Keys' LEDs (lamps)
The LEDs (light-emitting diodes), or lamps, associated with the programmable and fixed keys aid in
determining the status of their function. In general:
• Green indicates a function associated with your phone.
• Red indicates an occurrence at another station.
• A solidly lit lamp indicates in-use status.
• Blinking indicates an action, such as ringing or holding, is required; a fast blink calls for
immediate action.
As an example, a blinking red key is a call ringing at another station; blinking green signifies ringing at
your station. (See also "Line keys," page F.11.)
