To use your Plegium pepper spray with maximum effectiveness, follow these steps:

1. Slide up the flip-top safety lid with your thumb to reveal the trigger.

2. Firmly press the trigger's center to activate all features simultaneously. If you have a smart spray, ensure your spray is connected to your phone and that the app is opened for emergency alerts to be sent out.

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

Note (for Plegium Smart Pepper Spray and Plegium Combo Pepper Spray): Even after releasing the trigger, the siren and flashing light will persist until turned off. To turn it off, slide up the test switch on the side of the product using a sharp object. This safety feature ensures continued protection and prevents attackers from easily disabling the device.

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.

You can read more about our pepper spray and it's spray pattern in our pepper spray guide.

To trigger your Plegium Smart Emergency Button or Smart Emergency Button Wearable, 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, and the app need to be opened, for the alarm to be activated.

No, a subscription is not mandatory to use your Plegium device. With the free Plegium app, you can add up to 2 emergency contacts who will receive complimentary location text messages and phone calls when you trigger your pepper spray or alarm button.

However, we offer optional paid subscriptions to enhance your safety experience:

• Plegium Premium: This plan, priced at $6.99 per month or $69.99 per year, provides comprehensive safety features, including professional monitoring, live GPS tracking, an in-app panic button, and more.
• Plegium Plus: Available at $3.99 per month or $39.99 per year, Plegium Plus offers the same features as Premium, excluding professional monitoring.

For both paid plans, you can add up to 7 emergency contacts, ensuring a wider network of support.

Plegium Premium includes a 24/7 professional monitoring service that is activated when you trigger your device. The monitoring service is provided by one of the most advanced and trusted call centers available and currently protects more than 2 million people. When you activate your device, the Plegium app immediately connects to the monitoring service, which then notifies first responders about your situation and location.

This service is included in your Plegium Premium subscription and there is no additional cost for this feature. First responders will then take immediate action to ensure your safety.
