want to test the operation of the lights, ringer, and dial pad keys.

an extension, not to another outside number.
Switch Features
Abbreviated Dialing Allows you to store selected telephone numbers for quick and
easy dialing. Each number can be a complete or partial voice terminal number, an
extension number, or a trunk or feature code. There are 4 possible types of lists—
personal, group, system, and enhanced—and you have a total of 3 out of 4
possible lists (see your System Manager for details). Numbers on a personal list are
programmable by you; numbers on all other lists are programmable only by the System
Manager. Use as a timesaver for dialing frequently called, lengthy, or emergency
numbers.
Automatic Callback Sends you a special 3-burst ringing tone indicating that a
previously busy or unanswered extension is now available. Use to avoid constant
redialing when you wish to speak to someone who is frequently busy on the voice
terminal or in and out of the office. Note: Can be used only for extensions, not
outside numbers.
Call Forwarding All Calls Temporarily forwards all your calls to another extension
or to an outside number, depending on your system. Use when you will be away from
your voice terminal and you want your calls to be forwarded to a voice terminal of
your choice.
Call Park Puts a call on hold at your voice terminal, for retrieval at any extension.
Use when you need to go elsewhere to get information during a call, or whenever you
wish to complete a call from a different location. Also, if the call received is for
someone else, use it to hold the call until the called party can answer it from the
nearest available voice terminal.
Call Pickup Lets you answer a call at your voice terminal for another extension in
your pickup group. Use when you wish to handle a call for a group member who is
absent or otherwise unable to answer. Note: You can only use this feature if you
and the called party have been assigned to the same pickup group by your
System Manager.
Leave Word Calling Leaves a message for another extension to call you back. The
called party will be able to dial message service (e.g., attendant, AUDIX, covering
user, etc.) to retrieve a short, standard message which gives your name and extension,
the date and time you called, and the number of times you called. Use any time you
wish to have someone call you back; it will help cut down on repeated call attempts.
Priority Calling Allows you to call another extension with a distinctive 3-burst ring
to indicate that your call requires immediate attention. Use when you have
important or timely information for someone.
