Preface 7 DRAFT 8 Getting Started with the RiskBand Device DRAFT 1 Quick Start This chapter describes important functions of the RiskBand device:
Accepting the Pilot Warning on page 10 Accepting the End-User License Agreement on page 11 Sending an Emergency on page 13 Receiving Messages on page 14 About Your Privacy and the RiskBand Device on page 16 Additional functionality of the device is described in the chapter Using the RiskBand Device on page 29. About the RiskBand Device The key operational and display components of the RiskBand device are:
Quick Start 9 DRAFT Each RiskBand device is packaged with the following accessories:
- Power adapter
- USB-C charging cable
- Holster with belt clip NOTE: The RiskBand device is intended to be used while in the supplied holster and worn attached to a belt loop or similar, with the face and display of the device facing away from the body. RiskBand Aries devices are intended to be used only with their supplied accessories to ensure proper operation and continued reliability. Getting Started To power on your device, press and hold the UP and DOWN arrows (scroll buttons) simultaneously until you feel the device vibrate and the display comes on - the device will go through a boot sequence and will show "Synchronizing..." on the display for about 1 minute. Accepting the Pilot Warning If have a received a device that is part of a Pilot or Beta evaluation, the device will display a Pilot warning when it starts up. This warning explains that the device should not be used in any dangerous situations or in an environment where you might be required to trigger and actual emergency. To use the device, you need to accept this warning. To accept the Pilot warning on the device:
The Pilot Warning tells you that the devices is an evaluation unit that should only be used in safe, controlled environments for testing purposes. Note: The Pilot Warning display state is intended to be temporary. While displaying Pilot Warning screen the device will beep and vibrate every minute to remind you to accept the warning. 10 Getting Started with the RiskBand Device DRAFT Accepting the End-User License Agreement Before using the RiskBand device you must accept the End-User License Agreement
(EULA). The EULA consists of End-User License Agreement Terms of Use RiskBand Privacy Policy The device displays a link to the location of a PDF version of the EULA. You can also review the EULA here: https://us.riskband.com/legal.pdf. Quick Start 11 DRAFT To accept the EULA on the device:
Look for your name on the first EULA screen, and then press the Menu button. On the second EULA screen, the URL of the EULA PDF file is displayed. You can go to that URL in your browser and read the EULA, or you can read the EULA in the appendices of this document. Press the Up button to highlight I Accept, and then press the Menu button. The device finalizes its configuration, and the assigned screen displays. If you see your user name displayed on this screen, the device is now ready for your use. Note: The EULA display state is intended to be temporary. While displaying EULA screens the device will beep and vibrate every minute to remind you to accept the EULA. 12 Getting Started with the RiskBand Device DRAFT Sending an Emergency When you receive your RiskBand device, it should already be registered and synchronized with the RiskBand servers. You can determine if this is the case by looking to see if your user name is displayed on the device screen. If you see your user name displayed on the screen, it has been configured successfully for your use. Caution: Do not use a RiskBand device unless you see your user name on the screen. If your user name does not appear on the screen, the RiskBand device may not be able to successfully send an emergency. To send an emergency, press and hold the Emergency button for 2 seconds. When the RiskBand servers receive your emergency, your device will vibrate. Following that, at regular intervals throughout the duration of the emergency, the device will vibrate to let you know the emergency continues to be monitored. Quick Start 13 DRAFT If the security personnel responding to your emergency can establish a voice connection to your device, you will feel a rapid vibration pattern. Be aware, however, that after a voice connection is established, the security personnel may choose to just listen with their communication devices on mute. To experience the vibration patterns that accompany the sending and receipt of emergencies, you can simulate an emergency in Demo Mode. For instructions on how to do this, see Simulating an Emergency in Demo Mode on page 17. Receiving Messages The security personnel in your organization can send messages to the RiskBand device. These messages can be Emergency Action Messages (EAMs) or informational Action Messages (AMs). When either type of message is received by the RiskBand device, the device vibrates to alert you that you have a message. The device will also beep if the message is an Emergency Action Message. Note: After Emergency Action Messages are received, the device will vibrate and beep every 15 seconds until the message is read. 14 Getting Started with the RiskBand Device DRAFT To read an Emergency Action Message or an Action Message, press the Menu button. To acknowledge a message, clear it, or read the next message on your device, press the Menu button. After all the messages are displayed, the device returns to the main screen. Note: After a message is cleared, it cannot be displayed again on the device. However, if your organization has provided you with access to the RiskBand ARIES Manager, you can view a history of action messages that have been sent to your device. Quick Start 15 DRAFT About Your Privacy and the RiskBand Device While the RiskBand device is capable of taking photos and of creating a two-way voice connection, it only does so when an emergency is triggered. And in the vast majority of cases, you will be the one who triggers the emergency by pressing the alarm button. This means that the RiskBand device cannot be used to spy or eavesdrop on you unawares. In some deployments, your organization may have the ability to trigger an emergency remotely. That is, the device can be put into the emergency state without your pushing the button. However, in these cases the device still vibrates and displays icons when the emergency in initiated. Even if your organization uses stealth mode in emergencieswhich means there is no visual display that an emergency is in process the device still vibrates so you will know the emergency state has been initiated. Check with your organization administrator to see if either remotely triggered emergencies or stealth mode emergency indicators are enabled for your device. Your organization administrator can tell you exactly how your device will act in an emergency. 16 Getting Started with the RiskBand Device DRAFT 2 Simulating an Emergency in Demo Mode The RiskBand device is programmed with a Demo Mode simulation that allows you to experience how the device handles an emergency first hand. RiskBand strongly recommends that you go through the Demo Mode simulation in order to learn how the device will vibrate and operate during an emergency. Note: Some organizations my restrict devices from entering Demo Mode. Because this is intended to be a temporary state for the device, the device will beep and vibrate every 15 minutes while in this mode to remind you to exit Demo Mode.

Simulating an Emergency in Demo Mode 23 DRAFT 24 Getting Started with the RiskBand Device DRAFT 3 Behind the Scenes with RiskBand The RiskBand device is designed to not draw attention to itself in an emergency. However, even though the device may not seem to be doing anything, there is a lot happening in the background when you initiate a RiskBand emergency. The RiskBand system is very customizable, and not every organization will utilize every feature. The actual response to an emergency will vary according to the policies and procedures of your organization, but as a general rule, heres what happens. Behind the Scenes with RiskBand 25 DRAFT A single press of the Emergency Activation Button on your RiskBand device generates an emergency. The RiskBand device begins to take photographs and uploads them to the RiskBand servers where they are available to your security personnel. Additionally, your GPS location is immediately updated. The RiskBand servers receive the alert and immediately attempt to send your device an acknowledgment. The long vibration pattern on your device tells you that the emergency has been received. The RiskBand servers send an alert to the security personnel for your organization. Information about you and your situation is available to security personnel. 26 Getting Started with the RiskBand Device DRAFT The device will initiate a call to establish two-way voice communication with a designated response team. The second long vibration pattern on your device confirms that the voice connection has been established. Even though voice communication has been established, designated responders will likely listen on mute while learning more about your current situation. All the audio from this voice connection is recorded. If your organization has enabled GPS on your device, a map showing your exact location is available to the designated responders. If your organization allows self-cancellation, there is a short period of time where you can cancel an emergency by pressing and holding the Menu button. After that only designated responders can cancel the emergency. Behind the Scenes with RiskBand 27 DRAFT 28 Getting Started with the RiskBand Device DRAFT 4 Using the RiskBand Device This chapter describes actions that can be performed with the RiskBand device:

If the device is charging, the charging LED displays on the device, and the charging icon will appear on the LCD. Figure 1: Device charging LED with cable connected Note: RiskBand recommends that you do not remove the device from the charger until the LED displays green. Removing the device from the charger before the green LED indicates it is fully charged, or removing the device from the charger when the LED is off, will result in the device being unable to accurately report remaining battery life. Charging the RiskBand Device 47 DRAFT About the LED Charging Light While the device is physically connected to the charger, the LED charging light will be displayed (see Figure 1). If the device is charging, the LED will be red, and if the device is fully charged it will be green. Charging times for the device can vary, but generally the device can be fully charged within 6 hours. In cases where the device senses it might be overheating, it may stop charging and turn the charging LED off. However, after the temperature drops to a safe level, charging will restart and the LED will display again. Note: If after 6 hours of charging, the charging LED is still red, disconnect the device from the charger and then reconnect it. If after 6 more hours, the charging LED does not turn green, contact customer support. About Device Performance While Charging The RiskBand device can be used while connected to the charger. However, the device can experience reduced cellular connectivity and/or reduced GPS performance while it is actively charging. Should a situation arise where you need to trigger an emergency with a device while it is charging, RiskBand recommends that, after triggering the emergency, you take the extra step of disconnecting the device from the charger. 48 Getting Started with the RiskBand Device DRAFT 6 More about the RiskBand Device This chapter provides additional information about your RiskBand device:
About the RiskBand Display on page 49 About RiskBand Device Buttons on page 53 About the RiskBand Device Startup Process on page 54 About Poor Cellular Connectivity and GPS Performance on page 55 About Low Power States on page 56 A Note About GNSS and GPS on page 57 About the RiskBand Display There are three general kinds of information or icons displayed on the RiskBand screen:
General Device Information Emergency Indicators Device State Icons General Device Information On the main screen, the RiskBand device displays the following information:
Time the current time. The time is set through the cellular connection. Date the current date. Your User Name this indicates that information about you has been registered with the RiskBand servers. Device Name this is the name of the device. It is the device prefix of the organization, division, or group combined with a number. More about the RiskBand Device 49 DRAFT Emergency Indicators Your RiskBand device is configured to respond to emergencies in one of the following modes:
Stealth Mode there is no visual indication on the screen that an emergency is in progress. A series of vibrations on the device will signal you that the emergency has been initiated and a response has started. Discreet Mode the following emergency indicators are displayed to signal the state of the response:
Ring the emergency has been initiated. The RiskBand servers have not yet acknowledged the emergency. Doughnut the RiskBand servers have registered the emergency, but the voice connection has not yet been established. If the red GPS indicator also appears, it means that the device has not established GPS coordinates since the emergency was initiated. 50 Getting Started with the RiskBand Device DRAFT Blue Dot the RiskBand servers have registered the emergency, and the GPS coordinates have been established. If voice connections are allowed by your organizations policy, the voice connection has also been established. More about the RiskBand Device 51 DRAFT Device State Icons In addition, there are several icons that may appear on the screen:
Cellular Connection Indicator indicates the signal strength of the devices cellular connection. GPS Signal Indicator indicates that your GPS coordinates cannot be established. Battery Charge Indicator indicates the percentage of battery life remaining. Charging Indicator indicates the device is connected to power and is charging. More about the Battery Life Indicator The battery displays an estimate of the percentage of battery life remaining. More about the GPS Signal Indicator The GPS signal indicator might be better described as the no GPS signal indicator. It only appears when your GPS coordinates cannot be established. If your organization does not use GPS, or if your device is successfully acquiring GPS coordinates, the GPS icon will not appear. The device may be unable to successfully send GPS coordinates for a number of reasons. However, as a general rule, the no GPS signal indicator lets you know either:
that the device is at least two minutes late acquiring GPS coordinates as specified by the power management policy, or;
the device has not yet acquired one set of GPS coordinates since an emergency was triggered. 52 Getting Started with the RiskBand Device DRAFT About RiskBand Device Buttons The following buttons are available on the RiskBand device:
Emergency Menu Up Down The following actions can be initiated using the buttons:
Emergency pressing the Emergency button for 2 seconds Cancel Emergency if your organizations policies allow it, pressing the Menu button for 3 seconds cancels an emergency. (The device menu is unavailable during an emergency.) Display Menu pressing the Menu button. (The device menu is unavailable during an emergency.) Device Reset pressing the Up and Down buttons simultaneously for 7 seconds. Any button when pressedexcept for the Emergency buttonturns on the backlight on the LCD for 7 seconds. More about the RiskBand Device 53 DRAFT About the RiskBand Device Startup Process When a RiskBand device starts up, one of the first things it does is try to figure out who it has been assigned to and what it should do in an emergency. The device gets this information by connecting to the RiskBand ARIES Manager on the Internet. Consequently, the device needs a data connection on the cellular network. If you turn on or restart a device in a location where the device cant get a connection to the cellular network, the device will display the No cell data connection screen. If you see this screen, move the device to a location where there is a strong cellular network signal. After connecting to the cellular network, it is possible the data portion of that connection may be poor. If that is the case, the device will display the Poor cell data connection screen. If you see this screen, move the device to a location where there is a stronger cellular connection and a better data connection. If, after moving to different locations where there is better cellular connectivity, the device never moves off these two screens, contact customer support. Caution: Do not use a RiskBand device unless you see your user name on the screen. If your user name does not appear on the screen, the RiskBand device may not be able to successfully send an emergency. 54 Getting Started with the RiskBand Device DRAFT About Poor Cellular Connectivity and GPS Performance As you move around with your RiskBand device you may encounter and pass through areas of poor cellular connectivity or be in areas where GPS performance is limited. This is a normal situation, and it is expected in the normal operation of the device. After the initial device startup process, and the device reaches a state where it correctly displays your user name on the assigned screen, it continues to function even with occasional periods of no cellular connectivity or poor GPS performance. Even in situations where the device has no network data connectivity, or even no cellular network connectivity, the device continues to provide useful services. For example, No data connectivity even though the RiskBand ARIES Manager cannot be immediately notified of a triggered emergency, the device can still call out to emergency responders. No cellular connectivity even though the device cannot call out or connect to the RiskBand ARIES Manager during a triggered emergency, it still takes photos and collects GPS coordinates, which will be uploaded as soon as connectivity is restored. In both of the situations above, the RiskBand ARIES Manager can determine that the device is not communicating as it should, and it sends notifications to designated administrators or monitors telling them that you might be in trouble. See Figure 2: Example of a Late Calling Home Notification on page 55. The following things can be done to prevent reduced cellular connectivity and poor GPS performance:
Keep the device battery charge above 10%. Do not use the device while it is connected to the charger Do not use devices in close proximity to each other. GPS performance is the area most likely to be affected by proximity to other devices. Devices will work best if separated by 1-3 feet. Figure 2: Example of a Late Calling Home Notification More about the RiskBand Device 55 DRAFT About Low Power States The battery charge indicator on the device provides an approximation of the amount of battery power remaining. When the battery has approximately 20% of its battery life remaining, the battery charge indicator will turn yellow and starts to blink. When the battery has approximately 10% of its battery life remaining it enters a critical battery state. In this state the battery charge indicator turns red and blinks. Additionally the critical battery warning displays on the device. In the critical battery state the device will stop taking GPS coordinates and will stop calling home to the RiskBand ARIES Manager in order to save power for triggering an emergency. If an emergency is triggered while the device is in the critical battery state, the device will resume full operation at full power and continue to do so until the emergency is closed or until it runs out of power. 56 Getting Started with the RiskBand Device DRAFT A Note About GNSS and GPS The RiskBand device uses the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to obtain location information. GNSS is comprised of a number regional satellite-based navigation systems including GPS, which is the satellite system created by the United States. Depending on the power management policy in use, RiskBand devices can obtain location information from any of the satellites in any of the following systems:
GPS (USA) Galileo (Europe) GLONASS (Russia) BeiDou (China) SBAS (Europe) QZSS (Japan) While the term GPS is frequently used in RiskBand documentation as a general term to describe location and positioning features of the device, be aware that the location acquisition capabilities of the device are truly global.
