SOS procedure
The SOS procedure operates as described below.
Press the SOS/Direct Dialing key é of the base station and the device immediately
dials.
You must press and hold the SOS/Direct Dialing key é of the handset to immediately
launch the function.
If you press the key briefly and do not hold it down, you must confirm with
an emergency call from being initiated inadvertently.
The first SOS number is dialed as soon as you press the SOS Direct Dialing key. At the same
time, the message "Emergency call being sent" is played back over the loudspeaker.
If the SOS call is answered, the called party automatically hears the message "This is an
emergency call." Your name is then announced after this message. You must have pro-
grammed the SOS key accordingly for your name to be announced (see page 22). This is
followed by the message "To answer the emergency call, please press key 5." If the called
party now presses key 5, you can converse with one another.
If the called party does not answer the call, for example, the called party is not at home
or his or her answering machine is on, the SOS procedure automatically dials the next SOS
number. In the following cases, the SOS procedure automatically calls the next SOS
number after 60 seconds:
u
The call is not answered
u
The answering machine for the selected SOS number is on
u
The SOS number is busy
The procedure is repeated up to four times. If none of the calls are answered, the SOS pro-
cedure is ended with an error tone.
Recipients of the emergency call must have their telephones set to tone dialing, otherwise
confirmation of the SOS call with key 5 will not be recognized.
– During the entire procedure, all SOS keys flash on all registered handsets and on
the base station. The message "Emergency call being sent" is displayed on the
handset that initiated the emergency call.
– If an internal call is also programmed, the SOS call can also be answered by an
internal user. The text "Emergency call" is displayed on all registered handsets and
i
the base station.
– You should perform a test run of the SOS procedure to ensure that SOS mode is
programmed correctly. The police, emergency services, or fire department must
not be used for a test run.
– Please note that the standby time of the handset will be reduced when SOS mode
is activated.
– The SOS LED lights up permanently when SOS mode is activated.
