Emergency Calls
Never rely solely upon your wireless phone for essential communications (e.g., medical emergencies), if it can be avoided,
since a wireless phone requires a complex combination of radio signals, relay stations and landline networks for its
operation. Consequently, emergency calls may not always be possible under all conditions on all wireless phone systems.
Your wireless phone, however, may sometimes be the only available means of communication at the scene of an accident.
When making an emergency call, always give the recipient all necessary information as accurately as possible. Never
terminate an emergency call until you have received clearance to do so.
FCC enhanced 911 (E911) rules
Background
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires wireless carriers to transmit specic latitude and longitude
location (Automatic Location Identication = ALI) information as well as “911“ calls to Public Safety Answering Points
(PSAPs) to identify the location of the caller in case of emergency.
Generally, the rules require that carriers identify an E911 caller’s location within 50 meters of the actual location for 67
percent of calls and within 150 meters of the actual location for 95 percent of calls.
Sharp FX PLUS’s ALI Capability
The Sharp FX PLUS is an ALI-capable phone equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver supporting a
satellite-based GPS ALI-capable network to comply with the FCC’s ALI requirements.
The network compliance with the above FCC requirements is dependent on: (a) the use of digital technology by the
wireless network: (b) GPS satellite signals being able to reach the handset (such transmissions do not always work indoors,
for example) : and (c) handset signals reaching wireless “base stations“ (atmospheric and environmental conditions may
cause variations in handset receiving signal strength).
Also the transmission of the ALI information is subject, in part, to system constraints within the wireless network to which
the E911 signal is transmitted and over which Sharp FX PLUS has no control.
Finally, customers are advised that the Sharp FX PLUS’s ALI capability is to be used for E911 purposes only.
This feature allows you to place an emergency call even if your phone is in “Phone Lock“ or “Restrict“ mode when you dial
the preprogrammed emergency number, 911, #911, or *911. It also operates in out-of-service areas. The phone maintains
the emergency mode until you press the Power/Lock key after disconnecting an emergency call. In emergency call mode,
the phone can receive an incoming call from any available system.
To call “911“ in “Phone Lock“ or “Restrict“ mode.
