OFF-HOOK VOICE ANNOUNCING (OHVA) 
While engaged on another call, a keyset can receive voice announcements 
(OHVA calls) from other keysets via the handset or speaker. OHVA calls, 
however, cannot be received if a keyset is in DND mode or has an OHVA 
Block set (see below). The OHVA feature will work with internal and trans-
ferred calls. 
n 
MAKING OHVA CALLS  
To make OHVA calls to a busy extension you must have an OHVA key.  
1.  Dial the extension number or press the DSS key for the extension. 
2.  When you receive a busy signal, press the OHVA key. 
3.  After the attention tone, begin speaking. 
4.  Finish the call by replacing the handset or pressing the ANS/RLS key. 
Note: 
•  If you are voice announcing to an extension close to you, use the handset to 
avoid an echo effect.  
•  You cannot announce to single line telephones. 
n 
RECEIVING OHVA CALLS  
If you receive an off-hook voice announcement, you will hear the announc e-
ment in the handset receiver or over the keyset speaker while you are talking 
on your current call. 
•  Press the flashing CALL key. This will place the current call on hold and 
allow you to talk to the announcing party. 
•  To return to your original call, press the key corresponding to your origi-
nal call. This will disconnect the OHVA call. 
Note: With ‘L’ version systems, you can set your keyset to receive OHVA calls via 
the handset only. (See Secure OHVA in the section “Customising Your Keyset.”) 
You can also reply to an OHVA call with a text message. (See Text Messaging in 
the section “Display Features.”)
