Reference information
Always make sure that your phone is properly charged before attempting
any emergency calls. If you allow your battery to become empty, you will be
unable to receive or make calls, including emergency calls. You must then
wait a few minutes after the charging begins to place any emergency calls.
Make an Emergency Call
1
If the phone is not on, switch it on.
Some networks may require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted
in the phone.
2
Enter the emergency number for your present location (for example,
911 or any other official emergency number—emergency numbers vary
by location).
3
Press .
If certain features are in use (Keyguard, fixed dialing, restrict calls, and so
on), you might 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 of the necessary
information as accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless phone
might be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident—
do not terminate the call until given permission to do so.
