IMPORTANT!

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 (e.g., medical emergencies).
Remember, to make or receive any calls, the phone must be

switched on and in a service area with adequate wireless 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 wireless service providers.
If certain features are in use (e.g., Keyguard, Restrict calls, etc.),

you may first need to turn those features off before you can make

an emergency call. Please read this manual thoroughly and contact

your local wireless service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the

necessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that

your wireless 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.
Note: Official emergency numbers vary by location (e.g. 911 or

other official emergency number). However, only one emergency

number is programmed into your phone to be dialed automatically

by Emergency Key 9, which may not be the proper number in all

circumstances. Emergency Key 9 does not operate when certain

features are in use (e.g., Keyguard, Restrict calls, etc.)
