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.

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.
