Message Waiting 2 - 6 - AT&T SYSTEM 25 Manual

The Message Waiting feature turns on the message waiting light (available on most voice
terminals) to indicate there is a message.
When attempting to activate a message waiting light on a station that does not have one,
reorder tone is heard. A confirmation tone indicates that the message waiting light has
been activated.
Some multiline voice terminals have an associated MESSAGE button, which can be
pressed to turn off the light after receiving messages. For single-line voice terminals and
voice terminals without a MESSAGE button, a code must be dialed to turn off the light.
If a voice terminal has a COVER MSG button, users can control message waiting lights
on voice terminals for which they provide Individual Coverage, or for which they have
a BRIDGED ACCESS button.
