Why is the orange light flashing on hand set

The orange light on the Panasonic KX-TGU130E handset is flashing because the ringer indicator is active. This happens when there is an incoming call or an intercom is being received. However, if the torchlight is turned on during an incoming call, the ringer indicator will not work.
