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.

CaRIng fOR YOuR PhOnE

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:

n Assess road conditions before answering.

Your safety is more important than any call.

n Prepare your hands-free headset, if you have one,

or turn on your speakerphone option before you

start moving.

n Keep 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.

n Program frequently used numbers into your

speed dial for easy one-touch dialing.

n Remember that laws prohibiting or restricting the use

of a mobile phone while driving may apply in your

area.
