Emergency call

Emergency call
Your telephone features an emergency call function which is trig-
gered by pressing the SOS button at the back of the device for about
2 seconds.
If at least one emergency number has been configured and the
emergency call button is enabled, the telephone initiates the emer-
gency call when the SOS key is pressed for approximately 2 seconds.
The telephone will then emit an alarm tone and (if activated) send an
SMS with an individually configurable text to the (up to 5) saved
emergency number(s).
Next, the telephone will call the first of the saved emergency num-
bers. If the call is accepted, the telephone automatically switches to
hands-free mode. If the called party hangs up, the emergency call
function remains activated and the telephone dials the next emergen-
cy number. To stop the emergency call function, keep the hang up
key pressed down.
If the call is not accepted, the telephone calls the next saved emer-
gency number. If none of the emergency calls goes through (or if the
emergency call function is not stopped after the call), the telephone
repeats the cycle of calls to all emergency numbers three times.
While the telephone is calling one of the emergency numbers, the
number is displayed; as the call occurs in hands-free mode, you can
hear whether the called party picks up.
After an outgoing emergency call (regardless of whether accepted,
unsuccessful or interrupted), the telephone automatically accepts in-
coming calls and switches into hands-free mode. This allows contact
with an incapacitated person, even if the emergency call has already
ended. To close this function the telephone must be completely
turned off, then back on again.
