The only thing that happens when you press the Call Button while turning the unit on (which is EXTREMELY awkward to do without also pressing a volume button at the same time, especially considering that you're also expected to be listening for voice prompts AT THE SAME TIME) is the unit doesn't connect to any phones ... Buttons don't do what they're supposed to do. ...
