FAQ

Q: How loud is 130dB?
A: 130dB is equivalent to a military jet aircraft taking off from 50 feet away. It's extremely loud - loud enough to startle attackers, draw attention from hundreds of feet away, and cause temporary disorientation. For reference, normal conversation is 60dB, and sounds above 85dB can cause hearing damage with prolonged exposure.

Q: Is the Banshee legal to carry everywhere?
A: Yes! Unlike pepper spray or weapons, personal safety alarms have no legal restrictions. You can carry the Banshee in all 50 states, on airplanes (check TSA guidelines), in schools, and anywhere else. It's a completely legal self-defense tool.

Q: How long do the batteries last?
A: The replaceable batteries last up to 1 year under normal use. We recommend testing your Banshee monthly and replacing batteries annually to ensure it's always ready when you need it.

Q: Is the Banshee waterproof?
A: The Banshee is water-resistant, meaning it can handle rain, snow, humidity, and accidental splashes. It's not fully waterproof (don't submerge it), but it will work reliably in wet weather conditions.

Q: Can I use the Banshee to scare off aggressive dogs or wildlife?
A: Yes! The 130dB alarm is effective at startling and deterring aggressive animals including dogs, bears, and other wildlife. The sudden loud noise causes animals to flee. Many hikers and outdoor enthusiasts carry personal alarms for this purpose.

Q: How do I activate the Banshee?
A: Activation method depends on your specific model - either pull a pin or press a button. Check your user manual for exact instructions. Practice activating it a few times so you're familiar with the process in an emergency.

Q: Can seniors use the Banshee for medical emergencies?
A: Absolutely! The Banshee is perfect for seniors who may fall, have a medical emergency, or need to alert others for help. The loud alarm can summon neighbors or caregivers even if the person can't call out verbally.

Q: How far away can the alarm be heard?
A: At 130dB, the Banshee can be heard from hundreds of feet away, even through walls and in noisy environments. The exact distance depends on surroundings, but it's designed to alert everyone in the immediate area.

Q: Can I carry the Banshee on an airplane?
A: Personal safety alarms are generally allowed in carry-on and checked luggage, but always check current TSA guidelines before flying. Unlike pepper spray or weapons, alarms typically have no travel restrictions.

Q: Should I use the Banshee with other self-defense tools?
A: Yes! The Banshee works great as part of a layered defense strategy. Many people carry it alongside pepper spray or a Byrna launcher. The alarm draws attention while other tools provide physical defense.

Q: What if the attacker doesn't run away from the alarm?
A: While most attackers flee from loud alarms (they avoid attention), the primary purpose is to draw witnesses and help to your location. Even if the attacker doesn't flee immediately, the alarm ensures others know you need help and can intervene or call police.

Q: How do I know when the batteries are low?
A: Most models will produce a weaker sound when batteries are low. Test your Banshee monthly by activating it briefly. If the sound seems quieter than usual, replace the batteries immediately.
