The SOS button on the Gabb Watch is a critical safety feature designed to allow your child to quickly and discreetly alert a designated contact during an emergency. It functions as a lifeline, providing peace of mind for both children and parents.
Understanding the SOS Function
The primary purpose of the SOS function is to enable your child to notify an SOS contact when they are in distress or need immediate help. This feature is built into the watch to be simple to activate and effective in critical moments.
How the SOS Button Works
Activating the SOS feature is straightforward, ensuring that a child can use it even under pressure:
- Activation Method: To initiate an SOS alert, your child needs to press and hold the back button on the Gabb Watch for four seconds. This specific duration helps prevent accidental activations while making it accessible when needed.
- Discreet Notification: Once activated, the Gabb Watch will discreetly notify the pre-set SOS contact. This quiet alert mechanism allows the child to signal for help without drawing undue attention, which can be crucial in certain emergency situations.
- Who is Contacted: The alert is sent to a single, designated SOS contact that you set up through your Gabb account. This ensures that the notification goes directly to the most appropriate person responsible for your child's safety.
Setting Up SOS Contacts
Managing the SOS contact for your child's Gabb Watch is done through your Gabb account, offering flexibility and control:
- One Contact Per Watch: Each Gabb Watch can have one dedicated SOS contact assigned to it. This streamlines the emergency response by directing alerts to a specific individual.
- Customizable for Each Watch: If you have multiple Gabb Watches for different children, you can set up a different SOS contact for each individual watch. This allows you to tailor emergency contacts to each child's specific needs or the primary caregiver responsible for them. For instance, one child's watch might alert a parent, while another's might alert a grandparent or other trusted adult.
This safety feature is a core component of the Gabb Watch's design, emphasizing child safety and parental connectivity.
