IMPORTANT!

This phone, like any cellular phone, operates using radio signals, cellular 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 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 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 neces- sary 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.

Emergency key 9

With this feature on, the phone attempts to make an

emergency call when you press 9, then . 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 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.).

Activating Emergency key 9

Press Menu 4-1-1 (Settings - Call settings - Emergency key 9), scroll to On to activate or Off to cancel, then press OK.

IMPORTANT!

Official emergency numbers vary by location (e.g. 911). Only one emergency number is programmed into your phone to be dialed automatically by Emergency key 9, which may not be the proper number in all circumstances.

Entering text and numbers
