Message Status Lights
When a co-worker has a message, you and other operators
can use the Send/Remove Message feature or the Leave
Message feature to turn on a message light on the co-
worker’s phone. (Chapter 4 tells you more about these
features.) However, if a co-worker’s message light is already
on (because other operator messages are waiting), sending a
second message will turn off the message light.
To help you avoid errors, your DSS has a fixed
Message
Status
button that allows you to check the status of co-
workers’ message lights before you use the Send/Remove
Message or Leave Message feature.
To check a co-worker’s message status, press the
Message
Status
button (the green light goes on). Look at the light next
to the DSS button for the person’s extension; if the DSS button
light is on, your co-worker has an operator message.
