The PIN login provides two choices: 1) Login with indicators on the screen, or 2) Login without indicators on the screen. The 'Sun' indicator provides visual indications of your login.

I have looked all over manuals and such a nothing. Makes prefect sense. Again thank you and to everyone else who helped.
