LIGHTSWhat do the Lights Mean?

GPS Light

All Lights

• All lights flashing simultaneously at the same time is a warning that the SIM card has failed to register with the device. The MySOS needs to be restarted to rectify the problem.

• If the problem persists, the battery is low in power and needs recharging immediately.

• You must fully charge the battery before using the device for the first time.

CHARGING

• Plug the charger into the MySOS unit’s USB port and connect to a 240 volt wall socket. Please do not use excess force when plugging the charger into the USB port as this may damage the connection. The device will take 8 - 12 hours to charge before using it for the first time. Thereafter, it will only take 3 - 5 hours to fully re-charge.

• The battery light will switch off once the MySOS is fully charged.

• To switch the device on or off, press and hold the side ‘On / Off’ button for four seconds.

ON / OFF

• When turning the MySOS off, the battery light will illuminate fully along with the GSM and GPS lights flashing, to confirm the device is switched off.

Switching the Device On and Off

• Press and hold the large SOS button for four seconds. An alarm containing the device's location will be sent to the IMC.

An audible beep will be heard confirming the two-way voice connection has been made. Note; this can take up to one minute. The Skyguard controller will be listening to the call silently and only talk if they believe it is safe to do so.

RAISING AN ALARM

• If you activate the MySOS device by mistake, please inform the Skyguard controller as soon as the call is answered by saying “Activation call”.

The controller will ask questions based on your user details to confirm that it is not an emergency and will then end the call.
