Your best protection is to avoid potentially dangerous situations if you can. Always be aware of your environment and the people around you. Be especially alert after dark. Do everything you can to escape from an assailant before resorting to the use of your defense spray.

You should test the functioning of your unit periodically by discharging one or two short bursts outdoors in a safe area away from all persons and animals in the vicinity. Take care that you do not exhaust the contents of the unit you intend to rely upon.

FIRST AID
CAUTION: Failure to follow these instructions may result in first or second degree burns, severe skin irritation, depigmentation or other skin injury. Remove contact lenses and contaminated clothing immediately. Contaminated clothing should be cleaned prior to re-use to prevent skin injury.
Flush contaminated area with large quantities of cool water or a diluted baking soda solution and expose the area to fresh air as soon as possible. Do not apply salves, creams, oils or lotions as they can trap the irritant agent against the skin and result in blisters or burns. Consult a physician if irritation persists.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
Possession and/or use of defense sprays may be regulated or prohibited by law in some jurisdictions. If there is any question, check with your local police department. Under current FAA regulations, this unit is permitted in checked baggage only. Do not carry this unit on your person or stow in your carry-on baggage. For additional information, please visit www.tsa.gov. This unit is designed for defensive purposes only and may not be possessed or used by a person under the age of 18.

SAFETY AND STORAGE
In light of the potential for serious skin irritation and, in extreme cases, of first and second degree burns, it is important to keep your unit out of the reach of children and irresponsible adults. Do not store it in an environment where the temperature may exceed 120°F as the unit may leak from over pressurization and fail to function properly.

Each unit is marked with an expiration date, after which it should be discarded. Dispose of in accordance with state, local and federal regulations. Do not puncture the unit since it is under pressure and will discharge if punctured. Do not incinerate or place the unit in an environment where the temperature may exceed 120°F.
