Dialing Emergency Numbers

When you call an Emergency Number, such as 911, do not disconnect the call or make other calls until advised to do so by the emergency operator. This enables emergency operators to more easily dispatch aid, such as police, fire fighting, and emergency medical personnel.

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, restricted, or in Airplane Mode. You can specify other numbers than 911 as emergency numbers using the Emergency # settings. (For more information, refer to “Emergency Number” on page 130.)

When 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 133.)

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.
