Responding To A Subdued Off-Hook Voice Announcement - Comdial Scout II User Manual

4.5 Responding to a Subdued
Off-Hook Voice Announcement
Your installer can arrange your telephone to receive a subdued off-
hook voice announcement (SOHVA) call. This calling method
allows an intercom caller to break into your current call and make an
announcement to you that only you can hear through your handset
receiver. The SOHVA call consists of several short tone bursts fol-
lowed by the SOHVA caller's voice giving you a message. Your
distant on-line party cannot hear the SOHVA call.
If your installer has programmed one of the function buttons F1–F4
on your telephone as a SOHVA button, you can press it to respond
verbally to the SOHVA call. Alternately, you can use a Response
Message button to respond to the SOHVA call in a non-verbal
manner or you can ignore the SOHVA call. The SOHVA caller must
be using an LCD speakerphone to receive your non-verbal response.
(For further information about response messaging, refer to Section
9.3, Sending Response Messages and Section 10.5, Programming the
Response Message Button).
To respond verbally to a SOHVA call,
1. hear the SOHVA voice announcement,
2. press and hold the installer-programmed SOHVA button and
speak into your handset (your distant party cannot hear your
response),
3. release the SOHVA button after your response, and return to
the distant party.
