Potentially Explosive Environments
Switch your phone off when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Users are advised to switch the phone off while at a
refuelling 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
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, proceed as follows.
1. If the phone is not on, switch it on.
2. Key in the emergency number for your present
location (for example, 120 or any other official
emergency number). Emergency numbers vary
by location.
3. Press the
key.
If certain features are in use (call barring, for
example), you may first need to deactivate those
features before you can make an emergency call.
Consult this document and your local cellular
service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give
all the necessary information as accurately as
possible. Remember that your phone may be the
only means of communication at the scene of an
accident; do not cut off the call until given
permission to do so.
