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.

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.

Setting up your Plegium Smart Emergency Button and Smart Emergency Button Wearable with your phone is a quick and easy process. Here's how to do it:

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.

  

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.

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.

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.

Yes, for the emergency alerts to activate, your Plegium device must maintain a Bluetooth connection with your phone within a range of 2-3 meters, and the Plegium app must be open. If you close the app completely, the device will disconnect and the app will not be able to recognize when you trigger it, meaning emergency alerts will not be sent out.

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.
