Lights
To the left of each line and intercom button is a green and a red light. These
lights flash in different ways to show what is happening on that line. The green
light shows activity at your extension; the red light shows activity at other exten-
sions. The following examples use a broken line to illustrate the various light
patterns.
■
These light patterns apply only
for buttons that have lines
■
assigned to them. Lights for
unused buttons are always off.
Light patterns are different when
■
changing system settings.
Steady On
A steady on light means a busy line. When the green light is on, your tele-
phone is busy on that line. When the red light is on, another extension is
busy on that line.
Off (off continuously)
An off light means the line is idle.
Flash
A flash pattern (long off, long on) means a call is ringing. When the green
light flashes, a call is ringing on that line at your extension. When the red
light flashes, it means that the line is ringing, but not at your extension.
Alternating Red/Green Flash
An alternating red and green flash (red on, green on, red on, green on)
appears on both extensions on a joined call. It also appears on an extension
connected in a conference call.
Wink
A wink pattern (long on, short off) shows a call on hold. When the green light
winks, a call is on hold at your extension. When the red light winks, a call is
on hold at another extension.

A ring and two beeps (Ring-BEEP-BEEP . . . Ring-BEEP-BEEP . . . Ring-
BEEP-BEEP . . . ) means you are receiving a transferred call.
Standard single-line rotary and touch-tone phones ring differently. See
