Call Coverage Keys
Description
A keyset can have Call Coverage Keys for a co-worker’s extensions, Ring Group master numbers and UCD
Group master numbers. The Call Coverage Key lights when the co-worker’s extension is busy,
fl
ashes slowly
when the co-worker has an incoming call, and
fl
ashes fast when the co-worker is in Do Not Disturb. The Call
Coverage Key can ring immediately when a call comes into the covered extension, ring after a delay or not
ring at all. In addition, the keyset user can press the Call Coverage Key to intercept their co-worker’s incom-
ing call. They can also go off hook and press the Call Coverage key to call the covered extension. An exten-
sion can have as many Call Coverage Keys as they have available Feature Keys on their telephone.

Call Coverage Guard Timer
The 4 second Call Coverage Guard Timer helps extensions that have the same Call Coverage key assign-
ments. As soon as an extension user presses their Call Coverage key to answer a call, the key becomes
unavailable for 4 seconds to all other extensions with that same key. (Users will hear reorder tone if they
press their key before the 4 seconds expire.) This helps prevent users from inadvertently placing a call to the
covered destination.
Conditions

Default Setting
• No Call Coverage Keys assigned.

Call Coverage keys allow an extension user to cover a co-worker’s calls from their own telephone.
