To turn the microphone on again, press FCN MNO6 again so Mute disappears.

Hint: To help you remember which key to use, note that “M” (for mute) appears on the MNO6 key.

Note: Pressing END to end a call also turns the microphone back on.

MAKING EMERGENCY CALLS

Your phone is preprogrammed to let you dial your local emer- gency number (such as 911) at the press of a single button, even if the phone is locked (see “Locking Your Phone” on Page 45). Before you can use this feature, however, you must first program the emergency number you want to use in memory location 01 of your phone. See “Storing Speed Dial Numbers” on Page 36.

To place an emergency call once you have stored the emer- gency number, simply hold down 1 for about 1 second. Emergcy appears and the phone dials the emergency num- ber.

Important Notes:

•If one-touch dialing is turned off (see “Turning One- Touch Dialing Off/On” on Page 32), you cannot make

emergency calls using the

1 key.

•When you make an emergency call, give your name and cellular phone number, as well as the location of the inci- dent. Remember that your phone might be the only means of communication at the accident scene. Do not end the call until you are advised you may do so.
