SOS
The Thuraya X5-Touch allows you to make an SOS call and/or send SOS messages to
pre-determined recipients either from the SOS app or directly from the SOS button on
the side of the phone.
In the SOS settings you can:
•
Program an SOS call recipient
•
Program up to 10 SOS message recipients (SMS and email)
•
Include separate SOS messages for SMS recipients and email recipients
•
Choose the frequency of outgoing SOS messages (every 3 minutes to every 24 hours)
•
Change the format in which your coordinates will be received
Once SOS has been set up, tap
Home
for enabling SOS Call and/or SOS Message. Once
at least one of either SOS Call or SOS Message are enabled, tap SOS in the center of the
screen or press the SOS button on the side of the phone for 3 seconds to activate it (the
SOS icon will be shown in the status bar as per your configuration). To deactivate, tap
SOS in the center of the screen again.
