Emergency calls

Important: This device operates using radio signals, wireless networks, landline networks, and user-

programmed functions. If your device supports voice calls over the internet (internet calls), activate both the internet

calls and the cellular phone. The device will attempt to make emergency calls over both the cellular networks and through

your internet call provider if both are activated. Connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed. You should never

rely solely on any wireless device for essential communications like medical emergencies.
