Sending an Emergency Message

1. Make sure that you have defined the

recipient for the emergency message.

2. Make sure that the device has a clear view

of the sky for optimal GPS signal
reception.

3. Press and hold the Volume down button on

the side of the device for 6 seconds to
activate the program. (If you have not
defined the recipient, the program will
display a notification message.)

4. The program will activate the GPS port of the device and search for the

GPS data, and then send the message. (You may use the Quick Position
program for a quicker GPS position acquisition. See section 8.2 for
information.)

If you have defined multiple recipients, then all recipients will receive
this message.

5. The program will automatically send notifications to let you know the

message has been sent out.

If the device has received the GPS data (in about 2 minutes), the message
will contain the longitude and latitude information. If the device fails to
receive the GPS data, then the message will only show that you need help.
