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.
