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.

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.

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.

With the free Plegium app, you can add up to 5 emergency contacts of your choice.

If you need to add more contacts, you can upgrade to Plegium Premium which will allow you to add up to 7 contacts and also gives you access to additional safety features such as professional monitoring and live GPS tracking.

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. Phone calls will come from (312) 626-5076, and text messages from (478) 288-8999.

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.

Emergency alerts will come from (312) 626-5076 for phone calls and (478) 288-8999 for text messages.

To ensure easy identification, we recommend asking your emergency contacts to add these numbers to their phone book.

To effectively deploy your Plegium pepper spray, follow these steps:

    Use your thumb to slide up the flip top safety lid to reveal the trigger.

    Press hard in the center of the trigger. This will activate all features simultaneously. Remember that your spray must be connected to your phone for the emergency alerts to be sent out.

    Direct the spray towards the attacker's eyes, then towards their nose and mouth.

Note (for Plegium Smart Pepper Spray): Even after releasing the trigger, the siren and the light will continue to sound and flash until you turn it off by using a sharp object to slide up the test switch located on the side of the product. This is a safety feature to prevent an attacker from turning it off.

To trigger your Plegium Smart Emergency Button, simply press and hold both buttons on the side for 2 seconds. This will activate the alarm and send emergency alerts to your pre-set emergency contacts via phone call and text message, including your current location.

The device must be connected to your phone via Bluetooth for the alarm to be activated.

All Plegium pepper sprays have a duration of around 10 seconds of continuous spraying or up to 20-30 quick bursts per canister.

However, note that disconnecting a spray from your phone will not affect the other features of the spray such as the pepper spray, LED light, and siren. The spray will automatically reconnect once you open the app and it is within Bluetooth range of your phone. You can check the connection status in the app at any time.

Laws regarding pepper spray vary by country, so we do not recommend bringing it with you on your travels.

Additionally, our sprays are considered aerosols and are not allowed in the cabin of an airplane. It's important to check the regulations of your destination before traveling with pepper spray or any other self defense product.

The Plegium pepper spray features a "stream" spray pattern, which has a good balance between range (reaching up to 15 feet) and accuracy (compared to a cone spray pattern), with low risk of blow-back compared to a gel spray pattern.
