Emergency function – direct dialling key
;
Your Gigaset E500A is equipped with four additional keys (
;
-
>
) on the base
and handset. Only the
direct dialling key
;
can be labelled with a special
emergency function ("SOS key"). You can use this to ask friends or neighbours
for help in an emergency.
How the procedure works
¤
You trigger the emergency call on the
base
or
handset
by pressing the
direct dialling key
;
.
This sequence is repeated up to a maximum of three times.
If none of the
calls is accepted, the emergency function concludes with an error tone.
Please note
When the emergency function is activated, the SOS key on the handset and
base is permanently illuminated!
The recipient of your emergency call hears an SOS announcement consisting
of two or three parts.
u
Text part 1 (default):
"This is an emergency call"
u
Text part 2 (only if you have recorded a personal SOS announcement).
u
Text part 3 (default):
"To accept the call please press key 5"
If the called party now presses key 5, you can talk to one another.
Å
If the called party does not take the call,
the emergency function automati-
cally dials the next emergency number after 60 seconds
(if more than one
number is saved). In addition, the emergency function automatically
switches to the next emergency number in the following situations:
u
The answering machine for the selected emergency number is
switched on
u
The emergency number is busy
u
The emergency call recipient's phone is not set to "tone dialling".
Please note
If you
trigger an emergency call accidentally
, you can cancel it by pressing
the end call key
