ing the boxed instructions onn page 28,
2. Touch Adm pool.
If your lines aren't in use, the iights next to the administration mode but-
tons stop flashing, the green light next to Adm Pool becomes steady.
The console gives a 2-beep signal for you to begin.
If this happens, go to step 4. If not, go to step 3.
3. If the green light next to Adrn Pool continues to flash instead of becom-
ing steady and you don't hear a 2-beep signal, your lines are in use.
You cannot set up line pools unless all the voice terminals in your system
are idle. To find out which voice terminals are busy, set the T/P switch
to the center position.
Steady green lights show next to the Auto Intercom buttons for terminals
that are in use.
If you want to proceed with setting up line pools, return the T/P switch
to P touch Adm Pool again, and wait. As soon as the system is idle, the
console gives the 2-beep signal for you to begin. Go on to step 4.
NOTE: If someone is on a data call, his or her voice terminal will not
show a busy signal. However, you will not be able to proceed with set-
ting up line pools until that voice terminal is idle.

system, it will disappear from that terminal if you add it to a line pool.

dividual lines,
If you want to administer the main pool, go on to step 5. If you want to
administer one of your other pools, dial the access code for that pool,

Refer to your completed System Configuration Form to see which lines
you want to have in the pool.

Each touch of the button gives you one of the following codes:
Steady red light on = line is assigned to pool

remove the line from its current pool, by dialing that pool,s access code
and touching the line button, before you can assign the line to a different
pool.
