Special functions

Emergency call key (SOS)

All the devices offer the possibility of storing an SOS emergency-call function under one of the pro-
grammable keys (see page 55). To dial an SOS emergency number, all you have to do is briefly press
the programmable key (emergency call key). Whether dialling is possible only in the idle state or
also in the connected state depends on the device and the assigned key type.

If you programmed the SOS emergency call function under the left and middle softkey, the emer-
gency call key is available in the idle state only.
If you program the emergency call function under one of the other keys (left and right navigation
key or sidekeys / Hotkey on the Aastra 620d / 630d), the emergency call key can also be used in the
connection state (depending on the system).

On the Aastra 610d / 620d, the handset is always switched to handsfree mode when the SOS emer-
gency number is dialled. On the Aastra 630d you can set whether the number is dialled in handsfree
mode or in handset operation (see menu item Handsfree in alarm in the event of an alarm under
Alarm Sensor).

The Aastra 630d handset has a separate SOS key on its upper side. You can set the key’s response in
the menu ❯❯❯ -> Security -> SOS call -> SOS key or in the menu ❯❯❯ -> Settings -> Key program-
ming
-> [and press the SOS key]. The settings include: SOS call (the SOS emergency number is then
dialled directly) or SOS call: with confirmation (the SOS emergency number is dialled only after a
safety prompt). The SOS emergency number is always dialled immediately if the key is pressed and
then held down.

You can enter the SOS emergency number in the menu ❯❯❯ -> Security -> SOS call -> SOS number.
This menu item is not displayed if the SOS emergency number is predefined by the system.

Note

You can also use the emergency call key / SOS key when the key lock or phone lock is activated.
When calling up the menu of system features (e.g. system menu) it may not be possible to use the
emergency/SOS key. So avoid menu settings during safety-critical applications of the handset.

Alarm Sensor (Aastra 630d only)

The Aastra 630d handset is equipped with an alarm sensor that permanently determines the hand-
set’s tilt angle and movement. Various types of alarm can be deduced from these readings, trigge-
ring an automatic alarm call. The only requirement is that you have programmed an alarm number
