Basic functions
If during this time the triggering event is withdrawn for at least 2 seconds, the delay begins from the
start. The delay can be set separately for each alarm type.
Pre-alarm
This is the period of time during which an alarm tone – where activated – is signalled on the hand-
set before the alarm number is dialled. To deactivate the alarm tone (and therefore deactivate the
alarm), you need to press the Esc softkey. During the pre-alarm the display reading indicates the
amount of time remaining before the alarm number is dialled.
If during the pre-alarm the triggering event is withdrawn for at least 4 seconds in the case of "man-
down" and for at least 2 seconds in the case of the no movement alarm, the delay starts all over
again.
The escape alarm can only be withdrawn using the Esc softkey.
The time setting for the pre-alarm is made for all the alarm types.
Settings for other alarm parameters
Alarm number
If the SOS emergency number is predefined by the system, this menu item is not displayed.
If you always store the SOS emergency number preceded by the R-key feature (enquiry / hold), the
emergency call can also be made during a call (depending on the system / and handset – see
above). To enter the R-key feature, press the #-key three times (see also page 23).
If no alarm number is stored, the SOS emergency number is dialled as an alternative –where availa-
ble.
Alarm auto answer
If this function is activated, a call is answered automatically from any call number during the pre-
alarm.
If the function is deactivated and an incoming or existing call is in progress during the pre-alarm, the
alarm call number is dialled at the end of the pre-alarm.
Regardless of the setting, calls from the alarm number or SOS emergency number are answered
automatically and the pre-alarm is terminated.
Alarm tone
The pre-alarm can be sounded with or without an alarm tone on the handset. If the alarm tone is
activated, the signalling volume increases progressively.

Basic functions
or SOS emergency number (see previous section) and the Alarm Sensor feature is activated. The
handset supports the following alarms:
• "Mandown"
• No movement alarm
• Escape alarm
All three alarm types can be activated in parallel. The alarm number is the same for all alarm types. If
no alarm number is stored, the SOS emergency number of the emergency call key / SOS key is used
instead.
The alarm to be signalled is always the first alarm type to be recognised. Activated sensor alarms are
displayed using the
symbol on the first line of the display. To check which alarm is activated, use
the Active features menu (among others).
Make sure the handset is worn as freely as possible (on a belt clip, carry-strap, etc.), i.e. not in a
pocket, to ensure that the feature is able to operate reliably.
Mandown
The handset is normally worn more or less vertically, e.g. attached directly to the wearer’s belt clip. A
position check is carried out continuously to verify that the handset is still in the vertical position. If
the handset is detected as being at an angle of more than 45 degrees from the vertical, an alarm is
triggered after a predefinable amount of time as this may indicate an emergency.
No movement alarm
This alarm is triggered if the handset has been completely still for a user-definable amount of time
(no movement by the handset or the person carrying the handset). The sensor has three sensitivity
settings. To guarantee a reliable operation it is advisable to test the sensitivity of the no movement
alarm with the person to be monitored.
The no movement alarm is switched off whenever the handset is being charged in the charger
cradle or via the USB socket.
Escape alarm
The escape alarm is triggered if the sensor detects violent handset movements for user-definable
period of time. As with the no movement alarm the sensor has three sensitivity settings. To guaran-
tee a reliable operation it is advisable to test the sensitivity of the escape alarm with the person to
be monitored.

The alarm times are structured as follows.
Delay
This is the period of time that begins after the triggering event (“mandown”, no movement, escape).
