Alarm Operation
The following system dependent features are applicable to WL3 Plus WLAN Handset only.
Push-button Alarm
Press the red alarm button twice within two seconds to activate the alarm. An information text is
displayed, default “Personal alarm” is displayed. The alarm is sent to the alarm central that distrib-
utes it further. After that the handset returns to stand-by mode. Note that you can always trigger
the alarm when you are speaking, editing your settings, or while the handset is locked.
Acoustic Location Signal (ALS)
An alarm can be followed by an Acoustic Location Signal (ALS). The ALS is a signal from the hand-
set that sounds for a predefined period of time. Press
to turn the ALS off.
Test Alarm
Press and hold the red alarm until the information text is displayed, default “Test alarm” is dis-
played.
Man-down and No-movement Alarm
The Man-down alarm reacts if the handset is tilted (default 45°) from the vertical for a predefined
period of time (default 7 seconds). The No-movement alarm will react if no movement is detected
during a predefined period of time (default 30 seconds).
The handset alerts by beep, vibrator, and LED signals, depending on the settings, during a pre-
defined period of time (default 7 seconds). At the same time, the handset displays the message
“Man-down warning. Cancel?“ or “No-movement warning. Cancel?“.
The handset then sends the alarm, unless the alarm is cancelled. The handset confirms that the
alarm has been sent by beep, vibrator, and LED signals. In addition, the handset displays the mes-
sage “Man-down warning sent“ or “No-movement warning sent“.
The handset location is sent along with the alarm, see "Alarm with Additional Information" on page
32.
If configured in the Device Manager, an Acoustic Location Signal (ALS) is activated after the alarm
has been sent, see "Automatic Call after Alarm" on page 32.
The handset can be programmed to automatically call a predefined telephone number after the
alarm has been sent, see "Automatic Call after Alarm" on page 32.
The Man-down and No-movement alarm functions are inactive under the following conditions:
• While the handset is placed in a charger.
• During calls (depending on settings), to avoid false alarms if the user tilts the handset, or is mo-
tionless during a call.
If a shared phone is used, it must be logged in to the system to be able to send alarm. See
"Log a Shared Phone On/Off" on page 20.
Applicable to WL3 Plus only.
