Iridium Extreme 9575 satellite phone can be set up to alert others in case of an emergency situation experience by the phone's user.
Before setting up your Iridium Extreme satellite phone, watch this video first:
There are two options for Emergency action:
- use GEOS/IERCC for Emergency Monitoring (subscription may be required), OR
- set up your own contacts who will be contacted when the Emergency Mode is activated.
How to set up Iridium Extreme Emergency Options:
From the phone's main screen go to Menu > Setup > Location Options > Emergency Options. The following menu settings are available:
- Emergency Mode: Activate the emergency mode (same action as pressing the red SOS button on the top of the phone). When the emergency mode is activated, this menu item will change to Cancel Emergency.
- Emergency Actions: Select whether you want the phone to call, send text messages or both.
- Emergency Beep: Select whether you want the phone to beep when the emergency mode is activated.
- Message Recipient: Enter up to 3 phone numbers (in format +[country-code][area-code][number]) to which you would like text messages to be sent while in the emergency mode.
- Call Recipient: Enter the phone number to which you would like the phone to call while in the emergency mode.
- GEOS Service: Select whether you want to use the GEOS/IERCC service. If you select Use, the GEOS number will be automatically set up as Call Recipient and as one of the Message Recipients. You will also need to register your device with GEOS Emergency Monitoring at https://my-geos.com/registration.
Please note that GEOS service (recently renamed as Garmin Response) is not related to your Iridium phone service, so additional subscription and use fees may apply if you decide to register or use GEOS services. More information can be obtained by contacting GEOS directly.
