Right, now I've figured this out :)

Put your button in the holder on the foot - fiddle about with it enough and I'm sure you'll work out how, one bit slides open and then you can close it again to hold the button.

Then fit the foot to the machine - the piece with the button in goes at the back.

Select 2 on the stitch selector, 4.5 on the stitch width and buttonhole on the stitch length.

Using scraps make up a piece of fabric with the same number and construction of layers as your finished garment and do a practice run or three.

You can set the actual feed length using the -.+ control (beside the feed release switch at the front, below the sewing table).

Between button holes you need to reset by turning the stitch selector wheel slightly until you hear a click.

Once you're happy with the method, think you have the settings as you want them and feel you have done enough practice try it for real on the garment.

Note: the button holes come out a bit long - just don't cut down the whole length or you may need to hand sew them tighter.

On most sewing machines the light bulb is located inside the faceplate on the left hand side of your machine.

The faceplate is part number 17 in this manual.
One that has been removed, the bulb should be visible. You will need to look at the old bulb to see if it a screw type or a bayonet type, in order to replace it with a new one.
If this is not correct try the Janome website for advice, they have a forum and an ask Jan section for problems etc.
