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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
@@Jamestube8439 yes and ive just remembered the lift where it happened had a button which i still dont know its purpose to this day the button had a symbol on it, there was a button and a >|< button, which are door open and close, but next to the button was a button, and the alarm button was to the left of the >|< button, and underneath the button
True, that's not good that nobody was on duty. I would have had to ring the alarm bell which is the same sound as press a floor button, which doesn't help at all. Who knows they may be understaffed
Yeah it was weird, I was very surprised nobody was at the desk. It was about 2 in the afternoon when I filmed this so I would think that there would be some people working there.

Couple years ago when I was at the Franklin Hotel in Deadwood, South Dakota. I accidently pressed the Emergency Phone button in that elevator, that button was in a horrible place, gotta say!
Yeah it can blend in with the other buttons. I think they should make a separate row for it on the panel with a bigger notice saying something like Warning! Emergency Telephone or somethintg
It's happened to me. Many times. Mostly on the Otis Series 7's with the stacked door open/close layout when I try and hold door open when people get on, but I instead end up holding the alarm, which then pisses me off.
@@Jamestube8439 yeah you would not believe this i was like were going to talk to them, on floor 2 i rung the alarm because it stopped responding and it unhooked the line on me. so heres the video of what happened ruclips.net/video/Wt-3i34NlRU/видео.html
THAT’S WHY YOU MOVE THE CALL BUTTON IN THE ELEVATOR WHERE YOU DONT ACCIDENTALLY PRESS THE PHONE BUTTON FROM NOW ON (GOING FORWARD) SO THIS DOSENT HAPPEN AGAIN GEEZ!!
Not really, even if they did pick up I would have told them it was an accident. It’s actually that nobody picked up, what if it was an emergency and I was stuck.
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.
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.
I actually didn't, I was looking at my camera and I thought my hand was on the door close button. I hate the placement of the phone button since it's so close to the door close button.
My father’s old cousin and I used to go nowhere with him and then we used to always press the fourth fire fighter button and I did nothing and we were laughing so hard and then it was so hilarious and then I press pet pressing the bell button it’s so fine
Help I was walking the dog for the morning walk and I went to the elevator and I pressed the first floor button and leaned on the button pad and I ACCIDENTALLY pressed the emergency button and out of panic I just ran out😭💀
Next time wait until someone answers and tell them it was an accident. There's no shame in being honest, what if the elevator company called the fire department or someone else to come out and investigate. A false alarm wouldn't look too good.
I've seen a few other videos but not on a 3300, I look back to video and I just laugh at how ridiculous it was. I should have been paying attention, lol.
No I didn't, you see in other people's videos they thought it was door close. I actually thought it was door close too. And I am always honest with my viewers, I would never post click-bait videos.

Stop it with the elevator phone button
Schindler Elevator Emergency Services did not answer the phone!!!
Yeah not good if someone was actually stuck. However some phones call the front desk or other locations first before contacting the fire department.
1:53 This Fire Alarm is not a Truealert, It might actually be a Wheelock E70 or CH70 Horn Strobe though.
Gotcha, thanks.
Newly built elevators have the phone button that isn't on the side where the floor buttons, and door buttons are located
True in most cases
You’re lucky no one was at duty
Actually it's pretty bad nobody picked up. What if it was an actual emergency. And if anyone did pick up, I would have told them it was an accident.

That’s the same elevator at flora singer elementary school
It's happened to me. Many times. Mostly on the Otis Series 7's with the stacked door open/close layout when I try and hold door open when people get on, but I instead end up holding the alarm, which then pisses me off.
Yeah it would be so much better if they put it in a different spot away from the commonly pressed buttons.
ah, we're humans it happens. and the button was right next to the close door one i mean what did u expect
Lol it's still a fail since I should've been paying attention.
I had a mishap at Missoula Airport MSO in 2018 where I had hit the alarm and I thought it was door close, forgot about it 2 years later
Yeah, mistakes happen.
Also this seems to be a new thing with 3300a
Well it's not a 3300, lol
It was the phone button.
The elevator company should have put a cover for the alarm or indicate it very closely

Why does Schindler always put the phone there? It's the worst spot.
That’s what I’m saying! I think lower on the panel would be a better position
