Off-hook Call Announce
Off-hook Call Announce (OCA) enables you to complete a call to a
busy
digital telephone. Your
telephone must be programmed to either announce automatically or to announce after you press a
button on your dial pad. The destination telephone must be programmed to accept an OCA. The
announcement may be delivered over the handset or the speaker.
Handset OCA Announce can operate on any digital telephone. Speaker OCA requires the addition of
a special circuit board inside the DKT speakerphone.
