About using a headset

You can purchase an optional headset to use with your BlackBerry® device.
If you use a headset, you can use a headset button to answer or end a call, or to turn on or turn off mute during a call. Depending on your device
model, you might be able to use a headset button to make a call using a voice command.
Depending on your headset, you might also be able to use a headset button to pause, resume, skip, or adjust the volume of audio or video files.
For more information about using the headset, see the documentation that came with your headset.

About emergency calls

If you are outside of a wireless coverage area and the SOS wireless coverage indicator appears, you can only call emergency numbers. Your
BlackBerry® device is designed to allow emergency calls even when your device is locked. Depending on your device model and the wireless
network that your device is connected to, your device is also designed to allow emergency calls when the SIM card is not inserted. If the
connection to the wireless network is turned off when you initiate an emergency call, your device is designed to connect to the wireless network
automatically.
You can only make emergency calls by typing official emergency access numbers (for example, 911 or 112).
