2.5.3  PICKUP FOR MONITORED STATIONS
Your telephone may have the personal intercom number of another 
telephone appearing at a programmable button location. You can use 
the light associated with this button to monitor the status of that tele-
phone, and you can press the button to make a call to that telephone if 
you wish. The associated light is known as the Busy Lamp Field 
(BLF) light, and the button is known as the Direct Station Select 
(DSS) button. If the installer arranged for your telephone to have the 
station monitoring feature, the BLF light shows activity status at the 
monitored telephone.
•  To monitor another telephone,
—Observe the BLF light indications next to the Direct Station 
Select (DSS/BLF) button:
•  Off = Station is idle
•  Flashing (if enabled) = Station has an incoming call
•  On = Station is busy
Note:  If you do not have the station monitoring feature, the 
BLF light shows just the following information:  Off = idle, On 
= busy.
