Dialing Emergency Numbers

When you call an Emergency Number, such as 911, your phone locks itself in emergency mode, only allowing you to make calls to the emergency call center you originally contacted. This enables emergency operators to more easily dispatch aid.

1.Navigate to a Home screen panel, then touch Phone.

2.Enter 911 using the touch keypad.

3.Touch to place the call.

Note: The emergency number 911 is preset into your phone, and you can dial 911 at almost any time, even when the phone is locked or restricted. You can specify other numbers than 911 as emergency numbers using the Emergency # settings. (For more information, refer to “Emergency Number” on page 110.)

If you call 911, an audible tone plays and an Emergency prompt appears in the display for the duration of the call. (For more information, refer to “Emergency tone” on page 113.)

Caution!: DO NOT depend on this phone as a primary method of calling 911 or for any other essential or emergency communications. Because of transmission methods, network parameters, and user settings necessary to complete a call from your wireless phone, a connection cannot always be guaranteed. Therefore, emergency calling may not be available on all wireless networks at all times.

Making Calls using Speed Dials

Speed Dials are 1-, 2-, or 3-digit shortcuts (1 to 100) you assign to contacts, to allow you to quickly call the contact. (For more information, refer to “Speed Dials” on page 60.)

1.Navigate to a Home screen panel, then touch Phone.

2.Touch the digits of the speed dial number on the Dialer keypad, holding the last digit until the number dials.

Making Calls from Contacts

A contact is an entry that you have created to store the name, numbers, and other information for people or groups of interest. (For more information, refer to “Contacts” on page 52.)

1.Navigate to a Home screen panel, then touch

Contacts.

2.Find the contact and touch it to open the Contact entry.

3. Touch Call to dial the default number for the Contact.
