Testing the Bluetooth Alarm Button without triggering an alarm
Easily and safely check if your alarm button is working correctly
At X-Guard, we work every day towards our mission: Everyone, Everywhere, Secured. A properly functioning Bluetooth alarm button is essential. To ensure you can rely on it in an emergency, it’s important to test it regularly.
Fortunately, this can be done quickly and safely without triggering a real alarm.
Quick check: Is your alarm button connected?
How it works:
- Open the X-Guard Alarm app
- Press the Bluetooth alarm button once briefly
What happens?
If connected, the X-Guard logo briefly enlarges and moves.
