Abstract
When a crew of a vehicle runs into a traffic accident or suffers sudden illness, a control circuit of a phone device in the vehicle releases prohibition of outputting an incoming ring in memory to set a ring volume to the maximum. Even if the incoming ring is previously set being prohibited from outputting while the driving, the incoming ring is thereby outputted at the maximum volume from a ringer when an incoming call is received after the emergency occurs.
