Sending an SOS request when you are hurt from a fall
When a big impact occurs, the Watch will detect the hurt from a fall through your arm’s
movement and it will display the alert while vibrating and emitting sound.
If you do not respond within 60 seconds, the emergency call will be made and an SOS
message will be sent out automatically to the previously registered contacts after the
countdown.
•
The Watch may believe that you have been hurt in a fall if you are doing a high
impact exercise. If it is so, cancel the alert not to send the SOS message.
•
If the
Share info with emergency contacts
feature is turned off, a message that
includes your current location will not be sent to emergency contacts.
•
If you want to cancel the SOS request or manually place an emergency call and
send the SOS message after a hard fall, open the
Galaxy Wearable
app on your
phone, tap
Watch settings
→
Safety and emergency
→
Hard fall detection
, and
then tap the
Countdown
switch to turn it off.
Stop sharing the location information
While sharing your location information, the icon appears on the Watch screen, and

.
If you do not stop sending SOS messages, additional messages that include your
location information will be continuously sent to the previously registered contacts
every 15 minutes for 24 hours after the first SOS message is sent. However, the
message will be sent only when your current location is some distance away from
the location where the last message is sent.
