How Does the S.O.S. Button Work?

The SatSleeve Hotspot comes equipped with an S.O.S. button that works even if your smart phone is not connected. The S.O.S. button will make an outgoing call to a predefined number set by the user. The S.O.S. button can also receive an incoming call. The SatSleeve Hotspot has a built-in microphone and speaker. So when you make an S.O.S. call or receive an inbound call using the S.O.S. button you can communicate directly through the SatSleeve Hotspot even if its Wi-Fi is off or no smart phone is available!

Operates as a Stand-Alone Satellite Phone

The SatSleeve Hotspot can run for about 70 hours in Standby mode if the Wi-Fi is turned off. So if you are in a situation where you need to conserve power, turning off the SatSleeve Hotspot's Wi-Fi and using it without your smart phone can be important. Even without a smart phone, you can make a phone call to one pre-configured number using nothing but the S.O.S. button on the SatSleeve Hotspot. You can also receive inbound calls using the S.O.S. button. When an incoming call occurs, a vibration alert lets you know.

How Long Does the Battery Last?

If only phone calls are made, about 3 hours of talk time is available on a single charge. A fully discharged battery takes about 2.5 hours to recharge. The battery charge status is shown in the SatSleeve Hotspot App. There is also an LED on the SatSleeve Hotspot itself that turns from red to blue when the battery is fully charged. See the specifications page for detailed battery life, operating temperature, and storage temperature information. Outfitter Satellite offers a backpack mountable solar charger for use with the SatSleeve Hotspot.
