Offhook Voice Announce
Description
You can interrupt a busy extension when making an Intercom Call, and then use the Off-Hook Voice
Announce (OHVA) feature to make an announcement that only the called party can hear. You can also
transfer a held call to a busy extension after making the announcement using this feature. The called
party may optionally reply to (answer) an OHVA call.
Beginning with CPC Version 1.0, the busy party can reply to an offhook announcement with a text
message that displays on the announcing phone. Any one of the following messages can be selected.
Messages 6 to 9 and 0 have no default message text. All the messages can be changed through system
programming. (See “Set Text Message Replies” on page 108 for more information on setting Text
Message Replies).
Prior to the release of Version 1.0, it was not possible for a caller to activate the OHVA feature when a
call was placed to an available second or third Directory Number (DN) key. Beginning with Version
4.5, the calling party can activate the OHVA feature even when the second and/or third DN key is
available. Depending on how this feature has been programmed, the calling party hears one of three
different tones. Ring-Back Tone or Special Tone is heard when a call is placed to a “non-Voice Mail
assigned” extension. When a call is placed to a “Voice Mail assigned” number, Ring-Back Tone or
Busy Tone may be heard.
