Calling an Emergency Number

Your service provider may program one or more emergency phone numbers, such as 999, that you can call under any circumstances, even when your handset is locked or the USIM card is not inserted.

Your service provider can program additional emergency numbers into your USIM card. However, your USIM card must be inserted in your handset in order to use the numbers stored on it. See your service provider for additional information on this issue.

Note: Emergency numbers vary by country. Your handset’s preprogrammed emergency number(s) may not work in all locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network, environmental, or interference issues.

Using AGPS During an Emergency Call

When you make an emergency call, your handset's assisted-Global Positioning System (AGPS) feature can calculate your approximate location and help emergency service personnel find you.

Notes:

•This feature can work only if the emergency response centre can receive and process location information. If you are concerned about whether your local emergency response centre can receive AGPS location information, contact your local authorities.

•In order for the AGPS feature to work when making emergency calls, the service must be turned on (see page 32).

For best results, you should be located where your handset’s antenna can establish a clear view of the open sky. This allows your handset to access AGPS satellite signals. Even under good conditions, it may take 30 seconds or more to determine your approximate location. This time increases and the accuracy of the results decreases with reduced access to satellite signals.
