Emergency Calls

IMPORTANT!
This phone, like any cellular phone, operates by using radio sig-
nals, cellular and landline networks, as well as user- programmed
functions which cannot 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.

Making an Emergency Call

1) If the phone is not on, switch it on by pressing and
holding the 3:5 key.
2) Press and hold &/5 to clear the display.
3) Enter the emergency number for your present loca-
tion (e.g., 911 or another official emergency number).
Emergency numbers vary by location.
4) Press 6(1'.
If certain features are in use (e.g., Keyguard), you may first need to
turn these off before you can make an emergency call. Consult this
document and your local 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 end 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 also sends
out radio frequency (RF) signals.
