INFORMATION ABOUT SAFEGUARDING HANDSETS
T-Mobile encourages customers to take appropriate
measures to secure their handsets and invites them to
take advantage of the features available on this handset
to help secure it from theft and/or other unauthorized
access and use. This handset has a locking function (e.g.,
user-dened codes or patterns) that can serve as a rst
line of defense against unauthorized use or access to
stored information. Preloaded security applications that al-
low customers to track or locate misplaced devices can be
found on several T-Mobile devices. Lost or stolen devices
should be immediately reported to T-Mobile so that proper
measures can be taken to protect accounts. For additional
information, visit: T-Mobile.com/devicesecurity and
T-Mobile.com/Company/PrivacyResources.aspx.
EMERGENCY DIALING
Although all phones are equipped with 9-1-1 emergency
calling, this phone may or may not permit its location to
be approximated during a 9-1-1 call.*
*Availability of this feature depends on upgrades to the
(a) wireless network and (b) 9-1-1 calling system that are
required to be installed by the local 9-1-1 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 infor-
mation 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 ap-
proximate location is transmitted to the local 9-1-1 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.
