Setting Emergency Options
The Emergency Options menu items are used to personalize your settings
for the programmable SOS button located on the top of your phone. The
programmable SOS button gives you the ability to flip open the protective
SOS button cover, press the red key located underneath, and initiate a
message and/or phone call to your dedicated contacts. These contacts could
be a family member, commercial safety service, safety office, or Iridium-
supported public emergency number (ex. 911 in U.S. or 000 in Australia).
Iridium has partnered with GEOS Travel Safety Group to provide an
emergency response coordination service for your 9575A. Upon power-up
of your phone you will be presented with the option of using this service
by having the SOS button call and message to a destination automatically
programmed for you in the phone through the menus. You will also be
prompted to register for service by visiting www.geosalliance.com/iridium
to review and accept the terms of use and enter your emergency contact
