SOS
During an emergency, you can use your Tread - Overland Edition device to contact the Garmin
®
International
Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC) to request help. Pressing the SOS button sends a message
to the Garmin IERCC, and they notify the appropriate emergency responders of your situation. You can
communicate with the Garmin IERCC 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
CAUTION
While the device is in SOS mode, do not turn off or attempt to turn off the device. Doing so could prevent this
feature from operating properly and could delay receipt of assistance in the event of an emergency.
1 Open the SOS door on the device .
2 Press the SOS button .
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.
Your device transmits the cancellation request. When you receive a confirmation message from the emergency
response service, the device returns to normal operation.
