S.O.S.
/
GEOS
IMPORTANT: S.O.S. MODE SHOULD ONLY BE USED DURING LIFE THREATENING EMERGENCIES.
SENDING FALSE S.O.S. MESSAGES MAY SJUBJECT YOU TO LIABILITY FOR ADDITIONAL
CHARGES.
Activate the S.O.S. mode to begin communicating and sending alerts directly to GEOS International Emergency
Response Coordination Center (IERCC). GEOS will notify the appropriate emergency responders based on your
Sat-Fi2
’s GPS location and your emergency situation. Responders may include local police, Coast Guard, or Search
and Rescue teams. Please note that you may be liable for expenses related to your rescue.
Once S.O.S. is initiated, the Sat-Fi2 will continuously send GEOS your GPS position every 5 minutes until the S.O.S. is
canceled or the device is powered off. While S.O.S. is active, the Sat-Fi2 should remain outside where it has a 360
clear view of the sky with no obstructions in order to maintain network connectivity.
