Congratulations! Your setup is complete.
Step 5: Understanding Alert Types:
- In the 'Alert' section, you will see a yellow and a red button.
- The yellow button is for the silent alarm with silent emergency notifications to your contacts who will receive a link with your live location updates and perioding audio recordings if your phone allows that . This is activated with one click at the back of your jewelry, or by touching the yellow button of your ResQ-App on your phone or smartwatch
- The red button is for a loud alarm and text message to your country-specific emergency number (911 in the United States), along with silent emergency notification to your contacts who will receive a link with your live location updates and perioding audio recordings if your phone allows that. This is activated by double-clicking the back of your jewelry, or touching the red button of your ResQ-App of your phone or smartwatch
- When you double-click your ResQ jewelry to activate the Red/loud alert, .please note that the loud alarm will play only if your phone is not in the silent mode and volume has not been turned off - but rest assured, the silent alerts with a link for location mapping to your emergency contacts will still be sent.
- If you wish to disable the loud alarm and text to 911, and instead prefer only the option of discreet alert with a single-click or double-click, please select “Profile” tab at the bottom of your app and select “Alert Settings”. There you will see the “Enable Loud Alert” button which can be toggled off.
- The default settings will enable both silent and loud alerts on but we recommend checking the “Alert Settings” page to ensure that you choose the options that best fit your preferences.
Step 6: Test the System:
- It’s a good idea to do a test run. Activate your ResQ Jewelry as you would in an emergency.
- Check if your emergency contacts receive the alert and if all settings function as expected. Inform your contacts in advance that this is a test.
