemail on the system.Which means that a) your system has a non-nortel voicemail system attached to it, b) theres no voicemail attached to the system at all or c) the voicemail is no longer functioning.

Have you tried a FEATURE #806

Feature 806 means Static time and date, but sometimes it shuts off the message waiting indicator lamp???
Not too sure why, but give it a try.
