The way the SOS procedure operates is described below.

Recipients of the emergency call must have set their telephones to tone dialling as other-

wise confirmation of the SOS call with key 5 will not be recognized.

Press the SOS/direct dialling key 

é  on the base station and the device dials immedi-

ately.
You have to press and hold the SOS/direct dialling key 

é on the handset to launch the 

function immediately. 

If you just press the key briefly and don't hold it down, you have to confirm with §Yes§ to 

prevent an emergency call from being initiated inadvertently.

Å

The first SOS number is dialled as soon as you press the SOS direct dialling key. At the 

same time, the message "Sending emergency call" is played back via the loudspeaker.

Å

If the SOS call is answered, the callee automatically first hears the message "This is an 

emergency call". Your name is then played back after this message. You must have pro-

grammed the SOS key accordingly in order for your name to be announced (see page 18). 

This is followed by the message "To accept the call please press 5". If the callee now 

presses key 5, you can converse with one another.

Å

If the callee does not answer the call, for example because s/he is not at home or his/her 

answering machine is switched on, the SOS procedure automatically dials the next SOS 

number. The SOS procedure switches automatically to the next SOS number after 60 sec-

onds in the following cases:
u The call is not answered
u The answering machine for the selected SOS number is switched on
u The SOS number is busy

Å

The procedure is repeated at most four times. If none of the calls is answered, the SOS 

procedure is ended with an error tone.

i

– During the entire procedure, all SOS keys flash on all registered handsets and on 

the base station. The message "Sending emergency call" is issued on the handset 

that triggered the emergency call.

– If an internal call is programmed additionally, the SOS call can also be answered by 

an internal user. The text "Emergency call" is output on all registered handsets and 

the base station.

– You should perform a test run of the SOS procedure to ensure that SOS mode is 

programmed correctly. The police, rescue services or fire brigade must not be used 

for a test run.

– Please note that the standby time of the handset will be reduced when SOS mode 

is activated.

– The SOS LED lights up permanently when SOS mode is activated!
