Hi Pika,

Not sure if you read the stuff at the link, but it's got nothing to do with using Earthmate (I use the app as well). If you've got it packed somewhere where something can press against it continuously, it can send an SOS without your knowledge. This has been repeated by a number of people with their devices.

I've also never had an uncommanded SOS sent, but that's probably because I carry it by itself in a loose pocket, not tightly against anything. My post is kind of a warning for folks to be careful how they carry one, if they carry one.
