Intercom Operation

Using Off Hook Voice Announce

To make an off hook voice announcement:

1Make an intercom call to another ext. that is busy on an outside call.

2After you hear the confirming tone, you may make your announcement and your voice will be heard through the speaker at the called station.

Your EPIC telephone will allow you to make an intercom call to another station, even if that sta- tion is busy on an outside call. Your voice will be heard through the speaker of the called station without interrupting their call in progress.

Note: If the station you are calling is busy on the speakerphone or has blocked Off Hook Voice Announcements, you will still be able to alert the station with a single ring, but you will not be able to make your voice announcement.

To respond to an off hook voice announcement:

1Press the flashing INTERCOM but- ton. The outside call is automatical- ly placed on hold.

2Press the LINE button of your out- side call at any time to return to that call.

You may respond to an Off Hook Voice Announcement by pressing the flashing INTER- COM button. You will be connected to the other station on the intercom, and the outside call will automatically be placed on hold. When you wish to return to the outside call, press its LINE but- ton, and the intercom call will be disconnected.

Blocking off hook voice announcements at your telephone:

If you wish, you may block Off Hook Voice Announcements at your telephone.

To do so, press PROGRAM, then press the soft key under NEXT repeatedly until “Intercom Prefs” appears in the display, and then press ENTER. Press the soft key under NEXT until “OHVA” appears in the display, along with the current setting. Press the soft key under CHANGE if you wish to change the setting. The choices are OHVA: ALLOWED (factory setting), and OHVA: BLOCKED. Press PROGRAM to exit.
