Emergency Ringdown/Hotline Service

The Emergency Ringdown or Hotline Service feature enables standard telephones to automatically

ring a designated extension, after the ringdown timer expires, by going off-hook.

The Hotline Service feature is often used for telephones in hotel/motel lobbies. This same feature is

referred to as Emergency Ringdown in healthcare facilities, where it is used to assist callers who may

not be able to complete a call by dialling.

Note

Electronic and digital telephones cannot perform this feature, but they can receive Hotline

Service or Emergency Ringdown from standard telephones.

To make a hotline or emergency ringdown call

Lift the handset off-hook.

If your station is idle or busy on a call while another station tries to contact you, the calling station can

turn on the message waiting LED on your telephone. Your Message Waiting lamp flashes when there

is a message.

Up to four message waiting indications can be left at a station at any one time.

The designated station will automatically ring after the

ringdown timer expires.

If a valid feature access code or DN is dialled before the

ringdown timer expires, automatic ringdown does not occur.

An example of an incoming

Emergency Ringdown call to an

electronic or digital LCD telephone

is shown on the right. The calling [DN] and "Ringdown"

displays whether soft keys are ON or OFF.
