IMPORTANT!
This phone, like any cellular phone, operates using radio signals, cellu-
lar and landline networks, as well as user-programmed functions
which can not guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you
should never rely solely upon any cellular phone for essential commu-
nications (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.
If certain features are in use (keyguard, restrict calls, etc.), you may
first need to turn those features off before you can make an emergency
call. Consult this document and your local cellular service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary
information as accurately as possible. Remember that your cellular
phone may be the only means of communication at the scene of an ac-
cident - do not cut off the call until given permission to do so.

Emergency key 9

With this feature on, the phone attempts to make an emer-
gency call when you press 9, then

Note: You can also dial an emergency call by pressing and holding 9
until the phone indicates it is attempting to make an emergency call.
However, this method does not work when Keyguard is active or when
the phone is connected to a modem.
Note: This feature is disabled while playing games, using the calculator,
or while editing (e.g. phone book entries, calendar, etc.).
