Using the SOS function:
During an emergency, press and hold the SOS key for a few seconds. The device will emit an alert sound (siren) and the call cycle will begin. The phone will activate the hands-free speaker and call the emergency numbers in consecutive order, also sending the SOS message via SMS. If there is no answer, it will move to the next number until one of them responds; this cycle will repeat 3 times.
*Warning* If a number on the list has voicemail, the cycle will end.
