Making Emergency Calls
By default, the SOS button has already been pre-programmed at the
factory to reach the emergency network or the emergency service
number designated by the communications service provider in your
region. In addition to your SOS button, you may also program other
buttons or the Phone Book to reach roadside assistance or concierge
service. The phone will always have an emergency calling ability
through this button, with or without a valid SIM card inserted into the
phone. To send an emergency request from the Wherifone, press your
preprogrammed emergency button once to pull up the Emergency
number and then press and HOLD for four (4) seconds (Figure 1.5).
Emergency Operators must be able to validate the emergency before
the Emergency Providers (Police, Fire Department, Ambulance, etc.)
are dispatched to your location.
Making Voice Calls
Your Wherifone is capable of taking incoming calls from any number
or making outgoing calls to a total of 23 preprogrammed numbers
(23 preprogrammed numbers in addition to SOS for emergencies).
Program the Dial Buttons
To program your dial buttons, logon to the location service provider’s

how to program a button on the website.
Receive, Make, and End Calls
To receive a phone call, you will hear the Wherifone’s distinctive ring,
then press the menu/OK button to pick-up and begin talking. The phone
number of the incoming call will be displayed on the screen unless the
number is blocked, in which case the word “CALL” will be displayed.
