IMPORTANT!
This phone, like any cellular phone, operates using radio signals,
cellular and landline networks, as well as user-programmed
functions which can not guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any cellular phone for
essential communications (e.g., medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must be switched
on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular phone networks
or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use.
Check with local cellular service providers.
If certain features are in use (keyguard, restrict calls, etc.), you may
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 the neces-
sary information as accurately as possible. Remember that your
cellular 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.
Emergency key 9
With this feature on, the phone attempts to make an
emergency call when you press 9, then . The phone
dials the emergency number pre-programmed into your
phone.
Note: You can also dial an emergency call by pressing and holding
9 until the phone indicates it is attempting to make an emergency
call. However, this method does not work when Keyguard is active
or when the phone is connected to a modem.
Note: This feature is disabled while playing games, using the
calculator, or while editing (e.g. phone book entries, calendar, etc.).
