Lights
Each line or pool button has a green light and a red light. The meaning of these
lights varies, depending on whether the button is used to access an outside line
or pool, is programmed with a system feature, or is programmed for Auto Dialing
an extension number (intercom Auto Dial button). (Auto Dial buttons for fax
extensions show additional information; these “Fax Management” buttons are
described in Chapter 4. When a phone is in programming mode, the lights
show information about programmed settings; see Chapter 2 for details.)
Table 3-1 shows the meanings of the various light patterns for each possible
button assignment.
