Accidental Emergency SOS

SomeDude · 2020-08-04 06:47:26

Hi there, I accidentally set this off while trying to turn off an alarm. I turned it off after it gave off a few loud beeps. Should you normally alert emergency services that this was an accident? Thanks

The beeps are just a countdown to alert you that an SOS Emergency call is about to be made if you continue. The call itself isn’t made until the beeps end. not sure how many beeps it does, but it doesn’t sound like you got that far.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I was a bit surprised when it happened! Hopefully it didn’t connect
