							2-202Off-Hook Voice Over
Features and Operation

The calling OHVO station is not connected or able to hear the called station’s 
conversation (the connection only allows the calling station to transmit to the called 
station).
To respond to an Off-hook Voice Over:
After receiving an OHVO announcement, three options are available to respond to the caller:
Option 1 -- This method lets the receiving station respond to an OHVO announcement 
utilizing the MUTE feature button. This button is pressed to carry on a two-way conversation 
with the OHVO initiator while still listening to the original call.
Option 2 -- The OHVO receiving station may respond to the calling station by using the Silent 
Text Messaging (this feature is only available to digital key telephones, and the calling station 
must be a digital display telephone).
The OHVO receiving station may press a preprogrammed Message button to respond to the 
voice over announcement without being released from the current call (e.g., by pressing a 
flexible button preprogrammed for the message IN MEETING, the calling station receives this 
message on the LCD display). Refer to “Personal Messages” on page 2-210 and to “Te x t 
Messaging (Silent Response)” on page 2-273.
Option 3 -- The OHVO receiving station may respond to the calling OHVO station by using 
the Camp On feature. The OHVO receiving station presses the flashing HOLD button to 
consult with the calling station. The existing call (CO line) goes on Exclusive Hold 
automatically. This method then follows Camp On procedures and operation.

SINGLE LINE TELEPHONE
Not applicable
Conditions
» The station must be in H or P mode to enable this feature.
» The station receiving the OHVO call MUST be off-hook and in H or P mode.
» The receiving station must have OHVO enabled.
» When the receiving station responds via Camp On, all conditions and options available to 
Camp On apply. (Refer to “Camp On” on page 2-49 for more information).
» OHVO may be used to notify the receiving station of a transferred call (CO Line or 
Intercom) by announcing the call, then releasing to complete the transfer. When this 
occurs, the receiving station need not respond to the OHVO.
» When a call is transferred via OHVO, the receiving station receives muted ringing after the 
transfer is complete.
» Any messages including Canned, Custom, or Silent Response text messaging may be 
used to respond to an OHVO call. The message appears on the calling station and 
receiving station LCD displays.
» If the calling station is a non-LCD telephone, the receiving station receives an error tone 
when responding via text messaging.
The calling station is placed in a one-time DND mode upon initiating the Voice 
Over. One-Time DND cannot be toggled during the OHVO call. The station receiving 
the OHVO call must be off-hook and in H mode. 
						

							Outside Calls2-203
Features and Operation
» The called station may press a flexible button programmed as a Text Message button, 
[633+#]. Press this flexible button and dial the 2-digit message number (31-51) to 
respond to the calling station. DTMF digits are not heard by either party.
» When silent messaging is used to respond to an OHVO call, the existing call on the 
receiving station is not disconnected while the messages are being sent to the calling 
station.
» The calling station of an OHVO call must remain off-hook to receive silent messages. The 
calling stations voice transmit remains connected to the receiving station and may 
respond verbally to the text messages. The OHVO call ends when calling station goes 
on-hook.
» If the receiving station is on-hook in speakerphone mode and a calling station initiates 
OHVO, the receiving station receives a Camp On warning tone and normal Camp On 
procedures are followed.
» The receiving station may send a message, and then press MUTE to talk to the calling 
station. Each time a message is sent, the splash tone sounds and both displays are 
updated.
» LEDs follow Camp On LED lamp sequences.
» OHVO does not function if receiving station is in Group Listening Mode.
» Only one station at a time can be programmed when using a flexible station number.
