ZOLEO Global Satellite Communicator User Manual
To cancel an SOS alert using your ZOLEO communicator, hold
down the SOS button for five seconds.
Each LED will emit a green flash in turn. A descending tone is also
emitted, indicating that your SOS alert has been cancelled. You
may also cancel the SOS using the connected ZOLEO App.

9. Send a Check-in Message

A check-in message can be sent by pressing the check-in button
on your ZOLEO communicator or via the connected ZOLEO App.
All check-in messages are sent to your specified check-in
contacts (selected upon activation) and by default, include your
position with a link to a pin-on-map graphic showing your
location along with a brief "I'm OK" message. Sending the
coordinates of your location can be disabled in the ZOLEO App.
While the message is being sent, each LED will emit a green flash in turn. An ascending tone is
emitted when the message has been sent. If less than the minimum allowable time between
check-in messages has elapsed (i.e. 2 minutes), the check-in message will fail, and the device
will emit a descending tone. The ZOLEO App will show a check-in countdown displaying when
your next available check-in window commences. Once sent, a check-in message cannot be
cancelled.

10. Messaging

The ZOLEO App can be used to send the following types of messages:
• app-to-app (chats with other ZOLEO App users)
•
emails using a dedicated ZOLEO email address
• SMS using a dedicated ZOLEO SMS number
You can also send a request for a weather forecast for your current location.

Send a message

When you send an app-to-app message, email or SMS message, the ZOLEO App first attempts
to send it via the internet. If the app detects that no internet coverage is available, it then
attempts to send it via your ZOLEO communicator.
Messages can only be in plain text (although you can add emojis). Due to satellite network
constraints, the size of messages is limited based on message type:
