The green button lets you keep track of the start and end times of your work sheet. The amber helps track your position while you’re into any risky situations. It tracks you on a map and gets you to report your your safety every ten minutes until the amber alert is deactivated. The red button even makes use of GPS technology to keep track of you and allows you to directly contact the monitoring center.
