Silent Alert
The silent alarm function can trigger an instant, unobtrusive action by the destination on the specified URL (example: alarm server). This action might be necessary if, for example, the call recipient is threatened, the tone of the conversation becomes angry, or there is a medical emergency or a hostage situation.

Depending on the predefined delay, a number of different scenarios are possible:
Delay 0 sec: The silent alarm is sent after the delay period comes to an end.
Delay min. 1 sec: A countdown counter appears on the display. The following options are also available
Dismiss: Cancels the silent alarm.
Hide: Displays the Idle screen. The countdown counter continues running in the background.
Start immediately!: Cancels the countdown counter and the alarm is sent immediately.
An action is triggered at the destination (an alarm server etc.), depending on which URL has been entered.
Alternatively, a warning can be sent by SIP message. Use the SIP message function key to do this.
