IMPORTANT!

This phone, like any cellular phone, operates using radio signals,
cellular and landline networks, as well as user-programmed func-
tions which can not guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any cellular 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 cellular signal
strength.

Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular phone net-
works or when certain network services and/or phone features
are in use. Check with local cellular service providers.

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 nec-
essary information as accurately as possible. Remember that
your cellular 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.
