Emergency calls

IMPORTANT!

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless
and landline networks as well as user- programmed functions which
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you should
never rely solely upon any wireless phone for essential communications
(e.g. medical emergencies).

Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be switched on
and in a service area with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls
may not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain
network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local
service providers.

Making an emergency call

1 If the phone is not on, switch it on.

2 Press and hold

for several seconds to ready the

phone for calls.

3 Key in the emergency number for your present location

(e.g. 911 or other official emergency number). Emergency
numbers vary by location.

4 Press Call.

If certain features are in use (Keyguard, call restrictions, etc.), you may
first need to turn those features off before you can make an emergency
call. Consult this document and your local cellular service provider.

When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary
information as accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless
phone may be the only means of communication at the scene of an
accident - do not cut off the call until given permission to do so.
