This process is repeated a maximum of 5 times.
If none of the calls are accepted, the

Once the emergency function has been activated, the emergency key on the handset

To accept the call please press key 5.

If the person receiving the call presses the key 5, you can now speak to one another.
If the person receiving the call does not accept the call,
the emergency function automatically

emergency function also automatically switches to the next emergency number after
60 seconds in the following situations:
•
The answer machine of the emergency number selected is activated

"Sending emergency call"
is shown in the display.
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
recognised.
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
