The unit can't actually lock up the phone line.  It doesn't make or receive
calls.  It synthesizes a different ring signal to the inside phones.  You
can always make or take phone calls.  Also, if you have a security system it
would be wired to the phone lines ahead of the Doorbell Fon.  The connection
order should be as follows:  [incoming line] ... [alarm system] ...
[Doorbell Fon] ... [ house phones].

While the alarm is using the phone to report an emergency it kills the
connection to the Doorbell Fon unit and phones.
