When the red light is on next to a line button, it means

Dial Access to Line Pools
Your MERLIN system may be “pooled,” meaning one or two
buttons give you access to a group of outside lines. You may
have more than one pool of lines; for example, you may have
a pool of local lines, a pool of WATS lines, and a pool of Foreign
Exchange lines. When you have more than one line pool, you
may need to dial a code to select a line from the line pool you
want before you can place your call. Ask your system ad-
ministrator for a list of line pool codes for your system. 4
