When you are in an alarm state, the alerting ring tone or vibration can be turned off by
selecting the
Silence alarm
option on the Features softkey menu. Only the
audio/vibration is stopped. The alarm state will continue until cleared. The flashing LED
continues until the alarm state is cleared.
Once an alarm state is reached, the user cannot retract the alarm but can cancel the
alarming state and return the handset to the monitoring state by selecting the
Clear
alarms
option on the Features softkey menu. Clear alarm returns the handset to the
monitoring state and sends an xml notification of the end of the alarm. If an emergency
call has been placed as well, the call must be terminated as would any call.
If the Duress alarm is activated, a similar process occurs as for running/tilt/still alarms
except there is no warning state and an emergency call is placed when the button is
pressed twice within two seconds or with one long press. An emergency call preempts
any existing active call. The emergency call is ended by pressing the END key or by the
far end hanging up. The handset remains in the alarm state until manually cleared by the
user.
