Emergency Settings
When a NotifyLink security lock is activated on a device, via either the Inactivity Timeout or Challenge Timeout, users may still make emergency calls from the device if they have enabled the Emergency Call feature and configured up to four selectable emergency speed dial numbers.
When the Emergency Call feature is enabled and the device locks, the security lock dialog displays the Emergency Call button. To make an emergency call, the user can select the button and then initiate emergency number dialing by selecting one of the speed dial buttons that has been configured through these settings.
