The author presents a symmetry analysis and determines the conservation laws for the system of differential equations arising in the theory of nonlinear telegraph equations \[ u{^2}u'-4uu'u+3u'{^3}=0,\quad u{^2}v-3uu'v'+(3u'{^2}-uu)v=0 . \] In terms of Lie point symmetries according to the classification scheme of [\textit{G. M. Mubarakzyanov}, Izv. Vyssh. Uchebn. Zaved. Mat. 34, 99--106 (1963; Zbl 0166.04201)] this system has five Lie point symmetries \(\Gamma_1=\partial_x\), \(\Gamma_2=x\partial_x\), \(\Gamma_3=u\partial_u\), \(\Gamma_4=u\partial_v\), \(\Gamma_5=v\partial_v\) with the Lie algebra \(\{ 2A_1\oplus A_1 \}+A_2\). The symmetry \(\Gamma_4\) indicates that the dependent variable \(v\) can be replaced by the other dependent variable \(u\) and allows to construct the solutions of the system. By means of the substitutions \(u=\alpha\chi^p\), \(v=\beta\chi^q\), where \(\chi=x-x_0\) and \(x_0\) is the location of the putative movable singularity, the author performs the singularity analysis of the system with its interpretation in terms of the possibility of the existence of a subsidiary solution.
