• Emergency calls
IMPORTANT!
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, 
wireless and landline networks, and user-programmed functions. 
Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. 
Therefore, you should never rely solely on any wireless phone for essential 
communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must be switched on 
and be used in a service area that has adequate signal strength. 
Emergency calls might not be possible on all wireless phone networks or 
when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check 
with local service providers.
Always ensure that your phone is properly charged before attempting any 
emergency calls. If you allow your battery to become empty, you will be 
unable to receive or make calls, including emergency calls. You must then 
wait a few minutes after the charging begins to place any emergency 
calls.
Make an emergency call
1 If the phone is not on, switch it on.
2 Enter the emergency number for your present location (for example, 
911 or any other official emergency number—emergency numbers 
vary by location).
3 Press .
If certain features are in use (Keyguard, fixed dialing, restrict calls, and so 
on), you might first need to turn those features off before you can make 
an emergency call. Consult this guide and your local cellular service 
provider.
