6 Automatic Emergency Call (SOS)
An automatic SOS call can only be made when ALARM
FUNC:ON is activated in the menu; Menu Structure, Page 82,
the telephone is operated via the power adapter plug
or when 4 charged batteries are installed in the telephone and 1
charged battery is installed in the emergency call unit.
The emergency call unit can be used to dial an emergency services ex-
change or specific persons for assistance.
There are several emergency services exchanges available. In
some countries, these may be subject to a charge.
You can also use the equipment as a private emergency call de-
vice within the family.
How the automatic SOS call works
The telephone reacts as follows after starting an automatic SOS call:
A loud SOS signal sounds for 15 seconds on the base unit. The
Call/SOS LED flashes at the same time.
If you have activated QUIET AL.:ON in the menu, the SOS alarm
signal is not played. Only the Call/SOS LED flashes.
The handsfree function is switched on.
The numbers assigned to the 3 SOS call buttons are dialled in
succession:
The first number dialled is that assigned to the large red button.
It rings for maximally 60 seconds. If the call is not taken within this
time, the call is ended.
The SOS alarm signal sounds again on the base unit for 15 seconds.
The number assigned to the large red button is then dialled for
60 seconds.
If this call is not taken within the specified time, the same procedure is
repeated as before; the alarm signal is sounded for 15 seconds and
then the phone number assigned the large red button is dialled.
If no phone numbers have been assigned to the three large red
buttons , or , no phone number is dialled but
the SOS alarm signal sounds.
As soon as one of the SOS calls is taken, the person taking the call
hears the outgoing alert message in a continuous cycle.
When the telephone leaves the factory, the following outgoing
alert message is already recorded: This is an emergency call, to
accept this call, press zero." However, you can record your own
outgoing alert message; Page 79.
When the person receiving the SOS call presses the [0] button on
their phone, this ends the outgoing alert message and a connection to
the SOS caller is automatically established. The person making the
SOS call automatically uses the handsfree function.
If the SOS call is not taken by anyone, the telephone then repeats
the cycle and calls the phone numbers assigned to the large red
SOS buttons , and in the same sequence. The
telephone completes a maximum of 4 complete cycles which
takes approx. 15 minutes. If the call is not taken, the automatic
SOS call is automatically stopped.
