§ 22.921   911 call processing procedures; 911-only calling mode.

   Mobile telephones manufactured after February 13, 2000 that are capable
   of operating in the analog mode described in the standard document ANSI
   TIA/EIA-553-A-1999 Mobile Station—Base Station Compatibility Standard
   (approved October 14, 1999—available for purchase from Global
   Engineering Documents, 15 Inverness East, Englewood, CO 80112), must
   incorporate a special procedure for processing 911 calls. Such
   procedure must recognize when a 911 call is made and, at such time,
   must override any programming in the mobile unit that determines the
   handling of a non-911 call and permit the call to be transmitted
   through the analog systems of other carriers. This special procedure
   must incorporate one or more of the 911 call system selection processes
   endorsed or approved by the FCC.
