Information about safeguarding handsets
We encourage customers to take appropriate measures to secure their devices
and invite them to take advantage of the features available on this device to
help secure it from theft and/or other unauthorized access and use. This
device has a locking function (e.g., Security PINs) that can serve as a first
line of defense against unauthorized use or access to stored information.
Preloaded security applications that allow customers to track or locate
misplaced devices can be found on several devices. Lost or stolen devices
should be immediately reported to your wireless carrier so that proper
measures can be taken to protect accounts. For additional information, visit
your wireless carrier’s Privacy Policy.
Emergency call
If your phone has network coverage, dial the emergency number and press the
Call Key to make an emergency call. This works even without a SIM card and
without typing the PIN code.
Although all phones are equipped with 9-1-1 emergency calling, this phone may
or may not permit its location to be approximated during a 9-1-1 call. Be
prepared to report your location when dialing 911*.
- Availability of this feature depends on upgrades to the (a) wireless network and (b) 9-1-1 calling system that are required to be installed by the local 9-1-1 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 9-1-1 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 mobile phone for essential communications (such as a medical or other emergency). Please see your wireless carrier’s Terms and Conditions, and Privacy Policy for additional service restrictions and details.
