Default Thermostat Q: What is auxiliary heat and emergency heat?

Hi there,

I have moved into a house with a heat pump and electric backup
'toaster'. When the fan is running, sometimes the auxiliary heat light
is on, and sometimes its not. Is this the backup electric resistance
heater coming on or what?

Also there is a switch for Emergency Heat, that you can turn on
manually and has a red light. What is this doing?

Thanks very much!

Dean
