2.6 Receiving Subdued Off-Hook
Voice Announcements (SOHVA)
2.6.1 HANDLING AN INCOMING SOHVA
This feature allows an intercom caller to break into your call by
making an announcement through your handset receiver. The distant
party that you are currently talking to cannot hear the announcement
made by the SOHVA caller. You can respond to the SOHVA caller
either verbally, or non-verbally using Response Messaging.
To respond to a SOHVA verbally,
perform the following steps.
1. Select and hold REPLY.
2. Speak into the handset. The
distant party cannot hear
your response.
3. Press REPLY after response
is complete to return to dis-
tant party.
To respond to a SOHVA non ver-
bally using Response Messaging, perform the following steps.
1. Select Message.
2. Select one of the messages
appearing in your LCD by
selecting the corresponding
interactive button. The mes-
sage then appears in the dis-
play of the endpoint making
the SOHVA.
3. Continue your current call
with distant party. (The sys-
tem automatically disconnects the SOHVA caller from your
endpoint).
