Iridium Emergency Activation
Once the emergency activation (SOS) button is pressed and the screen is on, the top section of the
display will turn red during an emergency. It turns back to black when the device is taken out of
Emergency mode. Once the emergency activation button is pressed, the screen will initiate an
Iridium emergency confirmation screen. If Yes or No are not pressed on the confirmation screen,
the Iridium emergency message by default will commence sending after 30 seconds. (Note that
confirmation screen can be accessed via the SOS button or by pressing the "Utilities" icon on the
Home screen followed by the "Iridium SOS" icon on the Utilities screen)
If No is selected on the confirmation screen after pressing the SOS button, a screen will appear
alerting you to press the SOS button for 3 – 4 seconds to cancel the Iridium distress alert (pressing
the SOS button for 3 – 4 seconds will cancel both the Iridium and 406 MHz distress alerts).
If Yes is selected on the confirmation screen, a screen will appear with a drop down list of canned
messages to describe the nature of your emergency situation.
