The phones boast many outstanding features. The units have a durable exterior with a rust-resistant finish. The telephones function in severe conditions, including in the extreme cold weather, rain and noisy environments. The units may be set to autodial two numbers or to ring down through a PABX. The phones feature an emergency push button. Once the button is pressed, the phone automatically connects to the intended location. An LED provides a visual confirmation of a call connection.
