Emergency Ringdown/Hotline Service
The Emergency Ringdown or Hotline Service feature enables standard telephones to
automatically ring a designated extension by going off-hook. Digital telephones
cannot perform this feature, but they can receive Emergency Ringdown or Hotline
Service from standard telephones.
Emergency Ringdown is used in healthcare facilities, where it
is used to assist callers who may not be able to complete a call
by dialing. An example of an incoming Emergency Ringdown
call is shown on the right. The calling [DN] and “Ringdown” displays whether soft
keys are ON or OFF.
This same feature is also known as Hotline Service and is often used for telephones in
hotel/motel lobbies.

you. You can alternate between parties as long as the handset is off-hook.

➤To deactivate group listening
