§ 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.
