SOS calls
Warning!
Mobile phones such as this unit use radio signals, the
mobile phone network, the terrestrial network and user-
programmed functions. This means that connection cannot
be guaranteed in all circumstances. Therefore, you should
never rely solely on a mobile phone for very important calls
such as medical emergencies.
When the phone is turned on, the right soft key shows SOS
before the SIM card is activated or if the phone lock is on.
Press SOS and then press Yes to automatically call 911. Press
No to return to the activation screen. If you pressed Yes by
mistake, press Abort immediately to abort.
As long as the phone is switched on, it is always possible to place
an SOS call by entering 911 followed by q.
Most – but not all – networks accept calls to 911 without a valid
SIM card. Sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to
network, environment or interference issues.

English

key on the back of the phone for 3 seconds, or press it two times

message to all numbers in the Emergency numbers list. The

answered within 25 seconds, the next number is dialled.
Dialling is repeated 3 times or until the call is answered, or until
Lis pressed.
The Emergency Call function must be activated before use.
See Settings on how to activate this function, enter Emergency
Numbers, and edit the emergency SMS message.
Note!
When an emergency call is activated the phone is pre-set to
handsfree mode.
Automatic calls to 911 is normally not allowed. Do not save
this number in the list of numbers to be called automatically.
Some private security companies can accept automatic calls
from their clients. Always contact the security company before
programming in its number. The function is set to interact
with most voice mail systems to avoid that the call sequence
is interrupted.
Warning:
Do not hold the device near your ear when the handsfree
mode is in use, because the volume may be extremely loud.
