10.1 Top Button Alarm
Double press, or long press, the top handset button to send out a personal alarm (for instructions on how to
use the double press and long press input modes, see 3.1.7 Multifunction, and Alarm Button, page 10). Two
different alarms can be set, one for each input mode. An alarm can be either a personal alarm with a
functionality, or a test alarm to test the personal alarm. The type of alarms used are selected by the system
administrator. See the Configuration Manual, Ascom Myco Smartphone for information on how to configure
personal alarms.
When an alarm is sent an information text is displayed in the top display (by default "Personal alarm", or
"Test alarm"), and a notification with the same text is shown in the front display. The alarm is sent to the
alarm central that distributes it further. If the personal alarm, or test alarm, is successfully sent the top
display text and notification confirm that with a , or a marker.
Depending on the system and handset configuration, location information can be sent when the alarm is
triggered. This also applies to the Man-Down and No-Movement Alarm.
The handset can be programmed to automatically call a predefined number after the alarm has been sent,
see 10.2.4 Automatic Call after Alarm, page 67.
It is always possible to send out a personal alarm, even when speaking, using apps, or while the
handset is locked.
