IMPORTANT!
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals,
wireless 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 wireless phone
for essential communications (e.g., medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate wireless 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 wireless 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 wire-
less 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.
Emergency key 9
With this feature on, the phone attempts to make an
emergency call when you press 9, then
ó
. The
phone dials the emergency number pre-programmed
into your phone.
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 Key-
guard is active or when the phone is connected to a modem.
