SOS During an emergency, you can contact the GEOS International Emergency Rescue Coordination Center (IERCC) to request help. Pressing the SOS button sends a message to the rescue coordination center, and they notify the appropriate emergency responders of your situation. You can communicate with the rescue coordination center during your emergency while you wait for help to arrive. You should only use the SOS function in a real emergency situation. Initiating an SOS Rescue Before you can initiate an SOS rescue using your zūmo device, you must pair it with a compatible inReach device (Connecting an inReach Device, page 4). NOTE: While in SOS mode, the inReach device cannot be turned off. 1 Select Apps > inReach. 2 Select . 3 Wait for the SOS countdown. The device sends a default message to the emergency response service with details about your location. 4 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. Canceling an SOS Rescue If you no longer need assistance, you can cancel an SOS rescue after it is sent to the emergency response service. Select Cancel SOS > Cancel SOS. Your device transmits the cancellation request. When you receive a confirmation message from the emergency response service, the device returns to normal operation. Viewing Helmet Law Notifications Helmet law and eye protection notifications may appear on your zūmo device the first time your device acquires satellites and when your device approaches a location with motorcycle safety rules.
