# Configure the Emergency Button on the TS12-2B

The TS12-N-R2B has two separate call buttons:

* A black regular call button - labeled CALL, used for non-emergencies
* A red emergency call button - labeled HELP, used for emergencies

Each button is linked to its own [Call Flow](/intercom/configuration/add-and-configure-receivers-in-intercom/create-and-use-shared-call-flows.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
Before starting, review [Configuring Intercom Receivers](/intercom/configuration/add-and-configure-receivers-in-intercom.md) to understand how receivers and call flows work.
{% endhint %}
