SOS Locator – emergency call, SMS and location

Your phone is equipped with a special SOS Locator function, which allows you to

The phone can also automatically call a preset number.

If you press the key (e) by mistake, you can always send the SMS automatically

and end the call by pressing the Cancel key on the screen.

The position is determined on the basis of the built-in satellite GPS receiver,

further orientation in the operator's network, or identification of the surrounding

WiFi networks. The most accurate position information is usually provided by a

GPS satellite receiver, but it only works outdoors when the phone has a view of

the sky. The location using WiFi and the operator's network is used inside the

buildings. The accuracy depends on the density of the network in a given position

and the degree of WiFi mapping.

This service is provided without any guarantee, at the user's own risk and the

accuracy of the results and availability of the service is not guaranteed in any

way by the telephone supplier, operator or provider of map materials and the

service can be terminated at any time without notice.

SOS function settings

For the SOS Locator service to function properly, it is necessary that the Internet

connection is activated on the phone, either via the mobile network or via WiFi,

optimally both.

menu button (f), then select BIG Launcher ALIGATOR settings, select the SOS

item in the Functions section and activate the following items by checking them:

call button (e)),

the text "SOS" here, otherwise the message with the location may not be sent

correctly !!!)

Add GPS position (allows you to add to the SMS the position determined by the

focus from GPS, the operator's network or using the surrounding WiFi networks)

Send GPS SMS (not necessary, but allows you to send another SMS if the phone

manages to find out a more accurate location in a short time than in the SMS

sent after pressing the button)

Call (allows you to automatically call preset numbers after pressing the SOS

button)

Dialed number (telephone number to be called automatically)
