Consult aircraft personnel as to whether you may use the communicator interface applica- tions in an aircraft. However, always switch off the phone interface before boarding an aircraft. The use of mobile telephones in an aircraft may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the cellular network and is illegal.

Failure to observe these instructions may lead to suspension or denial of cellular tele- phone services to the offender, or legal action or both.

If certain features are in use (call restriction, fixed dialing, closed user group, system lock, keypad lock, etc.), you may first need to turn those features off before you can make an emer- gency call. Consult this document and your home network operator.

When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information as accu- rately as possible. Remember that your mobile phone may be the only means of communica- tion at the scene of an accident - do not cut off the call until given permission to do so.

Emergency calls

IMPORTANT!

The Nokia 9000i Communicator, like any mobile phone, operates using radio signals, cellular and landline networks, as well as user-programmed functions which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential com- munications (e.g. medical emergencies).

Remember, to make or receive any calls the communicator’s phone interface must be switched on and in a service area with adequate network signal strength.

Emergency calls may not be possible on all cel- lular phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with your home network operator.

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

To make an emergency call:

1If the device cover is open, close the cover.

2If the phone interface is not on, switch it on (press the key).

3Press and hold the key for several seconds to ready the phone interface for calls. If there is an active data or fax call, drop the call first

by pressing the key.

4Key in the emergency number for your present location (e.g., 911 or other official emergency number). Emergency numbers may vary by location.

5Press the key.
