Emergency calls
Important:
This device operates using radio signals, wireless networks, landline

networks, and user-programmed functions. If your device supports voice calls over the

internet (internet calls), activate both the internet calls and the cellular phone. The device

will attempt to make emergency calls over both the cellular networks and through your

internet call provider if both are activated. Connections in all conditions cannot be

guaranteed. You should never rely solely on any wireless device for essential

communications like medical emergencies.

To make an emergency call:

1

If the device is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength. Depending

on your device, you may also need to complete the following:

Insert a SIM card if your device uses one.

Remove certain call restrictions you have activated in your device.

Change your profile from offline profile mode to an active profile.

If the screen and keys are locked, slide the lock switch on the side of the

device to unlock them.

2

Press the end key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the device

for calls.

3

Open the dialler by selecting the dialler icon (

).

4

Enter the official emergency number for your present location. Emergency numbers

vary by location.

5

Press the call key.

When making an emergency call, give all the necessary information as accurately as

possible. Your wireless device may be the only means of communication at the scene of

an accident. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.
