7. Emergency calls

1 If the phone is not on, switch it on.

2 Press and hold

for several seconds to ready the

phone for calls.

3 Key in the emergency number for your present location

(e.g. 911 or other official emergency number). Emergency
numbers vary by location.

4 Press Call.

IMPORTANT!

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using 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).

If you make an emergency call, your phone changes to
emergency call mode. If you choose to exit this mode, emergency
operators may not be able to contact you. Keep your phone in
emergency call mode until emergency personnel arrive on the
scene. In emergency call mode, some menu items may not be
available. To exit emergency call mode, at the Start screen,
press
Exit. When the question Restore normal service? appears,
click
OK.

Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone
networks or when certain network services and/or phone
features are in use. Check with local service providers.

If certain features are in use (Keyguard, call restrictions, 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 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.
