140dBs* alarm is activated. The Defender IIIT uses a traditional ripcord activation and has an
independent torch function.

Operation
1. To operate the alarm, simply pull the ripcord pin out of the socket. To stop the alarm
sounding, replace the ripcord pin into the socket on the top of the alarm.
2. To use as a torch, simply press in the button on the side of the unit.
Keyring attachment
Attach the key ring provided to the bottom of the alarm, and then attach this to your bag strap.
Hold the ripcord or attach it to yourself with the G-Clip. If the bag is snatched, the ripcord pin is
removed which will activate the alarm and strobe lights will flash to shock and deter the attacker.
The alarm will remain attached to the bag which is likely to cause the thief to drop the item to get
away from the alarm.
Mounted alarm
The alarm can be attached to a fixed point such as a wall to act as a panic alarm. The easy-use
bracket can be screwed to a wall and the alarm easily slides into the bracket and can be removed
again by opening the crocodile clip on the reverse of the handle. The ripcord will be at the top of
the alarm and hang down the side of the alarm. To activate, pull the cord upwards.

screwdriver to access the battery compartment.
