This video shows a demonstration of a pretty neat Mitsubishi elevator mode called "Reserved Operation for Emergency". Only found in hospital bed elevators, it allows the user to go to his or her desired floor "exclusively" without having the elevator to respond to other calls (in other words, calls will be ignored). This mode is commonly used when there is a medical emergency in hospitals, such as patient being rushed to the operating room.
To activate this mode, simply press both the Door Open and Door Hold button at the same time until the floor indicators shows a "RESERVED OPERATION" (for inside) and "IN USE" (for outside) lamp. Then, you must hold down your desired floor button until the doors are closed. If you let go the button the doors will reopen. After the doors have closed, the elevator will go straight to your floor, ignoring other calls until it reaches that floor. After that, the elevator will return to normal operation.
This mode was demonstrated in a Mitsubishi NexWay-S Series AW Hospital bed elevator.

Note:
1. It is possible to select more than one floor in this mode (does not work when you close the doors) but since it can only accept one car call the other calls will be automatically erased when the elevator reaches to your floor.
2. Some elevators may not have the "RESERVED OPERATION" lamp inside (like the first two elevators in this video) but it still can be identified by the "IN USE" lamp on the exterior indicator.
3. It might be useful for those who are in a hurry and happened to be in a busy elevator that usually stops at every floor. However, DO NOT use this mode when there is an ongoing medical emergency, or when there are other people using the elevator with you.
