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 minicomputer. 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 snowakes, tears of joy, squirt-gun crossre 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 qualied service dealer. Do not attempt 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.
