Reference information

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.

Make an Emergency Call

Some networks may require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted in the phone.

2Enter the emergency number for your present location (for example, 911 or any other official emergency number—emergency numbers vary by location).

3Press .

If certain features are in use (Keyguard, fixed dialing, restrict calls, and so on), you might first need to turn those features off before you can make an emergency call. Consult this document and your local cellular service provider.

When making an emergency call, remember to give all of the necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless phone might be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident— do not terminate the call until given permission to do so.
