For example, if an outside call on line 1 is sent to extension 135, but 
extension 135 is busy or does not answer, the call will ring at the covering 
phone and “TRK #01> 135” will appear on the covering phone’s display.

If two extensions are designated as covering phones and one of them is in 
DND, the second will receive the call.

Call coverage assignments are controlled through system programming, 
rather than from individual extensions. 

For extension-controlled routing of unanswered calls, see “Call Forwarding” 
on page 4-11.

• FF3 (Extension): Offhook Signal

• FF4 (Ringing and Hunt Groups): Call Coverage Group Member Table

• Up to sixteen Call Coverage Groups can be programmed into your system. 

A Call Coverage Group can have up to two covering phones and up to six 
extensions.

• A member of one Call Coverage Group cannot belong to another Call 

Coverage Group or to a Hunting Group.

• A Single-line telephone (SLT) or Digital Single Line telephone (DSLT) 

can be a member of a coverage group, but cannot be a covering phone.

• Calls to an extension in DND do not cover.

• Calls to an extension with Call Forwarding activated do not cover.

• If the Call Forwarding feature or the Absence Message feature is activated 

for covering phone No. 1, covering phone No. 2 will “cover” the other 
extensions in the group.

• Voice intercom calls do not activate call coverage. Only tone intercom 

calls can activate call coverage.
