Setup
How does SOS emergency call work?
• To make an emergency call, press and hold
SOS
on the right side of the cordless handset
for three seconds. The telephone base announces “
Emergency mode is activated
“ and
the cordless handset screen shows
SOS mode
. The telephone then calls the preset SOS
numbers in sequence until the call is answered.
-
You can enable internal SOS calls (see page 16). The telephone makes intercom calls to all the
registered system devices when you press and hold
SOS
. If none of the devices answer the call in 20
seconds, the telephone then calls the preset SOS numbers in sequence until the call is answered.
-
If you disable internal SOS calls, the telephone calls the preset SOS numbers directly when you
press and hold
SOS
on the cordless handset.
• When the call is answered, the call receiver hears an SOS message. You can record your
own message or use the default message (see page 17).
• The SOS message played by the telephone asks the SOS call receiver to respond by
pressing a number key. After the call receiver presses a number key, you can then talk to
the call receiver.
• When the SOS emergency call is answered by answering machine or voicemail, the call
will be terminated after 60 seconds. The telephone then dials the next SOS number in
sequence.
• When none of the preset SOS numbers answer, the telephone re-calls the preset SOS
numbers in sequence until the call is answered. The telephone will call all the preset SOS
numbers for 3 times before aborting the operation when none of the calls are answered.
