How do I turn my Beacon on?
To check if the Beacon is already on, press the secondary button (the flat, smooth button near the charging port) for 1 second. It should either flash red or blue. If the Beacon flashes blue, it means it is already Bluetooth paired. If it flashes red, it means it is not Bluetooth paired. If it does not flash any lights, press the smooth button for 3-5 seconds. It should flash a blue or red light and make a small buzzing vibration if it is on.
For more detailed instructions, please refer to the Silent Beacon Manual and the App Guide.
How do I adjust my Beacon’s volume?
Activate alert mode on the Beacon by pressing the primary button (the button on the left side of the Beacon with a raised bump). On your phone, press the + volume button until the Beacon’s volume reaches the desired level.
Please do not put your Beacon into emergency alert mode for testing or volume purposes if your emergency contact is 911. This could cause unnecessary alerts.
How do I turn off my Beacon?
Hold down both buttons on the Beacon at the same time for about 10 seconds, or until a purple flashing light appears. When you let go, a chime will play, indicating that the Beacon is off.

Additionally, the Beacon is equipped with a built-in speaker and microphone, allowing users to communicate directly through the device in emergency situations. The Beacon must be within a 200-300 foot range of the user’s smartphone to function.
Does the Beacon need a phone nearby?
Yes, the Silent Beacon must be within about a 300-foot range of your smartphone because it relies on Bluetooth to make the call in Emergency Alert Mode.
