Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT!
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates by using radio signals,
wireless and landline networks, as well as user-programmed
functions which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless phone for
essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate wireless signal

your wireless phone may be the only means of communication at
the scene of an accident. Do not end the call until given permission
to do so.
