Health and Safety Information
172
Users are advised to switch the phone off while at a refueling point (service
station). Users are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use
of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas),
chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always
clearly marked. They include the areas below deck on boats, chemical
transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Emergency Calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates 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 on any wireless phone for essential communications (medical
emergencies, for example).
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 networks or when certain network
services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local service
providers.
To make an emergency call:
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.
2. Key in the emergency number for your present location (for example,
911 or other official emergency number). Emergency numbers vary by
location.
3. Press the
key.
