• EMERGENCY CALLS
Important: This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using
radio signals, wireless, and landline networks as well as user-
programmed functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions
cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon
any wireless phone for essential communications (for example,
medical emergencies).
This phone supports FCC mandated emergency location service. This feature
may not be supported by emergency response numbers or wireless phone
networks in all areas. 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.
To make an emergency call:
1 If the phone is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength.
Some networks may require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted
in the phone.
2 Press as many times as needed (for example, to exit a call, to exit
a menu, etc.) to clear the display and ready the phone for calls.
3 Key in the emergency number for your present location (for example,
911 or other official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by
location.
4 Press the key.
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features
off before you can make an emergency call. Consult this user guide
and your local wireless 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 end the call until given permission to do so.
