Visual Emergency Call for Smartphones (VNS)

Visual Emergency Call

With the VNS function, important additional information — for example from passengers’ smartphones — is transmitted to the control centre in parallel with the voice emergency call.
This feature is particularly helpful for hearing-impaired or deaf persons, as well as for users who do not speak the local language.

If the VNS-function is activated, the following sticker is applied inside the car:

Important Note:
Subsequent Activation of VNS:

  • NRT must be callable via telephone.

  • The phone number and security code of the NRT must be known.

  • Activation can only be carried out by Telegärtner Elektronik Service & Support (unless ordered directly at the time of purchase).

  • The emergency call centre must be capable of processing VNS emergency calls (to be confirmed in advance).

  • Complete the activation form and send it to Telegärtner Elektronik:

How a Visual Emergency Call Works

If the VNS option has been activated on the NRT, visual alarms (two-sense lift alarm via smartphone) are supported.
Press the alarm button for at least 3 seconds.

  • The alarm is transmitted, and the NRT activates a Wi-Fi network (“Alarm”).

  • Scan the QR code on the sticker inside the car using a smartphone.

  • Allow the smartphone to connect to the Wi-Fi network (“Alarm”).

  • After a short loading period, the VNS user interface is displayed:

  • Select the desired language and answer the displayed questions:

  • After answering the questions, the visual alarm can be sent using the corresponding button.

  • The alarm centre can send information back to the smartphone.

  • The Wi-Fi network remains active until either the alarm centre (NRZ800) sends an end-of-alarm command via DTMF protocol, or until 30 minutes have elapsed.
