60 seconds in the following situations:
•
The answer machine of the emergency number selected is activated
•
The emergency number is busy
•
The telephone of the person receiving the emergency call is not set to "tone dialling".
This process is repeated a maximum of 5 times. If none of the calls are accepted, the
emergency function is ended with an error tone.
The telephone of the person receiving the emergency call must be set to tone
dialling, otherwise the acceptance of the emergency call using the key 5 is not

In some bases, the confirmation of the emergency call is not passed on to the
connected handset by pressing the key 5. The emergency function is not possible in
this case. You may require an up-to-date firmware version for your base. Details
