EMERGENCY CALLS
Important:
Please read Warnings for Emergency Call Feature in front of manual.
In an emergency, press the Help button on the back of the C900 to automatically
dial up to five (5) predetermined numbers. When someone presses the red help
button on the back of the mobile phone, these numbers will automatically dial in the
sequence in which they have been preselected on the phone.
When dialing the emergency number there will be an emergency tone emitted.
When the called party answers the phone, they will hear the emergency tone and
will have to press “0” to activate the call. This is to avoid being connected to the
call party’s answering machine or voicemail. If the contact is designated as a “Help
Organization,” the call will be activated when answered. If a contact is not reached,
the phone will dial the next number automatically. It will dial the list of contacts up
to three (3) times. If no contacts are reached after the third cycle, the C900 will
automatically pick up the next incoming call within one hour.
