Do Not Rely on Your Phone for Emergency Calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for essential communication (e.g.,
medical emergencies). Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless networks or when
certain network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider
for details.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Using your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-free device) is prohibited in
some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to specific restrictions. Remember to focus on driving first.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special regulations in a given area.
Turn your phone off in areas where use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.
