Initiating an Emergency Alert
The device allows you to send an emergency message to your paired contacts. This is a supplemental feature and should not be relied upon as a primary method to obtain emergency assistance. The emergency alert feature does not contact emergency services on your behalf.
Before you can initiate an emergency alert, you must turn on the transmitter (Turning On and Off the Transmitter).
Before someone can receive your emergency alert, someone must add you as a contact (Methods to Add a Contact to the Navigator) and their compatible Alpha® navigator must be in VHF range.
You can use an emergency alert when you need immediate assistance and you are away from your group.

When your contact accepts your emergency alert request, the device displays a message indicating that your contact has started navigating to your location.
After receiving the alert, your contacts can navigate to your location.
