OUTGOING CALLS AND MESSAGES 39
PART C: OPERATING THE SERAPH
Emergency cycle
Emergency cycle means making specific emergency call to
pre-configured numbers. During the emergency cycle pre-
configured emergency settings (e.g. tone and display set-
tings) are automatically switched on until the cycle is over.
Depending on configuration, the emergency settings can be
kept on even after the cycle is over.
Depending on configuration, the emergency call can con-
tain both (voice) calls and messages. Calls can be made to
mobile phone numbers, or normal phone numbers. Messag-
es are protocol messages sent to mobile phones via SMS.
The emergency message contains both GPS coordinates and
GSM network measurement report.
The emergency numbers are in priority order, starting from
the top of the list. These numbers work automatically,
as "a chain", through the list. If the first number is unreach-
able (after two attempts), the device calls or sends the re-
port to the second number. If it is not answered either, the
device will go on to the third number on the list and so on.
The device tries to reach contact with the other numbers
once
before moving on to the next number on the list. If
there is still no answer after going through the whole list,
the calling procedure will be started all over.

The emergency cycle is over when the calls are made and
messages are sent (if the cycle is not interrupted, or can-
celled), and the device returns to normal operation.
