You can set up your facility to initiate an emergency broadcast silently, without
playing a chime.
Emergency broadcasts are initiated on the Vocera device when
you click the Call button on your Vocera device twice. You can also initiate an
emergency broadcast from the Vocera Collaboration Suite on your cell phone, see
