As an example,  suppose the position is as follow: 

BLACK 

WHITE 

To check the positions of the pawns,  press the  "pawn" key 

(! 

). 

The 

light  at  the  end  of  third  rank  (the  row  of  squares  third  from  bottom) 
comes  on,  showing  that  this  rank  is  the  nearest  one  to  White's  end  that 
has pawns  on it.  At the same  time,  to  show which squares on this rank the 
pawns  should  be  occupying,  the  light  comes  on  at  the  bottom  of  the  "D" 
and "G" files (the fourth and seventh columns from the left). 

Now press 

( ! 

) again.  The next rank that has pawns on it is the 

fifth. 

So 

the  light  for  this  rank  comes  on,  together  with  the  light  at  the  bottom  of 
the  "E" file.  At the same time,  the light  for the "F" file  blinks  (flashes  on 
and oft).  This  shows that the pawn on the square "F5" is a  black one.
