SOS function works only in Phone Mode and not in PTT Mode. Switch to
Phone Mode to send SOS messages. Valid SIM, Airtime subscription and
proper SOS set-up required for SOS to function. Failure to satisfy these
conditions will prevent SOS from functioning, which could prevent or
delay an emergency response and result in serious injury or death.
You must configure the Emergency Mode in order for the SOS button
to send an emergency message to a designated Call Recipient and
Message Recipient. Failure to configure the SOS button will result in no
message being sent when the SOS button is pressed. In order to initiate
SOS mode, you must be in Phone Mode for phone and messaging
network access. Improper configuration or mode designation could
prevent or delay an emergency response and result in serious injury or
death.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and
may violate government regulations. When using remote mount antenna,
mount antenna at least 20 cm away from the user. Also when using a
remote mount antenna in order to reduce potential radio interference to
other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen such that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that
permitted for successful communication.
Driving and Operation of Other Motor Vehicles
The use of any wireless device, including a satellite telephone, may cause
distraction. Discontinue a call if you cannot concentrate on driving. Check
the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. Many local governments prohibit the
use of mobile telephones while driving. Observe the following guidelines
when using your phone while driving:
• Give full attention to driving – driving safely is your first responsibility.
• Use hands-free phone operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park safely before making or answering a call.
