The message
Mandown Call
is displayed when the mandown feature is
activated.
A mandown call is initiated when the handset orientation changes from
upright to horizontal. One of the following occurs:
• If no text message is entered, the Mandown number is dialled (voice
call).
• If a text message is defined, the text message is sent to the defined
Mandown number.
• If no number is defined, Mandown is disabled.
To provide additional security, you can enable an auto answer function on
the handset when Mandown Call is activated. When Auto Answer is
activated, the handset automatically answers incoming calls in handsfree
mode. Outgoing mandown calls cannot be initiated during this time,
however the Repeat feature in the Mandown Call menu can be
programmed to make an outgoing mandown call when the incoming auto-
answered call is completed. If Auto Answer is not enabled, incoming
calls are rejected while the handset initiates a mandown call.
Mandown timers
To prevent accidental activation of the Mandown Call feature, the handset
provides three timers:
• Delay timer — The Delay time is the time that must elapse before
mandown is activated. During this time the handset display remains
in normal mode. There is no alert/attention tone. If the handset
returns to the vertical position during this time, the Delay timer is de-
activated.
Once the Delay timer has expired, the Pre-alarm timer begins.
• Pre-alarm timer — The Pre-alarm timer can be cancelled by pressing
the Esc soft key. The Pre-alarm timer is not cancelled if you return the
handset to an upright position. The Pre-alarm timer produces an
audible beep.
• Repeat timer — If the handset is placed in a horizontal position while
a call is established, the phone does not initiate the Mandown call
unless a text message is configured. If no text message is configured,
the phone initiates a Mandown call when the call ends, after the
