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 upon any wireless phone for essential
communications (for example, medical emergencies).
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 <SEND> key.
If certain features are in use (keyguard, restrict calls,
etc.), you may first need to turn those features off
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.

You should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Switch off your phone in any facility where posted
notices so require.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Switch off your phone when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs
and instrutions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Users are advised to switch off the phone 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
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.
