How do I set up my Plegium pepper spray with my phone?

Setting up your Plegium Smart Pepper Spray or your Plegium Smart Mini Pepper Spray with your phone is a quick and easy process. Here's how to do it:

1. Download the Plegium app from the App Store or Google Play. Create an account and follow the setup instructions in the app. Make sure to grant the app permission to use Bluetooth and location services.

   

2. Connect your spray to the app by tapping "Add device" on the home screen, then entering the four-digit code found under the flip top safety lid. You can also add your device by going to Settings > Nearby Plegium Devices and finding your device in the list.

3. Add emergency contacts by clicking "Add contact" in the app and select cell phone numbers from your phone's contact list. With the free version you can add up to 2 emergency contacts, with Plus or Premium subscription up to 7.

Your spray is now connected to your phone and ready to use.

To test all functions except the spray, use a sharp object to slide down the test switch on the side of the product for 10 seconds, then slide it back up. This will activate all features and send out alarms to your emergency contacts (so remember to let them know you are testing it).

Keep in mind that the Plegium app must be open for the location text messages and phone calls to function, it's enough that the app is in the background and the phone can be locked, but if you actively close ("kill") the app it will not be able to receive the signal from your spray that it has been fired.

Is the Plegium app compatible with both Android and iOS devices?

Yes, the Plegium app is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. You can download the app for free on the App Store or Google Play.

How many test alarms can I conduct per month?
The number of test alarms you can conduct depends on your subscription type. Free version users can perform up to 10 free test alarms per month. Plus, Premium, and Pro subscribers enjoy increased limits, with 20 test alarms for Plus and Premium users, and 50 for Pro users.
How many emergency contacts can I manage in the app?
With the free Plegium app, you can include up to 2 emergency contacts of your choice. If you wish to expand your contacts list, upgrading to Plegium Premium or Plegium Plus provides the flexibility to add up to 7 contacts. Additionally, these premium subscriptions offer enhanced safety features like professional monitoring and live GPS tracking for added peace of mind.
Are my emergency contacts required to download the Plegium app?

No, your emergency contacts do not need to download the app to receive emergency alerts.

You simply need to add their cell phone numbers as emergency contacts within the app. When you trigger your device, your emergency contacts will receive phone calls and text messages from an American phone number.

We recommend that you ask your emergency contacts to add the Plegium phone numbers to their contact list for easy identification. 

What will the emergency alerts look like when I trigger my Plegium device?

When you trigger your Plegium device, your emergency contacts will receive a phone call with a message stating your name and that you have fired your pepper spray.

They will also receive a text message with a Google maps link showing your location at the time the pepper spray was deployed. This allows your emergency contacts to quickly and easily locate you in case of an emergency.

 

Is the Plegium app required to be open in order for emergency alerts to function?

Yes and no – the Plegium app must be open for the location text messages and phone calls to function, but it can run in the background and the phone can be locked. However, if the app is actively closed or "killed," it will not be able to receive the signal from the spray that it has been fired.

The spray will automatically reconnect once the app is opened and it is within Bluetooth range of the phone. You can check the connection status in the app at any time.

Plegium Pepper Spray

Come utilizzo il mio spray?

I modelli Smart, Smart Mini, Combo e Premium sono tutti dotati di una copertura di sicurezza a molla per evitare di premere accidentalmente il grilletto quando si trasporta lo spray repellente per animali nella borsa. Come utilizzare questi modelli:

1. Far scorrere il pollice sotto la copertura di sicurezza

2. Premere con decisione il pulsante di scatto al centro: ora tutte le funzioni sono attivate contemporaneamente

3. Spruzzare l'aggressore da un orecchio all'altro sugli occhi, quindi colpire il naso e la bocca

Posso testare gli spray repellenti per animali?

Tutti i nostri prodotti hanno un contenuto sufficiente per circa 10-15 secondi di spruzzatura continua prima che siano vuoti. È più che sufficiente per prendere di mira più aggressori.


Tuttavia, non consigliamo di testare lo spray premendo il grilletto poiché in caso di emergenza è importante avere a disposizione la massima quantità di spray.

Per testare tutte le altre funzioni (messaggi di localizzazione, telefonate, sirena e led), è possibile utilizzare un oggetto appuntito e premere per 10 secondi la leva TEST posta sul lato del prodotto. Quindi è sufficiente spingere nuovamente la leva verso l'alto.

I prodotti hanno una data di scadenza?

Tutti i prodotti hanno una durata di 4 anni. I modelli Smart, Smart Mini e Combo - dotati anche di batterie ricaricabili - hanno un'autonomia di 4 anni senza bisogno di essere ricaricati.

Posso viaggiare all'estero con il mio spray al peperoncino?

Esistono importanti differenze legali da paese a paese per quanto riguarda l'uso dello spray al peperoncino. Per questo motivo vi sconsigliamo di portare con voi spray al peperoncino durante il vostro viaggio all'estero.

Poiché i nostri spray repellenti per animali sono aerosol, non devono essere portati in nessun caso nella cabina dell'aereo.
