You need to cancel absent message on your phone. The method depends on which Panasonic phone system your phone is connected to. Following are the methods for three different Panasonic phone systems. Once you cancel absent message, your screen should return to date and time, if not then press * until it does.

KX-TA624 Phone System
Press intercom button, dial 750#, lift handset then return handset to cradle to end.

KX-TA1232 Phone System
Press intercom button, dial 7500, lift hanset then return hansdset to cradle to end.

KX-TDA100 or KX-TDA200 Phone Systems
Press intercom button, dial *7500, lift handset then return handset to cradle to end.

Try this method:

Press locator button on base unit for 3 seconds. Now push flash button on handset for 3 seconds.

This MAY reregister phone to base unit. It did not work for me, more tests at http://www.panasonic.com/consumer_electronics/telephones/ts_guide1.asp

The previous solution only works for older machines. I have the same Panasonic model and this works every time.
On your handset, hit the top center button(menu). Touch the arrow down button 7 times. Should say "Initial settings". Hit top right button on handset (display shows this is now the "select" key). Display now shows "Set Answering". Hit top right button again ( select key). Display now reads "Ring Count". Hit arrow down button 2 times. Display now reads "Remote Code". Hit select key again and enter your desired 2 digit remote code. Hit "Off" key. When you call the answering machine from the road, simply enter those same digits. Piece of cake. Enjoy.

Here is a link to the manual at Panasonic. Click on the "download" link under "operating instructions."

It's available on the Panasonic website (http://www.pasc.panasonic.com/EpartR/PartsList.asp) for under $2 plus shipping, but for some strange reason can only be purchased during business hours.

Someone has to answer the Message Waiting call to cancel...or, try dialing 700 plus your extension to cancel ALL MW lights.

Unplug it. Let it stay unplugged for a couple of minutes. Plug it back in. That should reset the phone.

According to the manual when you get this message
Please lift up andtry again.
A handset button was pressed while the handset was
on the base unit or charger. Lift the handset and press
the button again.

This method worked for me!! you guys should try this.

i've copy this review from amazon.

by Kane Doerfler

"After a brief power outage from a thunder storm, I also experienced an e3/lights blinking error. I unplugged the phone and plugged it back in several times to no avail. After doing this a couple of times unsuccessfully, I hit the "STOP" button on the base immediately after plugging it in (before it completed booting up to show the "e3 message")and it reset itself and now works fine (or as well as it did prior to the e3). Try it before tossing yours in the garbage"

thanks to Kane. I saved my phone~!!
