German term or phrase: ausloben
Specification of a cordless phone system.

• Ist eine anrufererkennungsabhängige Rufsignalisierung und Rufweiterleitung z.B. zum Anrufbeantworter ausgelobt (siehe Gerätebeschreibung oder Anleitung), ist diese zu prüfen.

• Ist eine zeitabhängige Rufsignalisierung und Rufweiterleitung z.B. zum Anrufbeantworter ausgelobt (siehe Gerätebeschreibung oder Anleitung), ist diese zu prüfen.

I can only find meanings like "offering as a prize" - nothing that makes sense in the context.

Can anyone help?

agree  TonyTK: This makes sense. You also see "Auslobung" in the context of "Produktauslobung", which I understand to mean "listing/labelling/specification".

agree  BrigitteHilgner: Warum sind die Leute nur so faul und werfen nicht einmal einen Blick ins kudoz Glossar?! Schönen Feierabend!

agree  oa_xxx (X): specify wasnt mentioned in the previous kudoz entry, I dont see how any of the answers suggested there would work in this context so good to have this added to the glossary too!
