Emergency Calls - Nokia 6090 User Manual

Emergency calls

Important! This car phone, like any wireless phone, operates us-
ing radio signals, wireless and landline networks as well as user-
programmed functions which cannot guarantee connection in
all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any
wireless phone for essential communications (e.g. medical
emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls, the car phone must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone net-
works or when certain network services and/or phone features
are in use. Check with local cellular service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.
Some networks may require that a valid SIM card is properly
inserted in the phone.
2. Press and hold c for several seconds to ready the phone
for calls.
3. Key in the emergency number applicable for your present lo-
cation (e.g. 112 or other official emergency number). Emer-
gency numbers vary according to location.
4. Press M (Call).
If certain features are in use (Fixed dialling, etc.), you may first
need to turn those features off before you can make an emer-

gency call. Consult this document and your local cellular service
provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the nec-
essary information as accurately as possible. Remember that
your wireless 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.
