Responding To A Secure Off-Hook
Voice Announcement
Your telephone can be set up to receive a Secure Off-Hook Voice
Announcement (SOHVA). This feature allows an intercom
caller to break into your call if you am using the handset. They
do this by making an announcement through your handset
receiver. This means that if you am on a speakerphone call, you
cannot receive a SOHVA call; however, you will hear a ring burst
and can go off-hook to receive a SOHVA call.
The Secure Off-Hook Voice Announcement consists of several
short tone bursts and then a message that you hear in your handset
receiver. The distant party that you am currently talking to cannot
hear the announcement made by the SOHVA caller.

[
[
You can respond to a SOHVA call in one of two ways:
l Verally : Press and hold MUTE button down and reply
by speaking into handset. Distant party cannot hear
response. Release button to return to distant party.
l Non-verbally: (Response Messaging): If the announcing
station has an LCD speakerphone, press MSG (message)
then press HVHLD (have them hold), TKMSG (take a
message), or CLBK (I will call back) to send the appropriate message. Autodial buttons can be programmed
to use any of the 10 attendant-programmable LCD messages.
The message appears in the display of the telephone
making the SOHVA announcement and then that
telephone is automatically disconnected from your
telephone.
a non-verbal message is not an LCD telephone, that sta-
tion is immediately disconnectedfrom the call.)
(If

You can also block a SOHVA to your station by pressing BLOCK
when the SOHVA is initiated. The SOHVA call is then discon-
nected.

Dialing Automatically
This feature provides one- or two-button autodialing using
programmable buttons at which you have previously stored numbers. Two levels of number storage are available at each storage
location. You can use one or both levels as needed. Further, a
line choice is usually stored as part of an autodial number so that
line selection is automatic with autodialing. Actual button
programming is discussed in a separate section of this user’s
guide. Refer to it when you are ready to store numbers at the
programmable buttons.
Speed dialing is autodialing using the keypad buttons. There are
two types of speed dial numbers: (1) numbers that you store for
your own use (personal speed dial numbers), and (2) numbers
that are stored by the system attendant for everyone’s use (system
speed dial numbers).
To automatically dial a number (while telephone is on-hook),

Making Intercom Calls
You can dial an intercom call manually from the keypad or
automatically using a direct station select (DSS) button that you
have previously programmed. There are two methods for making
an intercom call. One causes your voice to sound out at the called
telephone. The other causes the called telephone to ring. Your
system programmer can set the system to deliver either tone-first
or voice-first calling, although all systems have tone-first as the
default condition.
Keep in mind that whatever the system setting is, a called party
can set a voice announce block condition at his or her telephone
to prevent all voice announce calls.
(The following instructions assume a tone-first default setting.
Any user can change a call to voice signalling for that call simply
by pressing the ITCM button again after dialing the extension
number or by pressing the DSS button again.)
To manually cause the other telephone to ring (tone calling),
l press ITCM,
l dial extension number (called telephone will ring).

An Automatic Callback
If the telephone you have called on the intercom line is busy or

before).
To camp on at a busy station,
l press CAMP.
Your telephone immediately hangs up. When the telephone you
called becomes idle, your telephone will ring with five short tone
bursts. When you hear this,
l press ITCM. The other telephone will start ringing.
If you do not press ITCM within the set time limit, the callback
is canceled at that time; however, you can cancel automatic
callback at any time before your telephone sounds the tone bursts.
To do this,
l press ITCM and dial # 6.
.
To camp on at a station for which you hear ringing but receive no
answer,
l dial +K 6. Callback will occur after any activity is in-
itiated at dialed station. You may cancel the camp-on
condition at any time by pressing ITCM and dialing # 6.
NOTE:
If
you make a call in the voice-announce mode and receive no
amwer at the called station, press ITCM before dialing t 6 in
order to camp on ot that station.
