SOS SOS Live/Park/Bling Problems

Question

Left Theatre 3 hours ago and designer was setting up some cues. Just called me to say some very weird things are happening. Apparently (I hope I get this right - I can't check until the morning) The PARK and BLIND lights keep coming on. Yet he claims he can see changes to lights on the stage (in Blind?) but he can't save cues. If he presses the LIVE button though he can't see lights change but he can save cues. I'm not that experienced that I can remotely fix stuff like this so he switched off and I will go in. its that PARK and BLIND that he keeps getting in the way. What, how the PARK button lights up is totally foreign to me. Any ideas on where to start with the in the morning would be appreciated.

If any channels (or addresses) are parked (purposely or accidentally) the Park key will be lit, and along the top of every monitor on the right hand side it will say "Parked Channels", "Parked Addresses" or "Parked Channels/Addresses". 
 
 You can park a channel in a few ways: 
 Park Park Chan 1 at Full (note that you don't need to type enter, since park is a blind display) 
 Chan 1 at Full Park Enter 
 Chan 1 Park Enter

Similarly, you can park an address in a few ways: 
 Park Park Address 1 at Full (note that you don't need to type enter, since park is a blind display) 
 Address 1 at Full Park Enter

 Eos is really good about giving you contextual clues as to why things might be misbehaving.
