areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. 
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or 
even death. Switch off the device at refueling points such as near gas pumps at 
service stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel 
depots, storage, and distribution areas; chemical plants; or where blasting 
operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are 
often, but not always, clearly marked. They include below deck on boats, 
chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas 
(such as propane or butane), and areas where the air contains chemicals or 
particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
■ Emergency calls
Important: Wireless phones, including this device, operate using radio 
signals, wireless networks, landline networks, and user-programmed 
functions. Because of this, 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. 
Some networks may require that a valid SIM card is properly inserted in the 
device.
2. Press the end key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the 
device for calls. 
3. Enter the official emergency number for your present location. Emergency 
numbers vary by location.
4. Press the call key.
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before 
you can make an emergency call. If the device is in the offline profile mode, you 
may need to change the profile to activate the phone function before you can 
make an emergency call. Consult this guide or your service provider for more 
information.
When making an emergency call, give all the necessary information as accurately 
as possible. Your wireless device may be the only means of communication at the 
scene of an accident. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.
