Emergency call
57
not accepted, the phone calls the next emergency number stored. If a
connection to a person cannot be established on any of the emer-
gency numbers, the phone repeats up to three times in succession all
emergency numbers entered.
If confirmed emergency call is not set, the emergency call is ended
after a connection is established. No more emergency numbers are
then called.
Whilst the telephone is calling one of the emergency numbers, the
number is displayed. Since the call is made in hands-free mode, you
can hear whether the called party picks up.
After an outgoing emergency call (regardless of whether accepted
and acknowledged, unsuccessful, not acknowledged or interrupted),
the phone automatically accepts incoming calls and switches to
hands-free mode. This allows contact with an incapacitated person
even if the emergency call has already ended. Prolonged pressing of
the red hang up key
exits this function.
Note:
Emergency calls are generally made with SIM1 with no
prompt.
Testing the emergency call function
Thoroughly test the emergency function after configuration. This pro-
cess should involve the owner of the Ergophone and those whose
numbers are stored in the phone.
During the test, remember that the user of the phone is in a stressful
situation when making the emergency call. Those receiving the
emergency call should therefore be familiar with using the emergency
function so as to be able to issue instructions as required (such as on
how to end the emergency call function).
