1. Press VOICE MAIL.

When using the esi 60D or 60IP the phone’s lower display will update to display the first eight voice mail messages. Each new voice mail message will appear with the word NEW in inverted text.

To play a message, press the programmable feature key immediately to the left of the message. During playback, the display will show the originator of the message, the duration of the message, whether it’s new or old, and the time/date of the message. (To see only this detailed information without playing back the message, press the programmable feature key immediately to the right of the message.)
