Vehicles

Only qualified personnel should service the phone, or install the phone in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may be danger- ous and may invalidate any warranty which may apply to the unit.

Check regularly that all wireless phone equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly.

Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment as the phone, its parts or accessories.

For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that an air bag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Switch off your phone before boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network and may be illegal.

Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of telephone services to the offender, or legal action, or both.

Emergency Calls

IMPORTANT!

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and landline networks as well as user-programmed func- tions 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 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 service providers.

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 ó

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.
