SOS message

The PowerTel 680 telephone has a pre-recorded SOS message which you can
use, or you can record your own personal emergency message.

The pre-recorded emergency message is: “This is an emergency call, to accept
this message press 0.”

Record a personal SOS message

When you activate an emergency call each of the numbers stored under the
M1, M2 and M3 buttons on your PowerTel 680 telephone are repeatedly dialled
in turn until one of the numbers is answered. Your emergency message is then
played.

It is very important that in your personal emergency message you include:

- Your name and that the call is an emergency and you need help

- That the person must press ‘0’ on their telephone keypad to accept the
emergency call.

Activating an emergency call

When you activate an emergency call from your wrist shaker, the PowerTel 680

telephone will go to handsfree mode and will beep for 15 seconds.

You will then hear as each of the emergency numbers you have stored under
the M1, M2 and M3 buttons (see page 94) are dialled automatically, one after
the other, with intervals of approximately 60 seconds.

The person answering the emergency call will hear the SOS message. When
they press the 0 button on their keypad, they will be able to talk to you via the
handsfree on your PowerTel 680 telephone for 3 minutes.

During the last 10 seconds of this 3 minute call you will hear a warning beep
that the call will be disconnected.

If no numbers have been stored under the , or keys on your
PowerTel 680 then you will just hear a long continuous tone after the beep tone
for 15 seconds and no numbers will be dialled.

If only 1 or 2 numbers have been stored under the
