Receiving a Call
RED ALERT
®
camera telephones can be programmed to auto-answer incoming calls. The telephone will
automatically answer when the emergency telephone extension is dialed. It will then generate a pair of
triple
beep
tones and two-way, hands-free conversation can occur.
Disconnecting a Call
There are several methods that a RED ALERT
®
camera telephone can both manually and automatically
disconnect calls. The disconnect methods include the following:
•
Remote disconnect of an emergency call
—Called party transmits either a
##
or
*99
DTMF control
command.
•
Manual disconnect of an emergency call
—Press the
HELP
push button approximately 15 seconds
after the initial activation.
NOTE
: Pressing the
HELP
push button a second time within 10 seconds of initially activating the
call will have no effect on the telephone’s operation. This prevents an anxious or hurried
user from disconnecting the call prematurely (this feature can be disabled).
•
Manual disconnect of a non-emergency call
—Press the
CALL
or
ASSISTANCE
button a second
time.
•
Automatic disconnect:
•
all calls; loop current-drop disconnect
•
all calls; maximum call duration timeout (configurable from 1 minute to 4.5 hours)
•
all voice calls; call progress tones (i.e., busy signal/fast busy, or reorder tone) and, when enabled,
dial tone
Refer to the Disconnect Options section of this manual for factory defaults and available options.
Location Identification
The location identification feature allows the called party to quickly and easily locate the source of the
emergency call. The called party (typically the security operator) dials two zeros
00
when the calling
individual has pressed the
HELP
push button to obtain the telephone location. The RED ALERT
®
telephone detects the two zero-digit signals and transmits a three-digit DTMF location identification code.
This location code is displayed on a customer-provided DTMF decoder/display (see the ADA (Americans
with Disabilities Act) Programming section).
