Accidentally Pressing the Emergency Phone Button in a Schindler 3300 Elevator | Elevator Video

I Accidentally pressed the phone button in the elevator. These are the Schindler 3300 MRL traction elevators at the Hampton Inn in Troy Michigan. People make mistakes sometimes, I happened to do it in this video and if you ever press the phone by accident, wait until someone answers the call, then tell them that you accidentally pressed the button, in this situation, nobody answered it and the phone call ended. By doing this, you are telling the person on the phone that it was a mistake so they don't have to go out and inspect the elevator. Remember to never press these buttons in elevator if it's not an emergency, elevator phones are not a joke and you should never mess around with them. (Some of them call 911)

[@ElevatorDude]

I was making a movie a few days ago that had a Schindler 3300, and as I ran into the elevator, I pushed the button to go up to the 5th floor, my finger slipped on the “Door Close” button and hit the “Phone” button. We sent that elevator up in attempt to get the other one, but the same one where I hit the phone button came back. Luckily, no one answered the phone.

Lol so I'm not the only one who's done that on a 3300. xD

[@NewEnglandElevators]

Interesting how the phone button lights up green when activated, that's the last color I would have expected for it to light up. I would have probably ended up doing the same thing by mistake; the button layout on the elevator is weird...probably happens a lot if nobody picked up.

[@Jamestube8439]

Perhaps, I know that nobody was at the front desk when I walked in so maybe they weren't there since it wasn't check in hours? I don't know for sure. But green is an interesting light for the phone.

Glad you got to ride a 3300. I never knew the phone button lit up green on the older ones.

[@Jamestube8439]

Yeah, I'm glad I finally found one here in Michigan.

[@atomstarfireproductions8695]

I have a feeling that why no one answered was because the phone line wasn’t working properly. After DTMF dialing, there was still a constant dial tone.

There was nobody at the front desk either.

Used to work security at a chicken plant. The emergency button in the elevator was connected to our phone in the guardshack. Can't count how many times that thing got pressed in the 2 years I worked there. "I pressed it by mistake". I honestly think most of the time they pressed it just to see who would respond to it, if anybody.

[@Jamestube8439]

True sometimes managers will test the phone to make sure it works. I hate the placement of these buttons in newer elevators like these.

Where I live in the world there isn't a "phone" button but the alarm button activates the emergency telephone (in most cases you have to hold it for a preset length of time, usually something between 3 and 15 seconds, although 5 and 10 seconds seem to be the most common, and with some, the emergency phone will activate with a brief press, even when it says to hold it for X amount of time) One time I was heading down from the 4th floor to the ground floor, and someone was leaning against the panel, and they managed to activate the alarm "please remain calm, the alarm has been activated, please remain calm, the alarm has been activated" (and then it says something about dialling a telephone number or something like that, i cannot remember what it says) so it dialled whatever number it dials, and someone DID pick up (there are lights just below the floor display that light up when the alarm is activated, and when the person picks up) As someone was talking about whoever it was having set it off when they picked up, it seems they never actually said anything and instead realised it was an accidental activation

I don't know why the lift designers put the phone button right above, next to or below the close button. It's just plain stupid. Imagine how many times the lift agency get called because someone wasn't paying attention and hit the phone. At least add a cover or make it so you have to hold the button before the call goes through.

[@Jamestube8439]

I agree, they need to put it in a better spot honestly. You can't accident press the phone button if there's a box so elevator companies should think along those lines.
