I always make sure my partner knows the plan. When up there I won't say safe but will just pull rope and rethread and then confirm that they've got me and have taken in any slack before I come off the anchor.

As for calling "safe", my phrase is typically: "I'm safe *name of partner*". This limits confusion with other parties and contrasts enough from the high pitched and desperate sound of TAKE!

On a related point, one thing that really shits me at Hardrock in Melbourne is that they've started telling climbers to say "safe" when they want/are ready to be lowered. Its so stupid and completely counter intuitive and all I can hope is that beginners heading outdoors have enough sense to figure out this is bad practice.
