Emergency Ringdown/Hotline Service Features
Emergency Ringdown/Hotline Service
The Emergency Ringdown or Hotline Service feature enables standard telephones to automatically
ring a designated extension, after the ringdown timer expires, by going off-hook.
The Hotline Service feature is often used for telephones in hotel/motel lobbies. This same feature is
referred to as Emergency Ringdown in healthcare facilities, where it is used to assist callers who may
not be able to complete a call by dialling.
Note Electronic and digital telephones cannot perform this feature, but they can receive Hotline
Service or Emergency Ringdown from standard telephones.

Message Waiting
If your station is idle or busy on a call while another station tries to contact you, the calling station can
turn on the message waiting LED on your telephone. Your Message Waiting lamp flashes when there
is a message.
Up to four message waiting indications can be left at a station at any one time.
➤ Lift the handset off-hook. The designated station will automatically ring after the
ringdown timer expires.
If a valid feature access code or DN is dialled before the
ringdown timer expires, automatic ringdown does not occur.
An example of an incoming
Emergency Ringdown call to an
electronic or digital LCD telephone
is shown on the right. The calling [DN] and “Ringdown”
displays whether soft keys are ON or OFF.
