Off-Hook Call Announcement (Ohca) - Panasonic KX-TD500 Features Manual

General Features

Off-Hook Call Announcement (OHCA)

Description
OHCA allows the extension user to inform a busy extension (engaged in a call using the
handset) that another call is waiting by talking through the built-in speaker of the busy
extension's PT. If the existing call is performed over the handset, the second conversation is
made with the speakerphone so that the called extension can talk to two parties independently.
OHCA is performed the same way as Busy Station Signaling (BSS). It depends on the
telephone type of the called party whether BSS or OHCA is activated by the operation. If the
called extension is KX-T7130, KX-T7235 or KX-T7436, OHCA becomes active.
Conditions
• Call Waiting
OHCA is only effective when the called extension has set Call Waiting. If not, the caller
will hear a reorder tone after dialing the extension number.
• BSS / OHCA / Whisper OHCA
If an extension user dials "1" while hearing a busy tone, BSS or OHCA or Whisper OHCA
will be activated at the called extension.
This is determined by the following conditions.
