Dialing Emergency Numbers
When you call an Emergency Number, such as 911, your phone
locks itself in emergency mode, only allowing you to make calls
to the emergency call center you originally contacted. This
enables emergency operators to more easily dispatch aid.
1.
From Standby mode, touch
Dialer
.
2.
Enter 911 using the touch keypad.
3.
Press
to place the call.
Note:
The emergency number 911 is preset into your phone, and you can
dial 911 at almost any time, even when the phone is locked or
restricted. You can specify other numbers than 911 as emergency
numbers using the
Emergency #
settings. For more information, refer
to
“Emergency #”
on page 87.
If you call 911, an audible tone plays and an Emergency prompt
appears in the display for the duration of the call.
Caution!:
DO NOT depend on this phone as a primary method of calling 911
or for any other essential or emergency communications. Because
of transmission methods, network parameters, and user settings
necessary to complete a call from your wireless phone, a
connection cannot always be guaranteed. Therefore, emergency
calling may not be available on all wireless networks at all times.
