Personal Alarm




Personal alarms are small hand-held electronic devices with the functionality to emit a loud siren-like alarming sound. It has a button that when pressed sets the siren off, or a sprint that when pulled sets the siren off. The device can be thrown away in one direction, and the sprint in another direction such as into a bush. It is used when attacked by an assailant or when in danger to scare off the assailant and attract attention.

The sound emitted can have the effect of distracting, disorienting, and surprising the assailant.

It may be a good idea to test the alarm every couple of months to be certain that the battery is still good and solidly connected.

The volume varies from model to model, some models have 130 Decibel .
