How is the procedure during SOS function?

Your Gigaset E560A is equipped with four additional keys (direct dial keys [A] to [B] ) on the base and handset. The direct dial key [A] can be assigned a special emergency function ("emergency key"). You can use this to request emergency assistance from friends or neighbours.

Note:
The emergency function must be set up first.
Once the emergency function has been activated, the emergency key on the handset and the base is permanently illuminated.

Process:
You can trigger the emergency call on the base or on the handset by pressing the direct dial key [A].

The person receiving your emergency call will hear the emergency call message:
• "This is an emergency call."
• A personal emergency call message, if you have recorded one (only Gigaset E560A).
• "To accept the call please press key 5."
If the person receiving the call presses the key 5, you can now speak to one another.

If the person receiving the call does not accept the call, the emergency function automatically
dials the next emergency number after 60 seconds (if several numbers have been saved). The
emergency function also automatically switches to the next emergency number after 60 seconds in the following situations:
• The answer machine of the emergency number selected is activated
• The emergency number is busy
• The telephone of the person receiving the emergency call is not set to "tone dialling".

This process is repeated a maximum of 5 times. If none of the calls are accepted, the emergency function is ended with an error tone.

Note:
All emergency keys on all registered handsets and on the base flash throughout the entire process. The message "Sending emergency call" is displayed on the handset on which the emergency call was triggered.

If an internal call is saved as well, the emergency call can also be accepted by an internal participant (only Gigaset E560A). The message "Emergency call" appears on all registered handsets and the base.
