9.1 Lighting the Message-Waiting Light
If the system installer designates your station as a central message
desk or programs it to have message-wait originate ability, you can
turn on the message-waiting light of any other telephone. This light
lets that telephone user know that you have a message for him or her.
In addition to the message waiting light, leaving a message indication
at a station also causes the dial tone at that station to sound in a
broken manner when the station user takes his or telephone off-hook.
If a telephone that receives a message has a DSS button that is pro-
grammed to call the station that left a message, the light next to that
DSS button on the message-receiving station will flash.
To turn on the message-waiting light (and a broken dial tone) at an
idle telephone:
1. lift the handset and press Talk (if necessary),
2. press the intercom button (if necessary),
3. dial * 3, and
4. dial the extension number of station to be alerted. The mes-
sage-waiting light of the called station will flash.
