Manufacturers of 911 only devices that are manufactured after May 3, 2004, are required to:
(1) Program each device with 911 plus the decimal representation of the seven least significant digits of the electronic serial number, International Mobile Equipment Identifier or any other identifier unique to that device;
(2) Affix to each device a label that is designed to withstand the length of service expected for a nonservice initialized phone, and which notifies the user that the device can only be used to dial 911, that the 911 operator will not be able to call the user back, and that the user should convey the exact location of the emergency as soon as possible; and
(3) Institute a public education program to provide the users of such devices with information regarding the limitations of 911 only devices.
