Making a Call — Number

3.Press or the Voice Call soft key to place the call.

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, such as police, fire fighting, and emergency medical personnel.

1.With the phone on, press the Dialer soft key. The touch

keypad screen appears in the display.

2.Enter 911 using the touch keypad.

3.Press or the Voice Call soft key to place the call.

Important!: Emergency number 911 is preset into your phone.

If you call 911 an audible tone is heard and an Emergency prompt appears in the display for the duration of the call.

Important!: Because of various 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.

Important!: DO NOT depend on this phone as a primary method of calling 911 or for any other essential or emergency communications.

Note: You can specify other numbers than 911 as emergency numbers using the Emergency # settings. (For more information, refer to “Emergency #” on page 118.)

Manual Pause Calling

When you call automated systems (like banking services), you are often required to enter a password or account number.
