Announced Calls
Using the 
ANNO key
You can use the <ANNO> key to make a voice 
announcement to another phone in your facility, if that 
phone has a speaker. If the called phone is also equipped 
with a microphone, the called party can answer your call 
without picking up the receiver (hands-free) and the 
speaker is automatically activated. This allows the other 
party to speak to you without picking up the handset.
Note:
If the phone called is an analog phone, it rings. If 
it is a SelecSet, the called party hears your voice 
but must pick up the handset to converse.
