44 - Calling Features
Calling an Emergency Number
Your service provider may program one or more emergency phone
numbers, such as 999, that you can call under any circumstances,
even when your handset is locked or the USIM card is not inserted.
Your service provider can program additional emergency
numbers into your USIM card. However, your USIM card
must be inserted in your handset in order to use the
numbers stored on it. See your service provider for
additional information on this issue.
Note: Emergency numbers vary by country. Your handset’s
preprogrammed emergency number(s) may not work in all
locations, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due
to network, environmental, or interference issues
.
Using AGPS During an Emergency Call
When you make an emergency call, your handset's assisted-Global
Positioning System (AGPS) feature can calculate your approximate
location and help emergency service personnel find you.
Notes:
• This feature can work only if the emergency response centre
can receive and process location information. If you are
concerned about whether your local emergency response
centre can receive AGPS location information, contact your
local authorities.
• In order for the AGPS feature to work when making
emergency calls, the service must be turned on (see page 32).
For best results, you should be located where your handset’s
antenna can establish a clear view of the open sky. This allows
your handset to access AGPS satellite signals. Even under good
conditions, it may take 30 seconds or more to determine your
approximate location. This time increases and the accuracy of the
results decreases with reduced access to satellite signals.
