L. H. Bottle Inactive?

I'm hoping someone can shed light on the purpose of this annunciator. I've flown this airplane a fair amount and have never seen it illuminated before today's trip. I've been through the documentation but don't see a description of what it is indicating and how to extinguish the light. I'm currently 3 hours into the flight and haven't noticed any particular consequence of its illumination, but as I understand the Boeing philosophy of no lights in normal operation, I really don't like seeing any...especially red ones...

The left hand bottle inactive refers to the high pressure start bottle.

Keep Calm and fly on!  Cool

Being illuminated indicates the pressure is low in the bottle. It should not cause you any in-flight problems.

After you land, reload the aircraft and see if it still lit.

Thank you very much, Lou!

Good to know that I for whatever reason, chose the correct course of action Wink

I just loaded up another flight and the annunciator is not lit, so all's well!
