Making an emergency call
About this task
You do not have to be logged in to make an emergency call. If emergency calling was set up
by your system administrator, the Phone screen has an Emergency softkey to immediately
connect you with a preset emergency services number.
Your system administrator can configure the PHNMOREEMERGNUMS parameter in the
settings file for your extension with ten additional emergency numbers. If a user dials any one
of the specified emergency numbers, the deskphone will handle the call as an emergency call
even if the telephone is in the locked or unregistered state.
Procedure
1. Press the Emerg. softkey.
2. To end the emergency call, press the Drop softkey or press the Speaker button.
