In the Emergency function, the phone expects that the other end presses the "5" key after the connec- tion is established. This prevents a connection to an answering machine or voice service being accepted as a successful emergency call. If at least one emergency number is entered in the configuration and the emergency key is enabled, the phone initiates an emergency call when the emergency key is pressed for 2 seconds or so.
Whilst the telephone is calling one of the emergen- cy numbers, the number is displayed. Since the call is made in hands-free mode, you can hear whether the called party picks up. After an SOS is triggered, the phone automatically accepts incoming calls and switches to hands-free mode.
Emergency call configuration To configure emergency calling, it must be enabled and the emergency numbers must be entered. With the phone in standby, select the left Display key, then "Settings" in the main menu and then "Emergency settings". This is where all the settings for configuring emergency calls are.
If you enter as emergency numbers phones which cannot receive SMS messages, the service provider calls the subscriber and reads out the SMS. This call would block the emergency number telephone at the very moment the mobile telephone is trying to make the emergency call.
Important information on emergency functions Do not rely exclusively on this emergency func- tion. The emergency function cannot be enabled in certain situations (such as no network cover- age or no credit for outgoing calls). Make sure that no answer machines are con- nected to emergency numbers.
