MANUAL SIGNALLING
Use this feature when you want to send a brief 500ms ring burst to another sta-
tion, regardless of the status of your phone (on-hook, off-hook, handsfree, DND, or
ringing).
To send a signal to another station:
•
Press the Manual Signalling (MS) key.
•
You may press the MS key repeatedly to send multiple signals to the desig-
nated station.
NOTE: Your phone must have a Manual Signalling (MS) key with a station
number extender assigned to it.
OFF-HOOK VOICE ANNOUNCE
Keysets may receive a voice announcement while on another call. The calling sta-
tion must have an OHVA key.When you are in DND, you cannot receive OHVA calls.
The OHVA feature will work with intercom and transferred calls.
When you receive an OHVA and secure OHVA is ON, you will hear the announce-
ment in the handset receiver, if you are using the handset. If secure OHVA is OFF
then you will hear the announcement on the speaker, if you are talking on the
handset. If you are using the speakerphone the announcement will always be
heard through the speaker.
To make an off-hook voice announcement:
•
Dial the extension number or press the DSS key.
•
When you receive a busy signal, press the OHVA key.
•
After the attention tone, begin speaking.
•
Finish the call by replacing the handset or pressing the ANS/RLS key.
•
Press the flashing CALL button on your keyset. This will place the original
party on hold and allow you to talk to the announcing party.
•
To return to your first party, press the key corresponding to your original call.
This will disconnect the OHVA call.
NOTES:
1.
When you are voice announcing to a station close to you, use the handset to
avoid an echo effect.
2.
You cannot off-hook voice announce to single line telephones.
If your keyset is associated with a DCS 32 Button Add-On Module, you can receive
Executive OHVA calls. Executive Off-Hook Voice Announce allows you to engage in
conversation on your keyset and simultaneously receive and reply handsfree to an
OHVA through your DCS 32 Button Add-On Module (AOM). Use caution because

If your keyset is assigned to a station ring group, you can remove your keyset from
the group and then put it back in. While you are out of the group, you can receive

which groups you will receive calls.
