Using Off Hook Voice Announce
Your EPIC telephone will allow you to make an
intercom call to another station, even if that sta-
tion is busy on an outside call. Your voice will be
heard through the speaker of the called station
without interrupting their call in progress.
Note: If the station you are calling is busy on the
speakerphone or has blocked Off Hook Voice
Announcements, you will still be able to alert the
station with a single ring, but you will not be able
to make your voice announcement.
You may respond to an Off Hook Voice
Announcement by pressing the flashing INTER-
COM button. You will be connected to the other
station on the intercom, and the outside call will
automatically be placed on hold. When you wish
to return to the outside call, press its LINE but-
ton, and the intercom call will be disconnected.
Blocking off hook voice announcements at your telephone:
If you wish, you may block Off Hook Voice Announcements at your telephone.
To do so, press PROGRAM, then press the soft key under NEXT repeatedly until “Intercom Prefs”
appears in the display, and then press ENTER. Press the soft key under NEXT until “OHVA”
appears in the display, along with the current setting. Press the soft key under CHANGE if you
wish to change the setting. The choices are OHVA: ALLOWED (factory setting), and OHVA:
BLOCKED. Press PROGRAM to exit.
