receiver of a concerned telephone is picked up during this period, the call is translated in-
to a normal connection.
System telephones can initiate a simplex operation call via the system telephone menu or
a programmed function key. If the simplex operation is initiated via a function key, notifica-
tions appear in the system telephone display as with a normal connection and the simplex
operation key LED is switched on. The simplex operation can be ended by renewed
pressing of the function key or by pressing the loudspeaker key. The LED switches off
again at conclusion of the simplex operation.
If a telephone or a system telephone is the destination of a simplex operation call, the
caller's number is indicated in the display. The simplex operation call is signalled over the
loudspeaker with an attention tone. Simplex operation can be terminated with the ESC
key.
A function key can also be configured on a system telephone to deny or allow simplex op-
eration calls.
Note
Simplex operation calls are automatically accepted by the called telephone
by enabling the hands-free function, if:
• the telephone is not in use
• simplex operation is allowed and
• the "Do not disturb" function (Call Protection) is disabled.
If a simplex operation connection is not ended by both subscribers, the con-
nection is automatically ended by the system after ca. 2 minutes.
Message
Do you wish to call your co-workers to a meeting or to a meal? You could call each of
them individually, or simply use the announcement function. With just one call, you reach
all the announcement-enabled telephones without subscribers having to pick up the re-
ceiver.
Caution
Although you can be heard with the announcement, you cannot hear any
comments your colleagues or family members make.
The announcement function allows you to set up a connection to another telephone
