EMERGENCY DIALING

While all phones are equipped with 911 emergency calling, this phone may or may not permit its location to be approximated during a 911 call.*
* Availability of this feature depends on upgrades to the

1. wireless network and
2. 911 calling system that are required to be installed by the local 911 response agency or public safety answering point (PSAP); these upgrades may not be available everywhere within our wireless coverage area or your roaming area. This approximation of the phone's location and the transmittal of location information are subject to emergency situations, transmission limits, network problems/limitations, interconnecting carrier problems, your phone, buildings/tunnels, signal strength and atmospheric/ topographical conditions, and may be curtailed, interrupted, dropped or refused. The phone's approximate location is transmitted to the local 911 response agency or PSAP while the call is in progress; this approximation is intended solely to aid the PSAP in dispatching emergency assistance or to limit the search area for emergency services personnel. You should not rely solely on a phone for essential communications (such as a medical or other emergency). Please see T-Mobile's Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy for additional service restrictions and details.

CARING FOR YOUR PHONE

Making it last
Your phone is a complex electronic device; think of it as a mini-computer. Here are some hints that will help you extend the life of your new phone.
Phones aren't cheap, so keep yours in a safe place. Keep the phone away from children who want to see if the phone sinks or floats, and away from dogs that find plastic-coated products to be irresistible chew toys.
Water will damage your phone and accessories. Even a small amount of water from a soda in your car cup-holder, melting snowflakes, tears of joy, squirt-gun crossfire, or steam from the kitchen or bathroom can damage your phone.
Use only batteries and accessories from the original manufacturer of your phone. Non-approved accessories can damage you or your phone and shorten the phone's life. Hint: If it's being sold out of someone's car trunk, walk away.
If your charger or any other accessory is damaged, replace it or take it to a qualified service dealer. Do not attempt to operate your phone charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, thrown from a speeding motorcycle, or is otherwise damaged; doing so may damage your phone.

TIPS FOR SAFETY

Check with your doctor if you have a pacemaker or hearing aid to ensure that cell phone usage is safe with your device. If you have questions about the interaction of cellular radio frequency and any other electronic equipment, ask the manufacturer of the equipment if cell phone radio frequencies will disrupt the equipment's performance.

When you are driving, T-Mobile encourages you to use your phone in a safe and sensible manner. Here are a few tips:

• Assess road conditions before answering. Your safety is more important than any call.
• Prepare your hands-free headset, if you have one, or turn on your speakerphone option before you start moving.
• If your phone rings and you discover it's in the back seat, do NOT crawl over the seat to answer it while driving.
• Program frequently used numbers into your speed dial for easy one-Select dialing.
• Remember that laws prohibiting or restricting the use of a mobile phone while driving may apply in your area.

Text Messaging

Your phone supports four text modes:

• T9 ® mode: This mode allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter and the phone predicts the word you want. For example, to enter run, you enter 7, 8, 6 and press the Navigation key right to select the word, or press the 0 key to select the word and add a space.
• ABC mode: This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the same key until the correct letter displays. For example, to enter run, you press 7 three times, 8 two times, and 6 two times.
• Number mode: This mode allows you to enter numbers.
• Symbol mode: This mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation marks.

Tips:
When entering a message, press and hold the Pound (#) key to select T9 ® mode or ABC mode.
To enter symbols, press and hold the Star (*) key to open the symbol menu. Scroll to the desired symbol. Enter the number associated with that symbol. Select OK.
