Voice Announce to Busy is available only on multiline telephones. The feature is
automatic on an MLX telephone. An analog multiline telephone requires an
additional extension jack for the feature.
MLC-5, MDC 9000, and MDW 9000 cordless and cordless/wireless telephones
cannot receive voice-announced calls. However, Voice Announce to Busy is not
automatically turned off for this type of telephone. If a multiline telephone user
tries to make a voice-announced call to a cordless telephone on which Voice
Announce to Busy has not been turned off, the cordless telephone beeps. The
user can then answer the call using the handset.

Voice Announce to Busy should be disabled at digital data workstations.
At a passive-bus MLX telephone, Voice Announce to Busy requires one
of the B-channels needed for a 2B video call and should be used only
when the video system is not active on, or receiving, a call.
Coverage
An inside voice-announced call is not sent to coverage because, if the
sender’s speakerphone is available, the call is answered as soon as it is
made. If the sender’s speakerphone is in use, the call is converted to a
ringing call and sent to coverage.
Do Not Disturb
A user with Do Not Disturb on does not receive voice announcements.
HFAI
When Voice Announce to Busy is turned on, HFAI is disabled.
Microphone Disable
Users who are on their telephones and whose microphones are disabled
can still hear a voice-announced call over the speakerphone. They must
press the button with the incoming call and use the handset to talk to the
caller.
Multi-Function
Module

attached to an MFM.
