Answer an Alarm Call
If your handset is set up as the recipient of alarm (emergency) calls, you receive alarm calls when someone
presses the
Emergency
button on their handset. Alarm calls can be set up to ring one handset or
a number of handsets.
When an alarm call rings, you hear a different ringtone and your handset indicates that you have an alarm
call. If you accept the call, the alarm is saved in the Alarms list. If you reject the call, the alarm isn't saved in
the Alarms list.
Procedure
Press
Ok
to answer the call or press
