When you subscribe to a voice mail service from your phone company, the Voice
Mail/In-use/Charge Indicator (4) on the base flashes when the phone is not in
use to indicate there is a voice mail waiting. It stops flashing after the voice mail
has been reviewed.

Check all connections:
-Is the AC/DC adaptor connected to a working outlet?

wiring or local service.
