MAKING ANNOUNCEMENTS TO BUSY EXTENSIONS

Note: This feature requires system programming or a specific DBS 576
configuration, and may not be available. For information, see your system
administrator or DBS 576 dealer.
This feature (also known as Off-Hook Voice Announcement) allows you to make an
announcement to a busy extension.
If party you called is using a digital key telephone, the announcement is heard only
by the called party, not by the other party he or she is talking to. If, however, the
party you called is using a single-line telephone, both the called party and the party
he or she is talking to will hear the announcement.
To make an announcement
1. Pick up the handset or press ON/OFF.
2. Dial the extension number.
3. Press 8 if you hear the busy tone.
4. Make your announcement. (Your voice is heard on the extension, not on the other
line.)
