FAQ
Do I need a subscription to use my Plegium device?
Yes. Plegium Plus costs 29 SEK/month and Plegium Premium costs 79 SEK/month. Both subscriptions include a free 7-day trial.
The sprays’ physical functions (spray, siren and strobe light) work even without a subscription, but all digital features (i.e., emergency alerts to your emergency contacts, monitoring desk, etc.) require a subscription.
What is included in the Plegium Plus subscription?
The Plegium Plus subscription includes:
- Emergency alerts via phone calls to your emergency contacts.
- Emergency alerts via SMS to your emergency contacts. The SMS includes a link to a tracking page where your emergency contacts can see your location and follow your movement live on a map.
- The tracking page also includes a live audio stream. The audio is also recorded and saved, and can later be used in an investigation or as evidence.
- You can add up to 7 emergency contacts in the Plegium app.
- A virtual alarm button in the Plegium app that, when pressed, sends out the emergency alerts. This allows you to send alerts without activating your spray or emergency button (in some situations you may want to alert discreetly).
- A live-updated alarm log showing which of your emergency contacts have received the alert.
What additional features does Plegium Premium offer?
With Plegium Premium, you get all features included in Plegium Plus, plus a connection to a 24/7 monitoring desk - so you can get help at any time, even if your emergency contacts miss the alerts.
The monitoring desk will try to call you back to verify whether the alarm is real. If they can’t reach you or otherwise confirm you’re safe, they will follow their procedures to dispatch help (police and/or security personnel).
How does the monitoring desk connection work with Plegium Premium?
When you activate your smart defense spray or alarm button, your emergency alerts are also sent directly to a monitoring desk, which in turn contacts the police about your situation and location.
This service is included in your Plegium Premium subscription at no extra cost.
How much do Plegium Plus and Premium cost?
Plegium Plus costs 29 SEK/month or 299 SEK/year. Plegium Premium costs 79 SEK/month or 799 SEK/year. Both plans include a free one-week trial, and you can cancel at any time.
How do I subscribe to Plegium Plus or Plegium Premium?
Plegium Plus and Plegium Premium can be purchased directly in the Plegium app. You can choose a monthly or annual subscription.
Both Plus and Premium are available with a free 1‑week trial, and you can cancel at any time. The subscription renews automatically unless it’s canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
How do I cancel my Plus or Premium subscription?
You can cancel your Plegium Plus or Premium subscription at any time in the Plegium app. Go to Settings > Profile & account and tap “Manage subscription”.
You can also cancel via your phone settings.

How do I set up my Plegium Smart Emergency Button with my phone?
Setting up your Plegium Smart Emergency Button with your phone is a quick and easy process. Here's how to do it:
- Download the Plegium app from the App Store or Google Play. Create an account and follow the setup instructions in the app. Make sure to grant the app permission to use Bluetooth and location services.
- Connect your emergency button to the app by tapping "Add device" on the home screen, then entering the four-digit code found on the back of the product. You can also add your device by going to Settings > Nearby Plegium Devices and finding your device in the list.
- Add emergency contacts by clicking "Add contact" in the app and selecting up to 7 contacts from your phone's contact list.
Keep in mind that for the emergency alerts to function, the Plegium app must be open or running in the background, otherwise it will not be able to receive the signal from the button when it's activated.
Does the Plegium app work on both Android and iOS?
Yes, the Plegium app is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. You can download the app for free on the App Store or Google Play.
How long does my Plegium Smart Emergency Button last?
The battery life of the Plegium Smart Emergency Button is about two years. Storing the device in cold environments can reduce battery life.
You can see the device’s connection status in the Plegium app. If the device won’t connect to the app, the battery is most likely empty.
If you make a test alarm and the green LED on the device does not blink, the battery is most likely empty.
You can replace the battery by opening the back of the device with a small screwdriver. The device uses a CR2032 battery, which is widely available and inexpensive.
How many emergency contacts can I have?
You can add up to 7 emergency contacts.
If you have a Premium subscription, the emergency alert is also sent to a monitoring desk in addition to your emergency contacts.
Do my emergency contacts need to download the Plegium app?
No. Your emergency contacts do not need to download the app to receive alerts from you. Alerts are sent automatically as phone calls and SMS directly to their phones.
You only need to add your emergency contacts’ mobile phone numbers in the Plegium app. When you activate your spray or alarm button, your emergency contacts will receive phone calls and SMS from a Swedish phone number.
We recommend asking your emergency contacts to save Plegium’s phone number in their contacts so they know who is calling if you trigger an alert. Calls come from +46 8 446 820 20, and we suggest naming the contact “PLEGIUM - ALERT”.
What will the emergency alerts look like when I trigger my Plegium device?
When you activate your connected Plegium device (Plegium Smart Defense Spray, Plegium Smart Mini Defense Spray, or the Plegium Smart Emergency Button), your emergency contacts immediately receive a phone call with an automated voice message saying you have triggered an alarm and are in danger.
At the same time, they also receive an SMS with a link to a tracking page (opened in a browser) where they can follow your location live and listen to audio from the person in distress’s phone. The audio stream is saved and can later be used for investigation and evidence purposes.
With Premium, the emergency alerts are also sent to a monitoring desk.
How do I activate my Plegium Smart Emergency Button?
To trigger the alarm, press and hold both side buttons for 2 seconds. A green light on the button will blink to indicate the alarm has been activated.
Once activated, your emergency contacts immediately receive a phone call with an automated voice message saying you have triggered an alarm and are in danger.
At the same time, they also receive an SMS with a link to a tracking page (opened in a browser) where they can follow your location live and listen to audio from your phone. The audio stream is saved and can later be used for investigation and evidence purposes.
The alarm button must be connected to your phone via Bluetooth for the alarm to be triggered.
Does the Plegium app need to be open and my device connected for emergency alerts to work?
Yes. Your spray or alarm button must stay connected to your phone via Bluetooth, and the Plegium app must be running for emergency alerts to work. The app can run in the background and your phone can be locked. If you fully close the app or your device loses its Bluetooth connection, emergency alerts will not be sent when you activate it.
On iOS, allow the Plegium app to run in the background: Settings → Apps → Plegium → Background App Refresh → On.
On Android, go to Settings → Apps → Plegium → Battery and select Unrestricted or No restrictions.
Your device reconnects when you reopen the app and it is within Bluetooth range. You can check its connection status in the Plegium app.
A disconnected defense spray can still spray and activate its siren and LED light. Only its emergency alert features depend on the app connection.
