required for this service. Additional information on this service can be found
on www.iridium.com in the 9575A section by viewing the emergency service
section. To view or modify your settings, navigate to Emergency Options and
then down to GEOS Service (the last menu option after “Call Recipient”). From
this menu option you will have the option to “Use” or “Not Use”. If you select
“Use”, you will be prompted to “Please confirm you have registered at www.
geosalliance.com/iridium”. You will need to register and then your phone will
be pre-programmed to send your location with an emergency message to
GEOS and will initiate a phone call to the GEOS response coordination center.
Standard airtime charges will apply for emergency mode messages and/or
calls to GEOS.
If you select to “Not Use” GEOS, then you will need to program your
emergency “Call Recipient” and “Message Recipient” information in order
for the SOS button to initiate contact with those dedicated contacts. To
view or modify your settings, navigate to Chapter 14: GPS and Location-
Based Services under the section “Setting Emergency Options”.
In addition to the peace of mind delivered through the included Emergency
Response service, GEOS also offers optional add-on Membership Benefits
to enhance your safety and security worldwide including GEOS Search

Response Service, GEOS Search and Rescue (SAR) Membership and the GEOS

fails to register and contract separately with GEOS for SAR and/or GEOS
MEDIVAC™. Any issues, terms and conditions and limitations of liability related
to your 9575A are outlined in this 9575A User Manual. The use of the GEOS
Emergency Response service requires agreement to GEOS’s emergency
