3.11 Making A Subdued Off-Hook
Voice Announcement (SOHVA)
You can make a subdued voice announcement to another station that is
off-hook and busy on a call if the system is arranged to provide this
feature. Your telephone provides a SOHVA button for this purpose. You
decide whether to deliver a SOHVA message, camp on at that station, set
a message-waiting indicator, or hang up when you hear an intercom busy
tone.
• Make a SOHVA announcement using the SOHVA button as
follows:
1. Make intercom call and hear busy tone.
2. Decide whether to interrupt or not.
3. If you decide not to interrupt the called party, hang up,
—OR—
to interrupt, press preprogrammed SOHVA button and hear several
quick tone bursts.
5. Make announcement (busy tone means that the called telephone is
in speakerphone mode and you cannot make announcement, that
your SOHVA has been denied through system programming, or
that the called party has blocked your SOHVA).
6. Wait on line for verbal reply.
NOTE: The caller cannot control how the announcement is received.
This depends upon the equipment used and station
programming.
