I was just given a 3-line phone to replace a 2-line phone I had (but I only have 2 lines). When the phone is at "rest" the red light is on line 3 constantly. What can I plug into the line 3 RJ connector to turn off that light -- besides a live phone line?
It's a Panasonic 3Line Easa-Phone.

Every phone of that type has some kind of setting to tell it which lines are in use, then you can disable the others and the lights should go out.
There are a number of different "Easa-Phone" models, I suggest going to Panasonic's web site, they have instruction manuals there.
Thanks. I get the idea, but I can't find a phone close enough so that the instructions for that phone work.
I'll try Google.
As a cheap workaround, consider using a 2-line splitter to wire Line 3 on the phone as an extension of one of the 2 phone lines you have. That line will appear on the phone twice, but so what if you just want to turn out the lite ?

So turn the phone upside down, read the number and then post it here.
Some of us may have the manual in our files :-)

Black Electrical Tape works wonders
But duct tape is the ultimate repair tool! ;-)
Certainly superior to frosted cellophane tape.
But I have no ducks in need of repair...
I've noticed there's a brand called "Duck Tape" available in the stores. ;-) It comes in various colours.
Ah yes, but it's only "frosty on the roll. Invisible on the job"

But the light always on will keep running the battery down. (He says from experience.)
Slapping forehead, never thought of tying lines together. Duh.
