Safety
Emergency Calls
Never rely solely upon your wireless phone for essential
communications (e.g., medical emergencies), if it can be avoided,
since a wireless phone requires a complex combination of radio
signals, relay stations and landline networks for its operation.
Consequently, emergency calls may not always be possible
under all conditions on all wireless phone systems. Your wireless
phone, however, may sometimes be the only available means
of communication at the scene of an accident. When making
an emergency call, always give the recipient all necessary
information as accurately as possible. Never terminate an
emergency call until you have received clearance to do so.

within 150 meters of the actual location for 95 percent of calls.
