Basic Operation

12. DXS/BLF Buttons — These are known as the direct extension

select/busy lamp field (DXS/BLF) buttons. They are used with the

hundreds group select buttons to place calls to guest rooms and to

determine the status of guest rooms.

Status Lamps

The buttons on the console have status lamps associated with their use. These

status lamps come on, go off, or flash as you use the console features. When

the lamps come on, the feature is active. When the lamps go off, the feature is

inactive. When the lamps flash three times, you have pressed the wrong button

or you cannot access the feature at this time.

There are also some status lamps not directly associated with buttons, and they

are located next to the dial keypad.
