Emergency Settings

When a NotifySync security lock is activated on a device, via either the Inactivity Timeout or Challenge Timeout, users may still make emergency calls from the device if they have enabled the Emergency Call feature and configured up to four selectable emergency numbers.

When the Emergency Call feature is enabled and the device locks, the security lock dialog displays the Emergency Call button.  You can select the button and then initiate emergency number dialing by selecting one of the buttons that has been configured through these settings. 

 

NotifySync also prompts to you edit the emergency number fields when:

•      You turn on Inactivity Timeout or Challenge Timeout. See Lock Settings
•      You change the time zone setting on your device. (A reminder to update the fields with local numbers)
