1. Press and hold the button on the pendant or the
SOS
emergency button
on the telephone for three seconds. The telephone will beep loudly for 15
seconds. (If during this time the emergency
SOS
button on the phone, or
the button on the pendant is pressed for more than three seconds, the
emergency call will be cancelled. If the key is not pressed, the telephone
will dial out the emergency numbers automatically in speakerphone mode.
2. The telephone dials out the first emergency number (stored in the phone
book emergency location 1), and then announces the emergency message
continuously.
•
If during 60 seconds the called party acknowledges the call by pressing
0
on their phone, the speakerphone will be activated for 3 minutes.
•
If
0
is not pressed within 60 seconds, the TP170WP will terminate the
call, then after a further 30 seconds dial the next emergency number
automatically in speakerphone mode.
WARNING
1. If NO emergency numbers have been programmed, the telephone
will not dial anything. It will just beep loudly
for 15 seconds when
the SOS button on the phone or the button on the pendant is pressed.
2. The pendant must be within the range of the telephone to activate
the emergency feature. You should check that there are no structural
obstacles, heavy concrete walls between the pendant and the
telephone.
3. When the button on the pendant is pressed, the red light (LED) will
light up for as long as the key is pressed. If the led does not light up
it is necessary to replace the battery.
4. To cancel the emergency feature, press and hold the SOS button on
the telephone or the pendant for more than three seconds.
5. The emergency feature will automatically stop when all the emergency
numbers have been dialled twice or if the receiver presses 1 and 2
after the 0 key. (The reason for interrupting the call after 3 minutes
is for safety in case a receiving party presses 0 but for any reason is
unable to receive the message, in case of mobile phone drop out for
example).
Note: The emergency feature will automatically stop when all the
emergency numbers have been dialed or if the receiving party has pressed
0. When the receiver presses 1 and 2 after the 0 key, the unit will stay in
speaker mode or you can hang up the receiver.
6. The receiving party must use a tone dialing phone, (standard feature
on most telephones) to press “0”.
