There is no message but the message light is blinking

That might be the Voice Mail Waiting Indicator which works
with the telephone service provider's 'VoiceMail' feature.
On the D1680 and similar handsets, it can be reset by:

1. press [menu]
2. scroll down to "Global Setup", press [select]
3. scroll down to "VMWI Reset", press [select]
4. scroll down from "No" to "Yes", press [select]
5. handset will chirp, blinking lamp goes out,
6. press [END]

Other models, check your manual. The model number
is on a small sticker under the battery in the handset --

Good luck!

If it's the message light, then you have unheard messages on the voicemail system provided by your telephone company. This system records messages when someone calls while you're already on the phone. Please contact your telephone company for instructions on accessing their voicemail system.

Hi billkratzenb,

Try turning the device off for 5 mins, and turn it back on.

if the light still blinks even though there are no messages, go through the device settings and restore everything to Factory Default.

I hope this has helped, Good Luck!

reset your base unit by disconnecting power, then hold find hs button while reconnecting power.

You forgot to supply a model number, but is this a cordless with an answering machine or did the message light blink when you had messages from the phone company provided voice mail?

If it's the former, pressing the play button and/or holding down the ERASE button will make the messages disappear.

If it's the latter, here's where the fun begins. Message lamps are lit from a signal generated from the phone line. Stutter dial tone is usually the cause, and it could be just because you have a feature enabled. I think the cadence of the call forwarding dial tone is enough to set off MW, but I'm not there to hear it :-)

Try unplugging the phone completely, then plug it in without the outside line. I'm guessing the display will tell you there's no outside line, but what does the message waiting light do? Then plug in the line and see if it lights immediately or after some delay. It may test the line as soon as you plug it into the wall and be hearing the funny dial tone.

Comment back after you've done this.

hold you finger for 5 seconds on the page (or find hs) button, that usually clears the blinking beep/light!!!

also make sure no old messages are in the VM inbox!

This worked for my phone!

To reset the indicator(Red light flashing on handset), press and hold the find handset key for 5 seconds or until the light flashing stops(10 sec).
