How to Initiate a Panic
Objective
- To better understand how to initiate a panic on a Relay Device and in the Relay Pro App
Environment / Applies To
- Relay Devices
- Relay Pro App
- Relay Essentials, Pro, and Enterprise Plans
Procedure
Initiating a Panic on a Relay Device
- Tap the talk button on the Relay rapidly at least 5 times
- The initiating device will receive an audible message informing them that the panic has been initiated and the LED lights around the Talk button will start spinning orange
- The designated Group will then receive an alert that the device has initiated a panic
- This alert will include the name, and if Indoor Location is enabled, the nearest location detail
Initiating a Panic in the Relay Pro App
- Open the Relay Pro App
- Tap the Channels Tab
- Tap Initiate Panic
- Slide the slide bar all the way to the right to confirm Panic
- Once a panic is triggered the user will notice a pink boarder around their screen, along with a panic notification
- An App user's location will only be tracked during an Active Panic Incident where that app user is the initiator
- The App User's location will be sent with the panic notification if they have location tracking enabled

Please Note:
- A virtual user cannot acknowledge their own panic, but they can resolve it
- App users on iOS with live audio enabled will not hear an audible confirmation when their panic has been acknowledged.
