PANIC button (emergency services)

General description

An optional Motorola Original™ PANIC button enables you to dial an
emergency number for getting connected rapidly to your local
emergency services. This feature is a network dependant and might
not work in all networks.

Installation

Use Motorola Original PANIC button for enabling emergency- services dialing with
your Motorola M800.

Do This

1 Attach the PANIC button cable to the connector at the end of the split

cable that exits the rear of the device. This connector is usually hidden
beneath the car carpet and therefore an authorised installer is
recommended.

2 Place the PANIC button (which is placed at the end of the PANIC cable)

in accessible place inside the vehicle (such as the handbrake), where you
can press the button intuitively and initiate an emergency call when
needed.

Functionality

Once the PANIC button is being pressed, a phone call is initiated to emergency
number (which was preset by the network operator in advance). Usually this
emergency number is set to be a governmental service such as police, fire
department etc.
After pressing the PANIC button, all other phone functionalities are being stopped
and first priority is given to emergency dial. For example if you write a text
message or if you are in a call, pressing the PANIC button will terminate all other
activities and will initiate an emergency call as described above.

Display

When the user presses the PANIC button, the following message will appear on
the display: “calling… Emergency” (the number will not appear)
