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 can operate on any digital telephone. Speaker OCA requires the
addition of a special circuit board inside the speakerphone.
