Some of the VT500 manuals are still available from HP/Compaq, but the
catalog[1] doesn't list hardware manuals for them.

At a guess, it's either for the EZ-SetUp cartridge, which enabled admins
to configure terminals without wading through the set-up screens, or it
could be for cartridges for other emulations. I know that other
emulations, including IBM terminals, were planned, but I don't know
whether they shipped.
