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.
