Safety for Hill Walkers
DELAY name mins (Optional Text) If during your activity you realise that more time is needed, you can delay the Alarm time by sending a DELAY message. This message should contain the Alert name and the numeric number of minutes to extend the Alert by. You can add up to 1439 minutes (23hours 59mins) to an Alert. Each time you delay an alert, you will be charged an additional token (50p). You can optionally use the keyword WAIT rather than DELAY, both have the same effect. If you omit the Alert name and only one is running at the time, that will be taken as the Alert to delay. You can also include an explanation message about why you are delayed if required.
