2.8Receiving Subdued Off-Hook Voice Announcements (SOHVA)

2.8.1 HANDLING AN INCOMING SOHVA

This feature allows an intercom caller to break into your call by making an announcement through your handset receiver. With SOHVA, the announcement is delivered and responded to in a subdued manner that prevents the distant party from hearing either the announcement or the response. A tone alert precedes the announcement and is delivered to the handset receiver of the tele- phone ahead of the announcement.

You can respond to the announcement in a verbal or non-verbal manner. You deliver a verbal response by pressing and holding the MUTE button or appropriate interactive button and speaking into the handset.

•To respond to a SOHVA verbally,

1.SELECT AND HOLD MUTE.

2.SPEAK into handset. Distant party cannot hear your response.

3.RELEASE MUTE after response is complete to return to distant party.
