Garmin NavTalk - Manual (Page 72)

5.18 Programming Emergency Auto-Dialing
The NavTalk can be programmed to auto-dial
a programmed emergency number such as 911,
a security agency, or other emergency assistance
service. The NavTalk will allow emergency auto-
dialing even if the unit is “Locked”. Press and
hold the red
“9“ key for more than three sec-
onds. If you want to cancel before the call is
connected, press
END.
To Program Emergency Calling:
1. Press the MENUkey twice to access the Menu page.
2. Scroll down to ‘Emergency’ and press ENTER.
The Emergency Programming Page will appear.
3. Cursor to the ’Emergency’ number field and press
ENTER. Use the PHONE KEYPAD to enter the
number. You may enter 911 or an emergency
number of your choice, then press ENTER to
record. If the padlock icon is closed you must
enter the “Security Lock Code” to open before
accessing the number field.
4. Cursor to the ‘Feature Enabled’ box and press
ENTER to enable Emergency Calling. If you want
to secure the emergency number use your security
code to lock the padlock icon before exiting the page.
5. To place an Emergency call, hold down the Red “9”
key and continue holding for the two second
countdown sequence before the call is placed. A
“Pop-Up” window will announce “Emergency Acti-
vation in 2 Seconds” and place the call at the end
if you haven’t released the 9 key to cancel the call.
NOTES: If you are programming a security assist number
or number other than 911 you may want to test the
Emergency Activation to insure that you have entered the
correct number. You can activate this feature even when
the phone is locked and you can also manually enter 911
while the unit is locked. The emergency number will not
appear on the Last Dialed Number list to prevent inad-
vertent emergency calls. Emergency calling will override
scan options and use any available system. Therefore,
The NavTalk may roam for an emergency call, even
though “HOME” is the only scan selected.
