MANUAL SIGNALLING
[L VERSION ONLY]

station, regardless of the status of your phone (on-hook, off-hook, hands-
free, DND or ringing).
To send a signal to another station:
• Press the Manual Signalling (

ignated station.

OFF-HOOK VOICE ANNOUNCE

receive OHVA calls. The OHVA feature will work with intercom calls and
transferred calls.
To make an off-hook voice announcement:

When you are engaged on a call and you are using the handset, you may
want other people to hear the distant party’s voice over the speaker:
• Press the
LISTEN
key to turn on the speaker. The microphone is not in
use, so the distant party does not hear other parties present in your of-
fice.
• Press

again to turn the speaker off and resume private conver-
sation.
