SOS

IMPORTANT! Use SOS only in an emergency. Do not test—all SOS activations are real and a false activation could
result in charges to you.
The SOS feature uses the inReach to send a message to GEOS Search and Rescue in a critical or life-threatening
emergency. With the Earthmate app and your Android phone, you can type a message giving GEOS details about your
situation and they can reply to you. They will dispatch emergency services and notify the emergency contacts you
listed in your explore.delorme.com account.
Your location will be sent to GEOS as follows:
• First ten minutes, every sixty seconds
• Ten minutes to one hour, every ten minutes
• One hour to eight hours, every 15 minutes
• Eight hours to 24 hours, every 60 minutes
After the first ten minutes, if you are stationary, your location is sent every thirty minutes; the transmission rate is
slowed to preserve battery life. If you don't need to move for safety reasons, stay where you are to preserve battery
life and to make it easier for search and rescue to locate you.
You can monitor the SOS on the Tracking details page. From there you can also cancel the SOS or go back to the
conversation thread. The tracking points and messages are also visible on the map.
Note If you do not have a clear view of the sky, the SOS messages will be stored and then sent as soon as you have
a good signal. The Signal LED will flash green when messages are being sent; it will flash red when you do not have a
good signal.
