Controls and features
• Incompatible with cellular PIN feature
Some cellular carriers offer custom phone numbers that are assigned a
personal identification number (PIN). In this situation, the user is
required to enter the PIN with any phone calls made over the network.
The PIN feature is not compatible with the Lincoln RESCU System. At
the time your phone is activated, ask your carrier to assign you a phone
number that does not require a personal identification number. If you
have difficulty obtaining a non-PIN number, contact you dealer or call
the Ford Cellular System Clearinghouse at 1–800–367–3357 for
assistance.
• Incompatible or performance limited with certain cellular
providers features
Some cellular carriers offer customers various optional features with
their cellular services. Several of these features are not compatible or
could potentially limit the performance of your Lincoln RESCU System.
Some outgoing calls, hotline and NPA restrictions are incompatible
cellular features and must be avoided. Operation is possible with no
incoming calls, call forwarding, busy/no answer transfer and call waiting,
but these features could impact overall system performance. Because
carriers are regularly making new features available to customers, this
list may not be complete. Contact you dealer for assistance if you are
unsure if a particular cellular feature is compatible with your Lincoln
RESCU System.
• Potential limitations if activated outside home cellular region
At the time you receive your vehicle (or shortly after), you will need to
select a cellular carrier and activate your phone. If desired, carrier
selection can be arranged through your dealer. This carrier is usually
local to your region and will handle call processing and billing services
for your cellular telephone. In order to use your phone when traveling
outside your home cellular region, the services of the carriers local to the
new area will be required. If your home carrier does not have an
agreement with the new local carrier, your phone calls could be
forwarded to an operator and you may be required to provide a credit
card number before your call is processed. If an activation occurs in this
situation, the initial call will be terminated and a second call which
bypasses the response center's computer will be placed.
Unlike during the first call attempt, your cellular handset will not be
locked during the second call, so you will have the option of terminating
the assistance request at any time by pushing either PWR or END on the
