The User Guide helps you install the one-touch panic button Widgets on your home screen.  We recommend having them both at the top of your primary screen.

Setting Up.

Choose who can receive your Check In or Alarm Alerts:

Select the Recipients tab and click on the New recipient button.

Enter the phone number of the person(s) you wish to receive your alerts and press the Add recipient button.  

If your contact is already signed up to The Sentry they will appear in your list automatically.  If not, they will show as Pending and you can invite them by clicking the Invite A Friend button from the Account tab.

You choose which recipients are able to receive your alerts using the Activate / Deactivate toggle:

Alarm Sounds:

Try out the alarms in the Sounds Menu using the Play Icons, select your sound, TURN THE VOLUME UP, click back and turn the Alarm Sound toggle ON. 

Alarm Lights:

Try out the flashing alarm lights in the Lights Menu using the Play Icons. Warning, one option is a STROBE light. Select your lights, click back and turn the Flashing Light toggle ON.

Panic Alarm Preferences: 

Turn on the Upload Location toggle to let others know where you are when you Check In or use the Panic Alarm.

Turn on the Record Video toggle to allow capture of video and audio, only when the Panic Alarms are triggered.

The footage will save to your phone and is uploaded to The Sentry’s secure servers. An email link provides you with access to the footage.

Live Worldwide Map:

On the constantly updating map you can see the exact location of yourself and any of your team that are checked in or have triggered the panic alarm.

Use two fingers to zoom in or out, or click on a user from your list on the map to see their most recent reported location anywhere in the world.

If a user is sending their location (Check in or Panic alarm) and they lose internet connection, the Map function will queue and send their most recent reported location as soon as their phone regains a signal.

The Activity bar at the bottom of the map allows you to scroll through your contact’s alerts. The newest alerts will appear at the top of the list.  

Now The Sentry is all set up and you’re ready to Go Safely.
