EmERgEnCy dIalIng
While all phones are equipped with 911 emergency
calling, this phone may or may not permit its location to be
approximated during a 911 call.*
* Availability of this feature depends on upgrades to the (a) wireless network and (b) 911
calling system that are required to be installed by the local 911 response agency or public
safety answering point (PSAP); these upgrades may not be available everywhere within
our wireless coverage area or your roaming area. This approximation of the phone’s
location and the transmittal of location information are subject to emergency situations,
transmission limits, network problems/limitations, interconnecting carrier problems, your
phone, buildings/tunnels, signal strength and atmospheric/topographical conditions,
and may be curtailed, interrupted, dropped or refused. The phone’s approximate location
is transmitted to the local 911 response agency or PSAP while the call is in progress; this
approximation is intended solely to aid the PSAP in dispatching emergency assistance or
to limit the search area for emergency services personnel. You should not rely solely on
a phone for essential communications (such as a medical or other emergency). Please
see T-Mobile’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy for additional service restrictions
and details.

MAKING IT LAST
Your phone is a complex electronic device; think of it as a
mini-computer. Here are some hints that should help you
extend the life of your new phone.
Phones aren’t cheap, so keep yours in a safe place —
away from children who may nd it fun to see if the phone sinks
or oats, and away from dogs that nd plastic-coated products
to be irresistible chew toys.
Water will damage your phone and accessories — even
a small amount such as water droplets from a soda in your
car cup-holder, melting snowakes, tears of joy, squirt-gun
crossre or steam from hot water in the kitchen or bathroom.
Use only batteries and accessories from the original
manufacturer of your phone. Non-approved accessories can
cause damage to you or your phone and shorten the phone’s
life. Hint: If it’s being sold out of someone’s car trunk, walk
away.
If your charger or any other accessory is damaged,
replace it or take it to a qualied service dealer. Do not at-
tempt to operate your phone charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, thrown from a speeding motorcycle or is
otherwise damaged; doing so may damage your phone.
TIps fOR safETy
Check with your doctor if you have a pacemaker or hearing
aid in order to ensure that cell phone usage is safe with your
device. If you have questions about the interaction of cellular
radio frequency and any other electronic equipment, ask the
manufacturer of the equipment if cell phone radio frequencies
will disrupt the equipment’s performance.
When you are driving, T-Mobile encourages you to use
your phone in a safe and sensible manner. Here are
a few tips:
nAssess road conditions before answering.
Your safety is more important than any call.
nPrepare your hands-free headset, if you have one,
or turn on your speakerphone option before you
start moving.
nKeep your phone closed. If it rings and you discover it’s in the
back seat, do NOT crawl over the seat to answer it while driving.
nProgram frequently used numbers into your speed dial for easy
one-touch dialing.
nRemember that laws prohibiting or restricting the use of a mobile
phone while driving may apply in your area.
