      How Do I Use SOS in the Bivy App?

      This article demonstrates how to use SOS within the Bivy app.

      The following is demonstrated using screenshots from an iPhone. Please note that WorkerSafety Pro for Android will look nearly identical to the screenshots shown here.

      Note: A Bivy satellite device must be connected to your Bivy app before you can use the in-app SOS. Click here for instructions on how to do so.

      1. Open the Bivy app on your phone.
      2. Tap the "STICK" tab at the bottom of the screen.
      3. Ensure that you have satellite connection on the Bivy satellite device. You'll know when the device has connection when the signal light turns green.
      4. Tap the red "SOS" icon.
      5. After tapping the SOS icon, you will be prompted to either continue or not. Tap "YES".
      6. On the next screen, type "SOS" (not case sensitive) in the text box and tap "SEND."
         
      7. After the SOS has been triggered, you'll receive a message indicating that an SOS has been initiated.
      8. After an operator receives the alarm, you'll receive a message indicating emergency personnel are being contacted.
