![]() The company often patents different hardware and software products as a form of marketing, and also to stop rival companies launching the same products. Of course, just because Apple has patented a system for a panic mode on iPhones doesn't mean that it's actually going to be included in a future iPhone. And the company's iOS 9 mobile operating system included Siri app suggestions that provide a list of commonly used apps. ![]() The iPhone 6S included a feature named 3D Touch that let users press on the phone screen to quickly jump to functions within apps. When the fingerprint of the user's index finger is captured, when the mobile device is unlocked, a telephone application may be launched to allow the user to place a call after the mobile device has been unlocked.Īpple has been updating its software to make it easier to jump to commonly used apps and functions. In one example, a fingerprint of an index finger may indicate that a call is to be placed. Here's how the Apple patent explains it:ĭepending on the fingerprint that was captured, a particular action may be carried out when the device is unlocked. There's also an intriguing system outlined in the patent that would let iPhone users quickly jump to specific applications when a certain finger is used to unlock the phone. Apple also mentions that panic mode could trigger the iPhone's microphone, and the user could describe the person who is attacking them. Apple says that the iPhone could then securely send those files over the internet to the user's iCloud account, and could then be turned over to the police. The panic mode could also be used to capture photographs or video of a thief who is trying to steal an iPhone. So when the receiver pushes the panic button, you will get a sound signal transferred from the receiver that includes his or her location on the map. Apple's patent suggests that this mode would be useful for emergency situations or if someone is trying to steal the iPhone. Users can add multiple fingerprints to the phone's software - but Apple suggests adding a secret finger that, when used to unlock the phone, makes it enter panic mode.Īpple says that when an iPhone is unlocked using a "panic finger," the iPhone realises that the user is in "distress" and limits access to personal data. Modern iPhones use a system called TouchID that lets users unlock the phones by holding down their finger on the home button. Basically it's a system to lock down the phone if a user is forced to unlock it with their fingerprint. The Apple patent, dated May 5 2014, includes lots of different potential functions for panic mode. Be careful not to bend the wireless transmitter's antenna while removing or installing a battery.Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders. ![]() Simply remove the (2) cover screws to get inside the 5869 to replace the battery. The 5869 will send a low battery trouble signal when the battery if almost dead. The commercial panic button is powered by one 3V lithium battery. If you are experiencing RF supervision troubles, you should either relocate your Honeywell 5869 commercial panic button or you should add a Honeywell 5800RP wireless repeater between the security system and the 5869. If the 5869, is out of range a RF supervision trouble signal will be activated until the device is seen by the wireless security system. ![]() The nominal wireless range of the 5869 wireless panic switch is 200' back to the wireless security system. You should not install the 5869 under metal counters or desks as it will reduce the panic button's wireless range. Another tamper can be triggered if the 5869 is forcibly removed from its mounting surface. One tamper will be triggered if the cover of the holdup switch is removed. The Honeywell 5869 has (2) separate tamper switches. The panic switch is then ready to trip another panic alarm. Once the holdup switch has been activated, you must use the included reset key to restore the 5869. However, you may program the holdup switch with whichever response type suits your application. Typically the 5869 wireless transmitter is programmed as a 24 hour silent zone type so that the central monitoring station can send the police immediately without the intruder being tipped off with a local alarm. With the 5869 panic button mounted under a counter or desk, the employee simply sticks his or her finger in the hole and pulls forward to activate a panic alarm even when your security system is disarmed. Protect your employees by providing them with a discreet way to signal a panic alarm. The 5869 works great as a holdup button for underneath a desk or cash register. The Honeywell 5869 is a wireless commercial panic switch.
