Off-hook Call Announce (OCA)
This feature enables you to call and speak through the handset or speaker of an busy,
off-hook telephone. The called station must be set in system programming for this
feature to work. The calling station can be set in system programming for OCA to
occur automatically when calling a busy station or by dialing an access code after
receiving busy tone. Automatic OCA only functions on Voice First Signaling systems.
Your telephone can receive Speaker Off-hook Call Announce (SP-OCA) calls which
enables callers to make an announcement through the speaker of your telephone when
it is off-hook. Your telephone must be equipped with optional hardware.
When you receive an OCA call while you are on another call, you hear a short
warning tone followed by an announcement through your telephone speaker.
Stations in the DND mode cannot receive OCA calls unless
the calling station is programmed for DND Override.
While on a speaker OCA call,
0,& and 0&2 can be used to
prevent an OCA caller from listening to your conversation with the original party (see
“Microphone Cut-Off” on Page 52).

you receive a busy
tone.
