SAFETY INFORMATION
FCC ENHANCED 911 (E911) RULES
BACKGROUND
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires
wireless carriers to transmit specific latitude and longitude location
(Automatic Location Identification = ALI) information as well as
“911” calls to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) to identify the
location of the caller in case of emergency.
Generally, the rules require that carriers identify an E911 caller’s
location within 50 meters of the actual location for 67 percent of
calls and within 150 meters of the actual location for 95 percent
of calls.
CDM-8955’S ALI CAPABILITY
The CDM-8955 is an ALI-capable phone equipped with a GPS
(Global Positioning System) receiver supporting a satellitebased GPS
ALI-capable network to comply with the FCC’s ALI requirements.
The network compliance with the above FCC requirements is
dependent on: (a) the use of digital technology by the wireless
network; (b) GPS satellite signals being able to reach the handset
(such transmissions do not always work indoors, for example) ; and
(c) handset signals reaching wireless “base stations” (atmospheric
and environmental conditions may cause variations in handset
receiving signal strength).

CAMERA
Do not aim your camera at the sun. The sunlight passing through
the camera lens may cause damage to the camera.
Do not use your camera’s flash close to a person’s eyes. This may
cause the person to lose eyesight temporarily and result in an
accident.
EMERGENCY CALLS
Never rely solely upon your wireless phone for essential
communications (e.g., medical emergencies), if it can be avoided,
since a wireless phone requires a complex combination of radio
signals, relay stations and landline networks for its operation.
Consequently, emergency calls may not always be possible under
all conditions on all wireless phone systems. Your wireless phone,
however, may sometimes be the only available means of
communication at the scene of an accident. When making an
emergency call, always give the recipient all necessary information
as accurately as possible. Never terminate an emergency call until
you have received clearance to do so.
