Note: This feature requires system programming or a specific DBS 576 or DBS
576HD configuration, and may not be available. For information, see your system
administrator or DBS 576 and DBS 576HD dealer.
This feature (also known as Off-Hook Voice Announce [OHVA]) allows you to
make an announcement to a busy extension.
