- Store the device in an easily accessible location within your vehicle, but ensure it is secured to prevent it from becoming a projectile during sudden stops or collisions.
3. Product Features
3.1 Window Breaker
The device features a tungsten steel alloy head window breaker. In an emergency, press the pointed end firmly against a side window until the spring-loaded mechanism activates and shatters the glass. Aim for a corner or edge of the window for best results.

4. Setup and Installation
No complex installation is required. Upon receiving the device, ensure it is fully charged before first use. Store the safety hammer in an easily accessible location within your vehicle, such as the glove compartment, door pocket, or attached to a metallic surface using its magnet, ensuring it does not obstruct airbags or driving controls.

- Sidelight Button: Press to activate the white sidelights. Press again to cycle through white sidelight modes (High, Medium). A long press or multiple presses may activate the red and blue SOS flashing mode. Refer to the device's specific button sequence for full functionality.
- Window Breaker: Remove any protective cap. Press the tungsten steel tip firmly against a side window until it breaks.
- Seatbelt Cutter: Hook the seatbelt into the cutting slot and pull the device across the belt to cut it.

6. Charging Instructions
6.1 USB Charging
To charge the device via USB, connect a standard USB charging cable to the input port on the safety hammer and to a USB power source (e.g., car charger, wall adapter, computer USB port). The charging indicator light will show the charging status.
6.2 Solar Charging
For solar charging, place the device with its solar panel facing direct sunlight. This method is slower than USB charging and is best used for maintaining charge or as a backup when other power sources are unavailable.
7. Maintenance
- Keep the device clean and dry. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth if necessary.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Regularly check the battery level and recharge as needed to ensure readiness for emergencies.
- Inspect the window breaker tip and seatbelt cutter blade periodically for any damage or wear.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Flashlight not turning on. | Low battery. | Charge the device using USB or solar power. |
| Device not charging. | Faulty cable or power source; solar panel obstructed. | Try a different USB cable/power source. Ensure solar panel is clean and in direct sunlight. |
