Patent Images
1. A communication terminal comprising:
- an external triggering apparatus which has an operating element and a signaling device, which generates a trigger signal when the operating element is operated mechanically;
a signal generation device;
a signal output device;
a detection device which detects the trigger signal; and
a control device which controls the signal generation device to generate a signal which is output by the signal output device when the trigger signal is detected by the detection device.

Abstract
A device coupled to a communication terminal allows an emergency sequence to be triggered. During the emergency sequence, the communication terminal outputs a signal, so that, by way of example, a voice link is set up to a prescribed telephone number. The external triggering apparatus is in the form of a memory card, for example, which has a triggering grip and is coupled to the communication terminal by means of a card reading apparatus.
