How to Use Your BEACON Personal Alarm Safely and Effectively

Beacon personal alarm is designed to provide you with an extra layer of security in any situation, but understanding how to use it correctly is key to maximizing the effectiveness.

Basic operation

To activate your Beacon personal alarm pull the buckle out of the alarm device. This action triggers the alarm's 130dB siren and a strobe light to disrupt attacker's vision, and attract additional attention. To deactivate the alarm, simply reinsert the buckle securely into the device.

Compared to some other devices, the pull action must be quite intentional, making it less likely to be accidentally activated compared to pull-pin or push-button types of alarms.

Once activated, the alarm will continue to work until the pin is reinserted or the battery is drained.

Independent Flashlight Operation

The flashlight is perfect for illuminating your surroundings or finding lost items, offering a safer alternative to using your smartphone. It’s simple to use: press the button on the back of the device to turn on the light. A second press switches to strobe mode, and a third press turns it off—all without triggering the alarm.

Safety Precautions

While Fortfyr personal alarms are excellent tools for personal protection, they are not toys and should be used with caution:

• Volume Warning: These alarms emit a sound at 130dB, which is extremely loud and intended to startle attackers and draw attention. Prolonged exposure to this sound can cause hearing damage, so avoid testing the alarm close to your ears.
• Strobe Light Warning: the powerful strobe light is designed to disorient attackers. Avoid looking directly at the light when activated, and keep these devices out of reach of children to prevent accidental exposure.
• Child Safety: Personal alarms should be kept away from young children, as they are not toys and can cause harm if misused.

Regular Maintenance

To ensure your alarm is always ready to protect you, follow these maintenance tips:

• Recharging: Regularly check the charge of your alarm. Most rechargeable models will have a low battery indicator, so recharge as soon as you see the warning. It’s a good idea to set a regular schedule, such as charging it once a month, to ensure it’s always ready.
• Testing: Perform a test of your alarm periodically to ensure it’s functioning properly. This will also give you peace of mind that the alarm will work when you need it most. Testing Tip: To minimize noise during testing, cover the speaker with your thumb to muffle the sound.

Safety Information

To ensure the safe and effective use of your Beacon personal alarm, please follow these guidelines:

• Not a Toy: This device is designed for emergency use only and is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children to prevent accidental activation or misuse that could cause harm.
• Hearing Protection: The alarm emits a powerful 130dB siren. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sound as it can cause hearing damage. Use it only during genuine emergencies and avoid pointing the siren directly at your ears.
• Eye Safety: The strobe light is designed to disorient attackers but can also cause harm if misused. Never look directly into the LED light when it is activated to protect your vision.
• Emergency Use Only: Activate your alarm only in situations where your safety or security is at risk. Misuse can desensitize others to the alarm and reduce its overall effectiveness.

Final Tips

• Placement: Keep your alarm in a location where it is easy to access, such as on your keychain, in your pocket, or attached to your bag. In an emergency, quick access is crucial.
• Practice Activation: Familiarize yourself with how to activate and deactivate your alarm so you can do so quickly and confidently in an emergency.
