In the Emergency Options menu, the
Emergency Mode allows you to initiate
an emergency call and/or message to
your programmed contacts. The more
direct way to initiate Emergency Mode
is to press the red SOS button located
on the top of your phone.
If Emergency Mode is active, this
menu item can be used to cancel
Emergency Mode. When Emergency
Mode is activated, the option to cancel
Emergency Mode also appears on the
screen.
To initiate Emergency Mode from the
menu, highlight "Emergency Mode"
and press the left soft key, labeled
Select.
After selecting Enter Emergency Mode
the countdown screen appears. You will
have 20 seconds to press the right soft
key labeled Cancel to stop Emergency
Mode if initiated accidentally. This
feature is designed to help reduce
false notifications to your designated
emergency contacts.
Once in Emergency Mode the phone
will initiate a call and/or message to
your designated contacts. The phone
call (if programmed) will occur in
speakerPhone Mode and will retry if
the attempted call is unsuccessful.
