  7. Sharing your location is required for accuracy and success of this feature.
    • If location settings have not yet been enabled, tap Ok, then tap Allow while using the App.
    • It is required to update the location permissions to Always so emergency responders are provided an accurate location. Tap Go To Settings and change the location permissions to Always and tap the Precise Location toggle switch to enable it.
  8. Once this is changed, return to the customer app, then tap Next.
  9. Practice pressing and holding the Hold until safe button and then releasing when instructed.

To use the Safety Button:

  1. Log into the customer app.
  2. Tap Safety Button.
  3. Tap and hold down the button.
  4. When Enter PIN if safe displays, the PIN code can be entered within 10 seconds to cancel the alert.
    • If the event is not canceled, a trained operator will receive an emergency request with your name, phone number, GPS coordinates, and PIN code. The operator will then send an SMS text message and attempt a call to confirm if help is needed. If there is no response from the SMS, the operator will attempt to call.
       
      Note: An active event can be canceled by tapping I don’t need help. This will prompt the user to verify the cancellation using their PIN code.
       
    • If there is no response or the event is still not canceled, an emergency response will be dispatched to the last known GPS location.
       
      Note: After a call is placed to the user, the user can still choose to reply by text. If no response is given to either method of communication, an emergency response will be dispatched.
