INFORMATION ABOUT SAFEGUARDING
HANDSETS
T-Mobile encourages customers to take appropri-
ate measures to secure their handsets and invites
them to take advantage of the features available
on this handset to help secure it from theft and/or
other unauthorized access and use. This handset
has a locking function (e.g., user-defined codes or
patterns) that can serve as a first line of defense
against unauthorized use or access to stored infor-
mation. Preloaded security applications that allow
customers to track or locate misplaced devices
can be found on several T-Mobile devices. Lost or
stolen devices should be immediately reported to
T-Mobile so that proper measures can be taken to
protect accounts. For additional information, visit:
T-Mobile.com/devicesecurity and

EMERGENCY DIALING
Although all phones are equipped with 9-1-1 emer-
gency calling, this phone may or may not permit its
location to be approximated during a 9-1-1 call.*
*
Availability of this feature depends on upgrades
to the (a) wireless network and (b) 9-1-1 calling
system that are required to be installed by the local
9-1-1 response agency or public safety answering
point (PSAP); these upgrades may not be available
everywhere within our wireless coverage area or your
roaming area.
This approximation of the phone’s location and the
transmittal of location information are subject to
emergency situations, transmission limits, network
problems/limitations, interconnecting carrier
problems, your phone, buildings/tunnels, signal
strength and atmospheric/topographical conditions,
and may be curtailed, interrupted, dropped or
refused. The phone’s approximate location is
transmitted to the local 9-1-1 response agency or
PSAP while the call is in progress; this
approximation is intended solely to aid the PSAP
in dispatching emergency assistance or to limit
the search area for emergency services personnel.
You should not rely solely on a phone for essential
communications (such as a medical or other
emergency). Please see T-Mobile’s Terms and
Conditions and Privacy Policy for additional service
restrictions and details.
