Making an emergency call

About this task
If your administrator configured emergency calling for your deskphone, the Phone screen displays
an Emerg softkey to immediately connect you with a preset emergency services number.
Note:
You can make an emergency call when your deskphone is logged out only if your administrator
configured this feature for you.
Important:
During phone failover, when the phone switches between system servers due to a system
failure, the Emergency softkey might not be available until your phone connects to an alternate
server. This process might take a few seconds.
Procedure
1. On the Phone screen, press Emerg.
2. Press Yes when the deskphone displays a prompt.
Some call servers call back to confirm the emergency status. The phone automatically
answers the incoming call on the speaker by going off-hook.
3. To end the emergency call, press End Call or press Speaker.
