Distress call

You can make a distress call to request assistance simply by pressing speed dial key
{III}, if you find yourself in serious difficulty. This key contains a distress list of
telephone numbers you have stored.
The unit dials the distress list numbers repeatedly until the other party answers.
When the other party answers, the unit plays your pre-recorded distress message
and the conversation can begin.
To use this feature, the following preparations are required:
– store distress numbers (4 numbers max.) to the distress list in speed dial key {III}
– record the distress message to ask for help (20 seconds max.)
– turn on the distress call feature

played to the other party. If the other party presses {1}
message, the distress message stops and the conversation can begin.
OR
■ If the other party is busy or does not answer within 60 seconds, even if
their answering device is activated, the unit automatically dials the next
distress number. The unit repeats the sequence of dialling the numbers in the
distress list, a maximum of 4 times. If nobody answers the distress call, the unit
will sound error tone and disconnect the call.
*1 This operation is only available using a touch-tone phone.
Important:
L You should perform a test run of the distress call procedure to ensure that the
distress call feature is set correctly. Public institutions such as the police,
rescue services, or fire brigade must not be used for a test run.
L When the distress call feature is turned on, speed dial key {III} on all registered
handsets and base unit lights up.
You can also store the intercom number to the distress list (4 numbers max. for
intercom numbers and outside party's numbers). When the intercom number is
dialled, the paged unit beeps and % flashes rapidly on the handset. The distress
message is not played back to the paging unit. If the paged party answers, the
conversation can begin as a usual intercom call.
