About using a headset
You can purchase an optional headset to use with your BlackBerry® device.
If you use a headset, you can use a headset button to answer or end a call, or turn on or turn off mute during a call. You can also use a
headset button to make a call using a voice command.
Depending on your headset, you might also be able to use a headset button to pause, resume, skip, or adjust the volume of a song or a
video in the media application.
For more information about using the headset, see the documentation that came with your headset.

Emergency calls

About emergency calls
Your BlackBerry® device is designed to make emergency calls even when it is locked or the SIM card is not inserted. If the connection to
the wireless network is turned off when you initiate an emergency call, your device is designed to connect to the wireless network
automatically.
You can only make emergency calls by typing official emergency access numbers (for example, 911 in North America).
Make an emergency call
Perform one of the following actions:
• If your keyboard or BlackBerry® device is unlocked, in the phone application, type the emergency number. Press the Send key. If
the country you are in supports multiple emergency numbers, your device connects you to the primary emergency number.
• If your keyboard is locked, type the emergency number. Press the Send key.
• If your device is locked, press the Menu key. Click Emergency Call. Click Yes.Your device connects you to the country's primary
emergency number.
About GPS technology
Location-based applications can use your GPS location to provide you with other location-based information. For example, a location-
based application could use your GPS location to provide you with driving directions.
If your device does not have an internal GPS receiver or your wireless service provider does not support location-based services and you
want to use GPS technology, you can pair your BlackBerry device with a Bluetooth® enabled GPS receiver. For more information, contact
your wireless service provider.
