This section contains instructions to allow an arrangement in which calls from one

Individual Coverage or secondary Individual Coverage.
A sender can have calls covered by up to eight receivers, and a receiver (such as
a secretary) can provide Individual Coverage for more than one sender (up to
eight buttons on one receiver telephone). Any type of telephone can be a sender;
only a multiline telephone with programmable buttons available can be a receiver.
The receiver must have a programmed Cover button for each sender whose calls
are being covered.
NOTE: NOTE: NOTE:
See "Coverage" in the Feature Reference for additional information
regarding Coverage.
Calls on lines programmed for No Ring are not covered.
If a principal user is assigned, calls that would be sent to Group Coverage are
sent only to the principal's Group Coverage receivers. If the principal user has
Remote Call Forwarding on, calls are sent to an outside number rather than to the
coverage receivers.
