7. Main Screen
Alert Activation Button
Your phone number appears on top
left in blue.
GPS Location coordinates are shown
in the header in yellow
Different models of phone behave
differently when it comes to GPS.
Some determine their location quickly,
and some do not. There are many
factors in how quickly and how well a
phone determines where it is. So, we
think it important that you know what it
knows.
That is the reason the location
coordinates and accuracy are shown
in the header.
When the accuracy of the location of
the phone is within 500 meters, the
orange Alert Activation Button turns
red.
When this button is pressed, CTSafe
sends its messages to the authorities
and initiates a call to 911 from your
phone. When the button is red, the
information is more accurate.

to get help from friends when there is an
uncomfortable social situation which you

receive a text when you want someone to
know where you are, but there is no
emergency and no action is desired. A
