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 page110.)
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 page113.)
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 page52.)
1. Navigate to a Home screen panel, then touch
Contacts
.
2. Find the contact and touch it to open the Contact entry.
3. Touch to dial the default number for the Contact.
