Default In reach pocket sending emergency call, anyone who has one please read.

Our Search and Rescue Group has had 3 false calls in the last week. The guys Inreach is in their pack and its pocket dialing, sending the 911 message. We've had helicopters enroute all three times before they check their pack. We will be contacting inreach to let them know. All three times the Inreach control Centre says it shouldn't occur as you need to lift a flap and hold the button for several seconds. I suggest carrying your unit in a plastic container or put tape over that switch cover.
