SOS emergency call

The AUDIO ASSIST/SOS button on the cordless handset can function as
SOS emergency button. It lets you quickly page other system devices
and call the preset external numbers for help in an emergency.

You can preset up to five SOS numbers.
If you have purchased and registered a Wearable home SOS pendant

(SN7022) to your telephone system, the SOS pendant will function as
same as the SOS emergency button of the cordless handset.

• To ensure proper operation, the telephone system must be installed according to the installation
instructions on page 2 to page 4. To verify that the telephone system is operating
properly and can successfully make emergency calls to the preset numbers, the telephone
system must be tested immediately after installation, and periodically thereafter, according to the
setup instructions on page 15 to page 18, and the operations on page 38.

• The telephone system cannot make an emergency call when other equipment (telephone,
answering system, computer modem, etc.) connected to the same phone line is in use.

• Do not solely rely on the SOS button on the cordless handset, or the Wearable home SOS
pendant (SN7022, purchased separately), for getting help in case of emergency. The functionality

of the SOS emergency call is dependent on the phone settings and network availability.

2. Setup

• We recommend you set all five SOS numbers to maximize the possibility of receiving response
from others when you make an emergency call.

13

Setup

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 16), 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 17).

• 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 with your handset.

• 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.

Smart call blocker*

If you have subscribed to caller ID service, then you can use the Smart call blocker
feature to screen incoming calls.

Smart call blocker is on, once you install your telephone. It allows all incoming calls
to get through and ring by default. You can change the Smart call blocker settings to
screen incoming calls.

With call screening active, Smart call blocker screens and filters all incoming calls
from numbers or names that are not yet saved in your directory, allow list, block list,
or star name list. You can easily add incoming phone numbers to your allow list and
block list. This allows you to build up your lists of allowed and blocked numbers, and
Smart call blocker will know how to deal with these calls when they come in again.

Read the Introducing Smart call blocker leaflet provided in your package to learn
how to set up your Smart call blocker.
