Adding Contacts

Within the Silent Beacon Application, you may add the contacts you wish to alert, including 911 or emergency personnel by going to the “Contacts” page. On the top right of this page, you will see an “Add Contact” icon. Pressing this allows you to manually enter (as in adding 911 or specific people not stored in your contacts) or automatically import from your smartphone’s address book.

After you have added a contact, you will be able to choose how you want your contact to be reached. There will be a toggle that allows you to turn on and off specific alert modes. These modes can be adjusted per contact. Toggle Call on/off to place a call when the Silent Beacon is activated. Only one contact can be called in Alert Mode.

Sending Alerts

Standard Alert Mode
Hold both buttons for 2 seconds. This will cause your Silent Beacon to send the Alerts through the App. It will also place a phone call if that “Alert” setting has been toggled on. If the Silent Beacon App is not open, it may still place the phone call within Bluetooth™ range from your Silent Beacon. You can end the Alert by entering your 4-digit pin within the App. Red LEDs will blink, and your Silent Beacon will vibrate until the alert has ended.

Silent Alert Mode
Hold one button and tap the other button twice. This will cause your Silent Beacon to send the Alerts through the App without the speaker turned on. If the Silent Beacon App is not open, it may still place the phone call within Bluetooth™ range from your Silent Beacon. You can end the Alert by entering your 4-digit pin within the App. No LEDs indicators will illuminate with a brief vibration to let you know it has started the Alert.

Directly from the App
Tap the Device Icon on the Main Menu of the Silent Beacon App to place an alert manually.

Placing a Phone Call

Make sure you have the selected the Call toggle for a primary contact within the Emergency Contacts settings of the App. Once you have gone into an Alert Mode you will be able to send and receive phone calls through the Silent Beacon.

When you place an alert in Silent Alert Mode, no lights or audio will be heard through the speaker; however, all alerts will still be sent to your Emergency Contacts, and once your Primary Contact picks up, her or she will be able to hear you. To hang up, simply go to your smartphone and manually “End Call.” This setting will not work for tablets or other products that do not connect to a phone line.

Check Pairing Status

You may check the status of your Silent Beacon’s pairing at any time by viewing the large device button in the App’s main menu. It will be gray if your device is not paired, blue if paired, and red if currently in Emergency Mode. You may also press one button on the Silent Beacon for approximately 2 seconds.

Nudge Feature

This feature is for sending text messages or emails to loved-ones with a screen shot of your location, letting them know you are OK.

Footsteps Feature

“Footsteps” is a non-emergency feature that allows you to see loved-ones in real time when they are entering situations in which they wish to be monitored. Turning “Footsteps” on allows the user to be tracked while unselecting this feature discontinues the tracking. This will flash the Device’s LEDs so people around you will know you are being monitored.

Find Feature

Within the main menu of the App, there is a feature called “Find” that will illuminate when the Silent Beacon is connected. If you lose your Silent Beacon you may select the “Find” icon when within Bluetooth™ range to help you find it. Indication within the “Find” icon lets you know if you are getting closer or further away from the Silent Beacon. The Silent Beacon will also blink blue and vibrate to help you locate it.

Battery Status

You can check the status of your battery of your Silent Beacon within the Main Menu of the App. If your battery gets to 5%, it will vibrate, and orange LEDs will flash to let you know it needs to be recharged. When connected to a power source, the LEDs will glow orange. Once the battery is fully charged the light will change green until you unplug the Silent Beacon.

Resetting Your Device

To reset the Silent Beacon, hold both buttons down for 20 seconds. The LEDs will turn blue to let you know the reset has been completed. If you see the lights begin to blink blue, let go of the buttons; this is warning you that your Silent Beacon will enter Factory Reset Mode.

If you wish to Factory Reset your Silent Beacon (which will delete all phone numbers and additional firmware), hold both buttons for 30 seconds. You will know the reset is complete when the LED lights have cycled through all 3 colors.

Firmware Updates

Firmware is software that runs inside many types of electronic devices, including your Silent Beacon. The Silent Beacon allows over-the-air firmware updates. Firmware updates may be released to improve important security encryption, performance and better functionality. Visit www.silentbeacon.com/firmware directly to learn more about available updates, or consult the Firmware Update portion of the App for more information.

Wearing Your Device

The Silent Beacon is intended for use either on the multipurpose clip, keychain or as a pendant. We have included a multipurpose clip, and the Silent Beacon was created to seamlessly integrate with a keyring.

IMPORTANT! Regardless of how you choose to wear the device, make sure the speaker/microphone side of the Silent Beacon is positioned as close to your mouth as possible. This will maximize the noise-cancelling effect of the microphone, allowing your voice to come through loud and clear (and allow you to hear your primary contact).

Device Bluetooth™ Connectivity

The average distance when sending an Alert from the Silent Beacon is approximately 100 feet. Sending a Voice Call is approximately 50 ft. (depending on Bluetooth™ manufacturer). In reality, you will probably find the range to be somewhat shorter due to physical obstructions and electromagnetic interference.

The sound from the Silent Beacon will slowly deteriorate as you move it further away from your compatible smartphone, tablet or Bluetooth™ device. To restore sound quality, move back into range. All sound and functionality will stop if you move completely out of range. After moving out of range, your Silent Beacon will try to reconnect to the lost smartphone, tablet or Bluetooth™ compatible device periodically. The App will alert you, indicating that it can no longer find the Silent Beacon. It is strongly advised that you test your Device’s range, connectivity and audio levels before you need the Silent Beacon in an emergency situation. When you are within range, you can use the “Find” feature within the main menu to help locate your Silent Beacon if lost.

IMPORTANT! For best performance of your Silent Beacon, wear or keep the Silent Beacon close (and in sight) to your compatible smartphone, tablet or Bluetooth™ device. The smaller the amount of objects between the Silent Beacon and the App, the better the quality should be.

Troubleshooting

For troubleshooting, please follow the instructions within the appropriate sections of this manual. If your Device is still not working properly, please contact Silent Beacon online at www.silentbeacon.com/contact, or call +1 844-641-4357.

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. Use of a speaker will impair your ability to hear other sounds. Use caution while using your speaker when you are engaging in any activity that requires your full attention.

IMPORTANT! Always drive safely, avoid distractions and follow local laws! Use of the speaker while operating a motor vehicle may be regulated by local laws. Check with your local authorities. Use caution while using your speaker when you are engaging in any activity that requires your full attention.

This package contains small parts that may be hazardous to children and should be kept out of reach of children at all times. The Silent Beacon is not a toy – never allow children to play with the Device. The part bags themselves or the many small parts they contain may cause choking if ingested.

IMPORTANT! If you have a pacemaker or other electrical medical devices, consult your physician before using the Silent Beacon.

Never try to dismantle the Silent Beacon yourself or push objects of any kind into the Device, as this may cause short circuits, which could result in a fire or electric shock. None of the components can be replaced or repaired by users. Avoid exposing the Device to rain, moisture or other liquids to protect against damage to the Silent Beacon or injury to you. If the Silent Beacon overheats, has been dropped or damaged, has a damaged cord or plug, or has been dropped in a liquid, discontinue use immediately. Do not use in areas where there are explosive hazards. Observe all signs and instructions that require an electrical devices or RF radio devices to be switched off in designated areas such as hospitals or aircrafts.

The Silent Beacon is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three hours of complete charge and discharge cycles. Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the Silent Beacon when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten battery life. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time. Leaving the Silent Beacon in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in the summer or in winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 0°C and 45°C (32°F and 113°F). A Silent Beacon with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.

IMPORTANT! The battery used in the Silent Beacon may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. The battery in your Device cannot be removed or replaced by the user. Any attempt to do so is risky and may result in damage of the Silent Beacon. Only recharge your battery with the Micro-USB cord included with the Silent Beacon package.

Device Disposal

Please dispose of the Silent Beacon according to local regulations and recycle when possible. Do not dispose with household waste. Do not dispose of the Device in a fire, as the battery may explode. Batteries may also explode if damaged.

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.

Bluetooth™ Host
The compatible smartphone, tablet or Bluetooth™ device that is hosting the Silent Beacon Application and which can successfully pair to the Silent Beacon.

Contacts
The custom contact information stored inside the Silent Beacon Application. There are various settings that allow you different methods of alerting each contact.

Dual touch Alert
The Silent Beacon must have both buttons pressed to send an alert; this cuts down on false alerts.

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.

Primary Contact
The Contact you have saved inside the Silent Beacon Application as the person to call when the alert is sent to your contacts.

Silent Beacon Application
The Silent Beacon App that connects to your Silent Beacon Device. Only Smartphones, tablets and Personal Computers with Bluetooth™ 4.0 technology can support this application. The software is unable to work with 3.0 or earlier Bluetooth™.
