Abstract: A nonlocking key telephone station is arranged to display full line status information when the station is on-hook and for normally illuminating only the key lamp associated with the line in use at the station when the set is off-hook. To permit a user to discern the full status of the lines terminating at the set when the set is off-hook, circuitry responsive to the depression of one of the keys at the station is provided for displaying full line status information.
