■ Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere,
and obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include
areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death. Switch off the device at refuelling points such as near gas pumps at
service stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel
depots, storage, and distribution areas; chemical plants; or where blasting
operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often, but not always, clearly marked. They include below deck on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities and areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. You should check with the
manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane) to determine if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
■ Emergency calls
Important: This device operates using radio signals, wireless networks,
landline networks, and user-programmed functions. If your device
supports voice calls over the internet (internet calls), activate both the
internet calls and the cellular phone. The device will attempt to make
emergency calls over both the cellular networks and through your
internet call provider if both are activated. 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:
1. If the device is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength.
Depending on your device, you may also need to complete the following:
• Insert a SIM card if your device uses one.
• Remove certain call restrictions you have activated in your device.
• Change your profile from offline or flight profile mode to an active profile.
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. Emergency
numbers vary by location.
4. Press the call key.
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.
