flashing red light won't turn off

the red blinking light on my phone indicating I have a message has been on for the past 2 years. Ever since I changed my phone line to an internet based line, the light won't stop blinking which wears down the battery quickly. Please explain how to turn this light off.

"Just hold the FIND button on your base unit down until all phones stop beeping, about 5 seconds. That should do it!

"If you are on Telstra NBN the reason is they have put you on message service or voicemail

Phone them and cancel the service and all is good"

"Hi @ Lisa Nack,

According to the D2997 user manual there is a Find button on the base station.

Try holding that for 5 seconds with the phone in standby mode and see if the red light goes out."

"The Uniden Dect 6.0 as capacity for both provider message bank and local answering machine to operate simulteously.

Light will flag for either or and both when message is stored.

With Telstra 101 is dialled for message bank and *99# to turn on or #99# to turn off. Messages on this service use a 5 delete.

For local answering machine, ring time can bet set locally and may be set to operate before message bank. Possible advantage it will answer locally on and machine and if phone is busy on message bank.

To operate local and machine operate cassette tape symbol button on bottom RH corner of any phone. You will immediately receive number of local messages and the local message and be able to arrow right and select 4 to delete(5 is STOP).

Once both sets of messages have been dealt with red light will go out as no more messages.

Hope this helps. Red light comes back on because you have a message somewhere.

I had this problem. I have a Uniden Dect 6.0. I changed my phone service from CenturyLink to Cox Cable. After a couple of months my red lite started flashing for no apparent reason. I discovered your post about how to fix it. To make a long story short, your fix didn’t work. So I checked to see if the phone package I have with Cox contained Voice Mail - IT DOES! So I called Cox and asked them how I could see all my phone serviced options and could I disable Voice Mail is it is part of my package and they sent me to a Cox website where I was able to disable their voice mail. I noticed, before I disabled it, that I had ONE (Cox Cable) voice mail. It’s been a week since I deleted the one voice mail and disabled the Cox Cable voice mail and I haven’t had the uncontrollable blinking red lite - that I should only have if someone left a message on my Uniden recorder.
