• Emergency calls

IMPORTANT!

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, wireless and landline networks, and user-programmed functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless phone for essential communications (for example, medical emergencies).

Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must be switched on and be used in a service area that has adequate signal strength. Emergency calls might not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local service providers.

Always make sure that your phone is properly charged before attempting any emergency calls. If you allow your battery to become empty, you will be unable to receive or make calls, including emergency calls. You must then wait a few minutes after the charging begins to place any emergency calls.
