An extension user can notify another extension user that he wishes to talk to the user. The

on it turns on red. Pressing the lit Message button while on-hook shows the caller’s information
as shown below:

A flexible button can be customised as the Message button for the extension, other

message has been left on the extension. ( 1.27.1 Dial Tone)
• SLT with a Message Waiting Lamp (KX-TDA100/KX-TDA200 only)
