Optional Password Selection/False Activations At the time of your registration, you will be given the option of establishing a user password. All aspects of your service will be identical regardless of your password decision except the way false emergency activations are handled. If established, the password will be requested by the operator to confirm an emergency activation was initiated in error. If no password or an incorrect password is given, the response center's operator will seemingly terminate the call but actually stays on the line and sends police to the last calculated vehicle location (this could be useful in duress situations). It is very important that you remember your password to prevent false dispatches. Similarly, it is also important to provide the password to any other individuals who will be driving the vehicle or who may have need to activate the system. If you decide not to establish a password, simply indicate to the operator that the emergency assistance request was initiated in error and the call will be terminated. In either case, if an activation (roadside or emergency) occurs and the operator cannot establish voice communication, police assistance will be dispatched to the vehicle. NOTE: Information regarding changing or retrieving lost passwords can be obtained by contacting the Lincoln Security Response Center at 1-800-334-1327. Acquaintance Activations It is required that you initiate an acquaintance activation shortly after receiving your vehicle and having your phone activated.
