2.6Responding To A Subdued Off-Hook Voice Announcement

Your installer can set your LCD speakerphone to receive a Subdued Off-Hook Voice Announcement (SOHVA). This feature allows an intercom caller to break into your call by making an announcement through your handset receiver. (This means that if you are on a speakerphone call, you cannot receive a SOHVA call.) The distant party that you are currently talking to cannot hear the announcement made by the SOHVA caller.

Please note that you can receive a SOHVA call even if you are using your headset; however, the distant party may be able to hear the SOHVA as it is made.

•You can respond to a SOHVA in one of three ways:

•Verbally: Press and hold the REPLY button and speak into handset. Distant party cannot hear response. To return to distant party after your reply is complete, release the REPLY button.

•Non-verbally (Response Messaging): If the announcing station has an LCD speakerphone, press MESSAGE, then select one of the messages appearing in your LCD by pressing the corresponding interactive button. The message you select appears in the display of the telephone making the SOHVA call and then that telephone is automatically disconnected from your telephone. (If the telephone to which you attempt to send a non-verbal message is not an LCD telephone, no message is sent and that station is immediately disconnected from the call.)

•Blocking the SOHVA: You can block a SOHVA to your station by pressing BLOCK when the SOHVA is initiated. The SOHVA call is then disconnected.
