Sending a Custom SOS Message

You can initiate an SOS rescue with a custom message using the SOS page.

Select SOS > Emergency > Write SOS.
Select Message: to compose a custom SOS message.
Select Send Message.
Reply to the confirmation message from the emergency response service.

Your reply lets the emergency response service know that you are capable of interacting with them during the rescue.

For the first 10 minutes of your rescue, an updated location is sent to the emergency response service every minute. To conserve battery power after the first 10 minutes, an updated location is sent every 10 minutes when moving, and every 30 minutes when stationary.
