Emergency calls
Note: This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio
signals, wireless, and landline networks as well as user-programed
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).
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 (e.g. 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 (e.g. 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 guide 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.
