Common user errors
There are many common user errors that lead to false alerts. These include:
- Shipping a beacon with the battery connected and the beacon armed.
- Removing a beacon from its bracket without properly disarming it.
- Not following proper test or inspection procedures.
- Providing curious passengers with unsupervised access to beacon locations.
- Leaving a beacon where children can get at it.
- Not reading the beacon's user manual.
Even low or expired batteries, or close contact to magnets can sometimes cause a beacon to accidentally activate.
