Emergency Beep; Message Recipient - Iridium Extreme User Manual

Emergency Beep

Message Recipient

In the Emergency Options menu, Message Recipient will allow you
to program up to three (3) contacts that will receive Emergency Mode
notifications via messaging. In order for this feature to operate, "Message
and Call" or "Message Only" needs to be selected in Emergency Actions.
The default setting for Message Recipient is "empty", meaning that
recipients need to be added in order to notify a designated contact
in the event of an emergency. Additionally you may configure the
Message Recipient to contact GEOS service by selecting "GEOS Service",
the last menu option under "Emergency Options". Details on GEOS
Service can be found in the written materials found in your phone box
or on Iridium.com.
It is recommended that message recipients are stored as email addresses.
If using mobile carrier SMS numbers, not all wireless carriers have
interoperability arrangements and therefore these numbers should
be tested prior to relying upon them for emergencies. Email addresses
should also be tested.
