Coverage
To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 20.
Coverage allows calls to your extension to ring
elsewhere, so that they can be handled by
someone else. If your system has voice mail,
your calls can also be covered that way. There
are three types of coverage:
• Primary Coverage. If your calls are
covered this way, they ring immediately
at the covering phone.
• Secondary Coverage. The covering
phone rings after a delay of 2 rings,
giving you a chance to answer first.
• Group Coverage. Calls for a group of
people (coverage group) may be covered
by one or more people. Your system
manager can tell you how this works at
your office.
Covering phones are programmed with Cover
buttons used to answer calls for others. Delay
Ring on the covering phone can add a longer
delay before your calls ring there. If line
buttons on your phone are set to No Ring,
however, calls on those lines are not covered.
(See Rings, p. 2.)
To control coverage of inside calls, use these
programmable settings: Coverage Inside On
allows all your inside calls to ring elsewhere.
Coverage Inside Off turns inside coverage off.
You can also program buttons for these
Coverage features:
• Use a Coverage VMS button to prevent
or allow coverage of your outside calls
by a voice mail system. These calls may
still be covered by a person at another
extension.
• Use a Coverage Off button to turn off or
on all coverage of your calls.
