Chapter 1 - Introduction
• When connecting the communicator to a PC
or printer, please refer to the User's Guides of
those devices for detailed safety instructions.
• The infrared beam of the communicator may
interfere with the functioning of other
infrared devices that are not IrDA certified. Do
not point the infrared beam at anyone's eye.
• Consult aircraft personnel as to whether you
may use the communicator interface applica-
tions in an aircraft. However, always switch
off the phone interface when in an aircraft.
The use of cellular telephones in an aircraft
may be dangerous to the operation of the
aircraft, disrupt the cellular network and is
illegal.
• Failure to observe these instructions may lead
to suspension or denial of cellular telephone
services to the offender, or legal action or
both.

Emergency calls

The Nokia 9000 Communicator, like any cellular
phone, operates using radio signals, 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 com-
munications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the com-
municator's phone interface must be switched
on and in a service area with adequate cellular
signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellu-
lar phone networks or when certain network
services and/or phone features are in use. Check
with local cellular service providers.
Some networks may require that a valid SIM card
is properly inserted in the communicator.
To make an emergency call:
If the device cover is open, close the cover.
If the phone interface is not on, switch it on
(press the key).
Press and hold the

If certain features are in use (call barring, fixed
dialling, closed user group, system lock, keypad
lock, etc.), you may first need to turn those fea-
tures 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 accident - do not cut off the call until
given permission to do so.
