Emergency Ringdown/Hotline Service

The Emergency Ringdown or Hotline Service feature enables standard telephones to automatically
ring a designated extension by going off-hook. Electronic telephones cannot perform this feature, but
they can receive Emergency Ringdown or Hotline Service from standard telephones.
Emergency Ringdown is used in healthcare facilities, where it is used to assist
callers who may not be able to complete a call by dialling. An example of an
incoming Emergency Ringdown call is shown on the right. The calling [DN]
and "Ringdown" displays whether soft keys are ON or OFF.
This same feature is also known as Hotline Service and is often used for telephones in hotel/motel
lobbies.
