Operation
To set up Tandem Ringing:
1. Press the CALL key on the extension to be considered the master phone.
2. Press the Tandem Ringing key (PGM 15-07 or SC 851: 80).
3. Dial “1” to set the feature.
4. Enter the extension number to be considered the slave phone (the phone that will ring when
the master extension rings).
A confirmation tone will be heard.
5. Press SPK to hang up.
While the feature is active, if either the master or slave phone has placed a call, the other
phone will only be able to answer incoming calls - no calls can be placed until the other exten-
sion has hung up. For keysets, this will be indicated by “TANDEM OTHER USED” displayed
on the phone - single line telephones will hear a busy signal when the handset is lifted.
To cancel Tandem Ringing:
1. Press the CALL key on the extension to be considered the master phone.
2. Press the Tandem Ringing key (PGM 15-07 or SC 851: 80).
3. Dial “0” to cancel the feature.
