Push-button and Test Alarms

Two different alarm types can be set for the handset's alarm button. An alarm can either be a Push-
button alarm with a personal alarm functionality or a Test alarm that is used to test the personal
alarm. Each of the alarms types is enabled by the user in one of the following ways: long press and
multiple press. The type of alarms and activation methods are configured by the system administrator.
For the details, please refer to the Mitel 5634 VoWi-Fi Handset Configuration Guide.
Depending on configuration, either press the Alarm button twice (default) or use the long press to send
out the alarm.
When the alarm is sent, a dialog window Personal Alarm (default text for multiple press) or Test
Alarm (default text for long press) is shown on the display. The alarm is sent to the alarm center that
distributes it further.
If configured in the WinPDM/WSM3/CPDM3 DM, an Acoustic Location Signal (ALS) is activated after the
alarm has been sent, refer to the
Silent Alarm
The silent alarm is intended for potentially hazardous environments and for situations where users do
not want people nearby to know that an alarm has been triggered, in order to not escalate the situation.
Silent alarms are accompanied neither by signals no other indications, giving the possibility to send an
alarm unnoticed.
