■ Emergency calls

Important: Wireless phones, including this device, operate using radio
signals, wireless networks, landline networks, and user-programmed
functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be
guaranteed. You should never rely solely on any wireless device for
essential communications like medical emergencies.
To make an emergency call, make sure your device is properly charged before
attempting any emergency calls. If your battery becomes empty, you cannot
receive or make calls, including emergency calls and must wait a few minutes
after the charging begins to place your call.
1. If the device is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength. Some
networks may require that a valid UIM (CDMA SIM) card is properly inserted
in the device.
2. Press the end key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the
device for calls.
3. Enter the official emergency number for your present location, and press the
call key. Emergency numbers vary by location.
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before
you can make an emergency call. If the device is in an offline or flight mode you
must change the profile to activate the device function before you can make an
emergency call. Consult this guide or your service provider. When making an
emergency call, give all the necessary information as accurately as possible.
Your wireless device may be the only means of communication at the scene
of an accident. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.
