Night service on an LG GDK phone system

Working just from the Installation Manual for an LG GDK-FP II / GDK-34i phone system, I had to restore the night service button to the reception console.

In this particular installation, the reception console is only an 8 flex button handset and if you swap it for a larger one and then put the 8 button one back, the flex button that was assigned to night service stops working.

The trick is to program the button to be a USER button:

PGM * # PGM 29 100100 {Flex button} 1 HOLD/SAVE

From the programming station.

Then on the reception console, press

PGM {Flex button} PGM 93 HOLD/SAVE

PGM 93 is described as [DND/FWD] BTN Assignment in the manual. Manual night service is effectively the DND button on the attendant console - though the 8 flex button handsets don't have a DND button to begin with (rather poor if you ask me!)

In general I've found it very hard work getting info about LG systems - pretty much no documentation available on the net - so having a copy of the intallation manual (which is incredibly terse) is very helpful!
