Chapter 4: Using Telephony Applications
The handset enables multiple ways of making calls and several options for handling incoming calls.
Making Calls
There are several ways to make a call. When you hear a dial tone, and a call starts ringing, the handset is in the
active mode. Once a call starts ringing, the Session Manager opens and the ringing icon will display at the left side of
the call cell. You may abort the call by pressing the
End
key.
Making an Emergency Call
Warning: Power failure may prevent call functionality
Your handset may not function in the event of a power failure as it relies on the greater computer network
to transmit calls. You will have a red “X” over the signal bars if the wireless system is down. You will have a
registration failure icon if the handset cannot make or receive calls, but there may be a time delay between the
system failure and the appearance of the registration failure icon. Check with your system administrator to see if
the wireless telephony system is protected from power outages.
Emergency calls can be programmed by the system administrator. Check to see which of these features is available.
Settings: Emergency calling options while the keypad is locked
If configured in your facility, you could have one of these options available for making an emergency call while the
keypad is locked:
•
A Speed Dial key. Press Features > Speed Dial and select the emergency number.
•
A New Call softkey opens an Authorized Call menu with up to five numbers listed that can be dialed by scrolling to
select and pressing OK or by pressing the corresponding keypad number.
•
The PTT button on the left side of the handset can be configured to make an emergency call. Press it once to test
this functionality. If configured for emergency dial, a popup will explain that if you press the key twice within 2
seconds, an emergency call will be placed.
Use the Speed Dial option:
If the keypad is locked, this option is replaced by a New Call softkey which lists up to five emergency numbers that
can be dialed.
