How Does Sos Emergency Call Work; Set Sos Emergency Number - VTech SN5147 User Manual

How does SOS emergency call
work?
• To make an emergency call, press
and hold AUDIO ASSIST/SOS on the
right side of the cordless handset for
three seconds. The telephone base
announces "Emergency mode is
activated". The handset then pages all
system devices. All devices ring an alert
tone and the handset screen shows
SOS mode for 20 seconds. After that,
the telephone then calls the preset SOS
numbers in sequence until the call is
answered.
- The telephone enables internal SOS
alert by default. When this feature
is enabled, the telephone pages all
system devices before calling the
preset SOS numbers.
- If you disable internal SOS alert (see
page 14), the telephone calls the
preset SOS numbers directly when
you press and hold AUDIO ASSIST/
SOS on the cordless handset.
• When the SOS call to the preset external
number is answered, the call receiver
hears an SOS message. You can record
your own message or use the default
message (see page 14).
• 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.
