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 RAS’ 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 RAS 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 RAS external antenna should have
a clear view of the sky with no obstructions in order to maintain network connectivity.
Initiating an S.O.S.
1. From the Sat-Fi2 App Home screen, select S.O.S., slide the globe to the right and follow the on-screen
instructions. For best results, while S.O.S. is active, the Sat-Fi2 RAS Magnetic Mount Helix Antenna should
have a clear view of the sky with no obstructions in order to maintain network connectivity.
2. Once S.O.S. is initiated and GEOS IERCC has received acknowledgment of your request, the Sat-Fi2 RAS
will continuously send S.O.S. notifications with your GPS position to GEOS IERCC every 5 minutes until
S.O.S. is cancelled or the Sat-Fi2 RAS is powered off.
NOTE: If the Satellite LED is blinking RED, move the Sat-Fi2 RAS antenna to a location with a better
view of the sky. Keep looking for a better location until the Satellite LED starts to blink GREEN.
3. Sat-Fi2 RAS will then enable you to talk or text with GEOS IERCC via the Sat-Fi2 App.
