Off-hook Call Announce
Off-hook Call Announce (OCA) enables you to complete a call to a busy telephone.
Your telephone must be programmed to either announce automatically or to announce
after you press a button on your dial pad. The destination telephone must be
programmed to accept an OCA. The announcement may be delivered over the handset
or the speaker.
Handset OCA can operate on any digital telephone. Speaker OCA requires the
addition of a special circuit board inside the speakerphone.
To make an OCA call
Manual – Dial an extension. When you hear busy tone, press
5 and, after one long
tone, you can talk through the speaker of the destination telephone. The person you
are calling has answering options described below.
Automatic – If your telephone and the extension you are calling have been
programmed for Automatic OCA, you can talk through the speaker of the
destination telephone without hearing the busy tone and without dialing
5.
To answer a Handset OCA call
While you have a call in progress, you hear one tone in your handset to indicate that a
second station is calling.
Press Msg button to toggle between the new or original caller. Press and release
the
Msg button to talk to the new caller, then press and release the Msg button
again to return to the original caller.
The PDN flashing rapidly means talking to OCA caller; PDN flashing at a normal,
steady pace means talking to original caller. In both cases, neither caller can hear
the other. Your LCD indicates which station or CO line you are connected to.
To answer a Speaker OCA call
1. While you have a handset call in progress and you hear one tone, this indicates that
a second station is calling. The second caller connects to the speaker in your
telephone. The Spkr LED flashes and the Mic LED lights. You will be speaking to
the first caller through your handset and the second caller through the microphone.
2. To turn off your microphone speaker to the second party, you can press
Mic or
Microphn Cut-off; the Mic LED turns Off. You will no longer be talking to the
second caller, although he/she can still speak through your speaker.
3. Press
Mic or Microphn Cut-off again to reconnect to the second caller. You can
toggle as often as you choose. If you do not want the first caller to hear your
conversation with the second caller, cover the mouthpiece of your handset.
