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 and the system.
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 / 622d / 630d / 632d / 650c), the emergency call key can
also be used in the connection state (depending on the system).
Normally the handset is always switched to handsfree mode when the SOS emergency number is
dialled. On the Aastra 630d / 632d 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 Sen-
sor
).
The Aastra 630d and 632d handset has a separate SOS key on its upper side. You can set the key’s
response in the menu

SOS call: immediately
(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 immedi-
ately if the key is pressed and then held down.
You can enter the SOS emergency number in the menu

This menu item is not displayed if the SOS emergency number is predefined by the system.
Note
On the Aastra 630d and 632d you can also use the upper SOS key when the key lock / phone lock is
activated.
Alarm Sensor (Aastra 630d / 632d only)
The Aastra 630d and 632d handset is equipped with an alarm sensor that permanently determines
the handset’s tilt angle and movement. Various types of alarm can be deduced from these readings,
triggering an automatic alarm call. The only requirement is that you have programmed an alarm
number or SOS emergency number (see previous section) and the Alarm Sensor feature is activated.
The handset supports the following alarms:
• "Mandown"
