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:

    Download the Plegium app from the App Store or Google Play. Follow the setup instructions in the app and make sure to grant the app permission to use Bluetooth and location services.

    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.

    Add emergency contacts by clicking "Add contact" in the app and selecting up to 5 contacts from your phone's contact list. 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.

You can test the siren, LED light, and emergency alerts of your Plegium Smart Pepper Spray (and the emergency alerts of you Plegium Smart Mini Pepper Spray) without triggering the actual pepper spray (which you want to save in case you'd have to use it in an emergency situation).

To test the device, slide down the test switch on the side of the product for 10 seconds, then slide it back up. Remember to inform your emergency contacts that you are testing your product, so they don't mistake the test alerts for real emergency alerts.

No, a subscription is not required to use your Plegium device. You can use the free Plegium app to add up to 5 emergency contacts who will receive free location text messages and phone calls if you ever trigger your pepper spray or alarm button.

However, we do offer an optional paid subscription called Plegium Premium, which includes additional safety features such as professional monitoring, live GPS tracking, an in-app panic button, and more. The cost for Plegium Premium is $4.99 per month, with a free trial available for one month.
