Turning Incident Detection On and Off

NOTE: Your paired phone must be equipped with a data plan and be in an area of network coverage where data is available.

Before you can enable incident detection on your device, you must set up emergency contacts in the Garmin Connect™ app (Adding Emergency Contacts). Your emergency contacts must be able to receive emails or text messages (standard text messaging rates may apply).

  1. Hold the touchscreen to view the menu.
  2. Select Settings symbol > Safety and tracking symbol > Incident detection symbol.
  3. Select an activity.
    NOTE: Incident detection is available only for certain outdoor activities.

When an incident is detected by your vívomove® 3/3S device with GPS enabled, the Garmin Connect app can send an automated text message and email with your name and GPS location (if available) to your emergency contacts. You have 15 seconds to cancel the message.
