Reference Information
Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must be switched on
and be used in a service area that has adequate signal strength.
Emergency calls might 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.
Always ensure 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.
Making an Emergency Call
1 If the phone is not on, switch it on.
2 Enter the emergency number for your present location (e.g. 911 or
any other official emergency number—emergency numbers vary by
location).

If certain features are in use (Keyguard, fixed dialing, restrict calls, etc.),
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.
Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low-power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.
