2.5. Announcement function
The Announcement function enables you to address other subscribers directly without
the subscriber having to pick up the handset. The other party’s telephone automatically
switches to hands-free mode. The microphone is not activated, so that an
announcement is only possible at on one end.
A short tone announces you to the other party, and you can then be heard over the
loudspeaker.
If the other party’s telephone is engaged, the call will go into hold mode whilst the
Announcement function is active. Once the announcement is finished, the call on hold
will automatically be set up again. The other party’s call on hold will become the active
call again.
Note:
This function can only be used after it has been assigned to a function key
(see chapter 2.10).
Tip:
The administrator can activate the microphone for return answers if
necessary.
Tip:
The administrator can block the Announcement function.
Note:
You must have been granted administrator rights in order to use the
Announcement function. The person you wish to contact must also be using
an innovaphone IP telephone.
