Emergency Calls
IMPORTANT!
The Nokia 9290 Communicator, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals,
wireless and landline systems as well as user-programed functions which cannot
guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon
any wireless phone for essential communications (for example, medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls the phone must be switched on and in a
service area with adequate signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on
all wireless phone systems or when certain system services and/or phone features are
in use. Check with local service providers.
To make an emergency call:
1 If the device cover is open, close it.
2 If the phone is not on, switch it on by pressing the key. Some systems may
require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted in the communicator.
3 Press and hold the key for several seconds to ready the phone for calls,
and to end possible active data or fax calls.
4 Key in the for your present location (for example, 911 or other official
emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by location.
5 Press the key.
If certain features are in use (call restrictions, fixed dialing, system lock, keypad
lock, etc.), you may first need to turn those features off before you can make an
emergency call. Consult this document and your local cellular service provider.
