An MD destination button is actually a selection button and is not a destination button.
Destination Lock

on the current destination. The lock can be removed
at the panel that originally set the lock, at a panel that has the same user ID, or by a forced release at
any panel.
MD Mode
In MD mode, a locked destination has an “L” next to it when it appears in the display. When you
select a locked MD destination with a button, the ‘Destination Lock’ button goes high-tally.
The ‘Destination Lock’ button text is normally “Dest Lock” and when a selected MD destination is
locked, the button legend becomes “Dest Unlock.”
To lock or unlock MD destinations, select the destinations and press a ‘Destination Lock’ button.
X-Y Mode
In X-Y mode, you may lock or unlock the current destination on each of its levels. Select the
level(s) and press the ‘Destination Lock’ button to perform the lock. Select locked levels and press
the ‘Destination Lock’ button to unlock them. A locked level has an “L” next to it when it appears
in the display.

anyone
—
even the
user who issued the lock
—

button.
