OFF-HOOK SIGNALING
Description:
This applies to calls with multiple-line appearances (those calls that ring on multiple phones). 
Off-Hook Signaling sends a tone to a busy extension to indicate that another CO call has arrived. 
Off-Hook Signaling applies to direct calls, Automatic Camp-Ons, and Manual Camp-Ons.
Benefits:
  The user knows when a second or third call is ringing in (especially helpful for the 
Attendant).
ON-HOOK DIALING
Description:
With this feature, station users can dial out without picking up the handset, by pressing the ON/
OFF key and then dialing the number. They’ll hear everything -- dial tones, DTMF signals, talk, 
etc. -- through the phone speaker. To take the call off speaker, just lift the handset.
Benefits:
  Easier dialing.
  Hands-free phone conversations on speakerphones.
OFF-HOOK VOICE ANNOUNCE (OHVA)
Description:
This is a type of barge-in that doesn’t include the outside party. A station user calls a busy 
extension and wants to break in. He or she dials a code, and is able to tell the busy extension of 
the important message through the handset. The busy extension user can (if desired) press a 
preprogrammed OHVA key to mute conversation to the outside party, and respond to the 
extension trying to relay the message. In the meantime, the outside party doesn’t hear what’s 
going on behind-the-scenes. To resume normal conversation with the outside party (and 
disconnect from the extension that broke in), simply press the OHVA key again. 
The calling party 
can also activate the OHVA feature even when the second and/or third DN key is available.
  Allows more flexibility for users who want to be alerted that there are other calls or 
important messages waiting, without putting the outside caller on hold.
  Confidentiality.
Applications:
  Boss/secretary relationship
ONE-TOUCH KEYS
Description:
ICX phones have several different types of keys that can be programmed to execute features or 
store frequently-dialled numbers. Instead of dialing a series of digits, the user can just press the 
key. There are FF-keys (with LEDs that flash red or green, indicating certain features or phone 
status), Labelled Keys (that perform a specific function such as Hold, Flash, Mute, etc.), Soft 
Keys 
(surrounding the phone’s LCD, that execute the feature name that’s displayed on the 
LCD), and One-Touch Feature Keys (solid one-touch keys, not available on some phones, that 
store additional feature codes or frequently-dialled numbers).
