2.6 Responding To A Subdued
Off-Hook Voice Announcement

through your handset receiver. The SOHVA call consists of
several short tone bursts followed by the SOHVA caller’s voice
giving you a message. Your distant on-line party cannot hear

telephone. Your installer can set the system to deliver either
tone-first or voice-first calling, although all systems have
