■ Emergency calls
Important: Wireless phones, including this phone, operate using radio
signals, wireless networks, landline networks, and user-programmed
functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be
guaranteed. You should never rely solely on any wireless phone for
essential communications like medical emergencies.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength. Some
networks may require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted in the phone.
2. Press the End key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the
phone for calls.
3. Press and hold the Middle selection key in the standby mode, and enter the
official emergency number for your present location. Emergency numbers
vary by location. To enter the emergency number, scroll to the numeric
character you want in the character bar, and press
Select . Repeat this for
each numeric character of the emergency number. If you enter an incorrect
character, select
Clear to delete it.
4. Press the Call key.
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before
you can make an emergency call. Consult this guide or your service provider.
When making an emergency call, give all the necessary information as accurately
as possible. 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.
