How to use your Galaxy phone in emergency situations
In a critical situation, your Galaxy phone can make all the difference. You can use it to make emergency calls or contact loved ones in a time of
need. And if you have to act quickly, you can dial right from the Lock screen. On top of this, you can turn on Emergency mode. This will help
conserve battery life by altering some of the phone's functions, such as decreasing the screen's brightness and limiting apps. With Emergency
mode, your phone's battery can last for a couple days.
Note: The Home screen will be changed to a black theme to reduce battery consumption. Available screens and settings may vary by wireless
service provider, software version, and phone model.
Emergency calling
Make an emergency call from the Lock screen
When something urgent is happening, you probably won't have time to unlock your phone and call 9-1-1. If you have a security measure in place,
like a PIN or a biometric security, you can make an emergency call right from the Lock screen. Just swipe up on your phone's screen to be taken
to the Lock screen, and then tap
contacts will also appear at the top of the screen. Finally, a Medical info icon will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap this to show any
medical information you've added to your personal contact.
Make an emergency call with no service or SIM card
In a dire situation, you can still make emergency calls even if you don't have service or a working SIM card. As long as there is a network signal
nearby, your phone will let you contact 9-1-1. The network doesn't even have to be your own carrier - it just needs a signal that is strong enough
to put the call through. When you need to make an emergency call, dial 9-1-1 the way you normally would on your phone.
Make a call while in Emergency mode
The Home screen in Emergency mode will only display the apps and functions you absolutely need. This includes the Phone app and the
Emergency call option.
Tap the Phone app to access all of your contacts, so you can still make a call to family members and friends. The Keypad is also available if you
need to dial a new number.
Tap Emergency call at the bottom of the Home screen to dial 9-1-1. Tap
Activate Emergency mode
Note: You will be able to use the Phone app to make a call to a specified contact and also to make emergency calls. You can also turn on the
flashlight and sound alarms and send your location information to others in a message.
