Making Emergency Calls
By default, the SOS button has already been pre-programmed at the factory to reach the emergency network or the emergency service number designated by the communications service provider in your region. In addition to your SOS button, you may also program other buttons or the Phone Book to reach roadside assistance or concierge service. The phone will always have an emergency calling ability through this button, with or without a valid SIM card inserted into the phone. To send an emergency request from the Wherifone, press your preprogrammed emergency button once to pull up the Emergency number and then press and HOLD for four (4) seconds (Figure 1.5). Emergency Operators must be able to validate the emergency before the Emergency Providers (Police, Fire Department, Ambulance, etc.) are dispatched to your location.
