Care & Maintenance
Protect your Silent Beacon and accessories as you would any other type of sensitive electronic device. If your Beacon requires cleaning, consider the following:
The Beacon can be cleaned with a dry cloth if necessary. The cords can be dusted as needed. Avoid allowing moisture or liquids to enter any buttons, parts, or open areas, including the Micro-USB port and speaker/microphone holes.
Main Alert Button
The larger button with a raised center serves as the main alert button. This button will initiate an emergency phone call and send your custom alert messages to your other emergency contacts via text message, push notification, and email.
Emergency Alert Mode
Pressing the Main Alert Button for approximately 2 seconds (the LED will turn red and the Beacon will vibrate) will initiate the Emergency Alert by placing a phone call and sending your GPS location to your Emergency Contacts.
Important: Inside the main menu of the app, you will find an option to activate/deactivate the emergency alert. This must be pressed to turn off the Emergency Alert Mode. For safety reasons, you cannot disable an Alert using the Beacon itself.
Important: To place an Emergency Alert directly from the app, hold the Activate Emergency Alert button in the main menu for 3 seconds (you will see a countdown timer) to manually initiate an Emergency Alert.
Power On
Hold down the secondary button for 2 seconds.
Beacon Status
Tap the button once.
This action will display either a blue, red, or no light. Blue indicates you are connected to the App; red indicates you are not connected; no light means the unit is off.
Secondary Button
The smaller button located on the lower right of the Beacon enables additional functionality to help in various situations. The 4 functions are outlined below.
Silent Mode
While in Emergency Alert Mode, you can press the secondary button for 1 second to activate Silent Mode. This will disable the sounds and lights, allowing you to discreetly call for help without anyone knowing.
To deactivate Silent Mode, hold the secondary button down again for 1 second, and the LED and speaker will turn back on. This process can be repeated as needed.
Check-in
(previously called nudge)
Tap the button 3 times quickly within 2 seconds.
This feature sends a customized message along with your GPS location to inform your Emergency Contacts that you are OK.
Footsteps
Press and hold the button for 3 seconds.
This feature allows you to see loved ones in real-time when they enter situations where they wish to be monitored.
Enabling “Footsteps” allows you to be tracked by the contacts you have pre-selected within the App. For the Business App, your company may not have enabled “personal contacts.” Turning off Footsteps stops the tracking, making your location private again.
Pressing Both Buttons
When you simultaneously press both buttons on the device, you unlock the ability to power the device on and off. This action not only helps in managing power usage effectively but also serves as a method to restart the Beacon, refreshing its system and ensuring optimal performance.
Power Off
To power off the device, hold down both buttons simultaneously for a full 5 seconds. It is important to ensure that you are pressing both buttons steadily during this time.
Once you see the Beacon blink purple, this is an indication that the device is powering down and you can safely release your fingers from the buttons.
Reset
To perform a reset, you need to hold down both buttons for an extended period of 15 seconds. This feature can be particularly useful in situations where the device may become unresponsive or requires a reset for troubleshooting purposes. You will know reset has been completed when the LEDs cycle through the colors and then fully turn off.
Important: If you experience any issues with your beacon and believe it may require a reset to function properly again, please follow these steps carefully to ensure a successful reset.
Warning! The Silent Beacon and App will lose its connection if Beacon resets. All information on the Beacon will be erased making you have to go through the pairing process again inside the Silent Beacon App.
Alert Mode Video
We encourage you to take a few moments to watch this helpful and informative video that thoroughly explains the process of activating and deactivating the alert modes effectively. Following the instructions outlined in the video will ensure that you are well-equipped to manage your alert settings with ease and confidence.

Additional Warnings & Safety Information
Permanent hearing loss may result from long-term exposure to sound at high volumes. Use as low a volume as possible. Speakers are capable of delivering loud and high-pitched sounds at high volumes. Under certain circumstances, exposure to such sounds can result in permanent hearing loss damage. The volume level may vary, based on conditions such as the smartphone, tablet or you are using and volume settings. Avoid prolonged use of the speaker at excessive sound levels.Reduce the risk of hearing damage by following these safety guidelines during use of the Silent Beacon Device:Turn the volume control to its lowest level when connecting the speaker, and then slowly adjust the volume control to a comfortable level. Keep the volume at the lowest level possible. If increased volume is necessary, adjust the volume control slowly. If you experience discomfort or ringing in your ears, immediately discontinue using the speaker.
With continued use at a high volume, your ears may become accustomed to the sound level, which may result in permanent damage to your hearing without any noticeable discomfort.

Glossary
Bluetooth
An open wireless protocol for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile Devices, such as mobile phones and headsets. It is primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range (power-class-dependent: 1 meter, 10 meters, and 100 meters) based on low-cost transceiver microchips in each Device. Bluetooth wireless technology makes it possible for these Devices to communicate with each other when they are in range. Because the Devices use a radio (broadcast) communications system, they do not have to be in line of sight of each other.
Emergency Contacts
The custom contact information stored inside the Silent Beacon Application. There are various settings that allow you different methods of alerting each contact.
Firmware
The software that is embedded in the Silent Beacon. This can be updated via the Applications Firmware Update which delivers this over the air to the Silent Beacon.
LED
Short for Light-Emitting Diode. These are the lights that flash on the Silent Beacon.
Pairing / Unpaired
Creates a unique and encrypted link between two Bluetooth Devices and enables them to communicate with each other. Bluetooth Devices will not communicate if they have not been paired. “Unpaired” stops the communication between the Device and Bluetooth Host.
