Offhook Signalling

Description
Offhook Signalling sends a tone over the handset to a busy extension to indicate that a trunk call has
arrived or a call is camped-on. Prior to Version 5.0, users receiving an offhook signal during a
conversation had to end the call before answering an incoming call. Beginning with Version 5.0, users
receiving an offhook signal during conversation can press and release the hook quickly (hookflash) to
place the current call on hold and answer the incoming call.
Operation
After receiving an offhook signal during a call:
1. Complete the first call and place the handset on hook.
2. After the telephone rings, go off hook.
OR
1. Press and release the hook quickly (hookflash).
2. Press and release the hook quickly to go back to the
original call.
NOTE: The steps outlined above can be performed only when the necessary settings have been
programmed into the system.
