Off-Hook Voice Announce (OHVA)

TO PLACE AN OFF-HOOK VOICE ANNOUNCE CALL:

1. When placing an intercom

call to a busy OHVA-enabled

Inter-Tel phone, do not hang

up. You hear busy signals

until the Camp-On and OHVA

Screening timers expire. (If

you hear music after the

Camp-On timer expires, con-

ditions for an OHVA call

were not met and you are

camped-on. See page 180.)

2. When the OHVA Screening timer expires (and if the phone’s secondary voice path is

available), you are automatically connected to the called party’s speakerphone.

TO PLACE AN IMMEDIATE OFF-HOOK VOICE ANNOUNCE CALL (INTER-TEL PHONES WITH DSS/BLF

BUTTONS ONLY):

NOTE: This method can only be used if the database has been programmed to allow Inter-Tel

phones with DSS/BLF buttons to bypass the Camp-On and OHVA Screening timers.

1. When an intercom call is placed, using a DSS/BLF button, to a busy OHVA-enabled

Inter-Tel phone, do not hang up.

2. Press the DSS/BLF button for that phone again. If the phone’s secondary voice path is

available, you are immediately connected and may speak.

TO RECEIVE AN OFF-HOOK VOICE ANNOUNCE CALL (OHVA-ENABLED INTER-TEL PHONES ONLY):

1. While on a call using the handset, you hear a camp-on tone. The display shows CALL

ANNOUNCE FROM (username). Do nothing. When the OHVA Screening timer

expires, you hear a double tone. You are connected with the intercom caller via the

speakerphone. Your original call remains connected on the handset.

NOTE: If you press while speaking to the caller on the speakerphone, the

handset microphone will be muted and the caller on the handset will not hear you or the

OHVA caller. Press again to enable the handset.

2. To terminate the OHVA call: Press the lit Speaker button or have the OHVA caller

hang up. If you terminate the original call by hanging up the handset, you remain con-

nected to the OHVA call in the handsfree intercom mode.

TO BLOCK AN OFF-HOOK VOICE ANNOUNCE CALL (OHVA-ENABLED INTER-TEL PHONES ONLY):

1. While on a call using the handset, you hear a camp-on tone. The display shows CALL

ANNOUNCE FROM (username). To cause the intercom call to camp on, press the

Speaker button. The button flashes.

2. If you wish to send Do-Not-Disturb signals to the camped-on call, press the but-

ton.
