1. Introduction – About the Brama Devices
Brama Devices are the first dedicated lone worker device to support Indoor Location and Risk
Messaging (automatic or manually delivered notifications directed to a user’s device). The
Brama Device is specifically designed as an personal device which is easy to use and discreet
to carry. Containing mobile-phone (4G/LTE) technology, the device enables a 24/7 link to a
dedicated, state of the art Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) (or Monitoring Center) in the event a
lone worker requires assistance.
1.1 About this Guide
At the push of a button, a trained ARC/Monitoring Center Operator is listening a potentially
abusive or violent situation on your behalf and recording for future use if necessary (as
potentially admissible evidence in court proceedings etc). The event handler will then escalate
the situation in line with what is an appropriate response - including alerting the Emergency
Services through the appropriate channels.
This user guide provides all the information you need to set up, operate and take care of your
Brama Device.

2. Brama Device Layout and Key Functions
2.1 Brama Device Layout
Figure 1: Brama S-A1 Main Functions
2.2 Key Functions
2.2.1 Device Check
This function allows you to check status of the Battery, Signal, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite
System), Wifi, and Bluetooth on your Brama Device and can be done at any time throughout your
working day.
2.2.2 Status Check
This function allows you to leave a brief voice message before you begin each visit, or each time you
move location by detailing where you are and for how long.
2.2.3 Red Alert
This function allows lone workers to discreetly raise an Alarm to a dedicated Alarm Receiving
Centre/Monitoring Center whenever they feel vulnerable or threatened. This will be an audio call (via
VoIP on LTE) activated by the device, to an ARC.
2.2.4 Incapacitation Alarm
This function can automatically initiate an alarm if your Brama Device detects you have become
incapacitated.

The Incapacitation Alarm is not active by default. An Brama Device user determines when, (and for
how long) incapacitation detection is enabled. Once the specified time elapses, incapacitation
detection is inactive once more.
2.2.5 Risk Messaging
The Risk Messaging functionality on Brama Device allows a lone worker to be notified of
useful or pertinent information based on their location.
The function can be enabled automatically by pre-defined message settings which are linked
to the breaching of a Geofence. For customers, this is driven by a pre-defined schedule in
the software management platform to reflect a worker’s calendar or delivered directly by a
lone worker’s manager –again through the software management platform.
2.2.6 GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)
This function can assist the ARC in the event of a Red Alert and is used in conjunction with your
Status Check Voice message to assist in determining your Location.

3. Initial Set Up and Care and Maintenance
3.1 Initial Set Up
3.1.1 What’s included
The box containing your Brama Device includes the following items:
•Brama S-C or S-A1 device
•Charger and cable (including adapter for your region)
3.1.2 Initial Charge of your Brama Device
Your Brama Device must be fully charged before you attempt to use it; this conditions the battery fully.
We recommend leaving the device on charge for a minimum of 2-3 hours the first time you charge it,
and that it is only charged using the supplied charger.
3.2 Care and Maintenance
Brama Devices are purposely designed so that you do not need to perform any routine maintenance.
However, you should note the following points about cleaning and general care.
3.2.1 Cleaning
Use a damp cloth (not wet) to remove any dirt from your Brama Device. Be very careful not to allow
water into the unit.
Ensure the cloth is clean from grit or dirt when cleaning the camera lens as this could scratch the device
lens.
Do not use any alcohol or chemical cleaning agents of any type.
3.2.2 Moisture Resistance
Brama Device is water resistant and can survive short lengths of submersion in shallow depths of
water, less than 1m.
3.2.3 Impact Damage
Brama Devices are made from a tough ABS plastic case. It is designed to resist a certain amount of
damage typical with general use, but the device will not withstand heavy impacts.

The touch screen is manufactured from toughened glass but should not be exposed to high force
pressure and heavy impacts.

4. How to Use your Brama Device
4.1 Functionality
4.1.1 Charging & Powering your Device
You should ensure that your Brama Device is fully charged before use.
We recommend leaving the device on charge for a minimum of 3 hours per day or at the end of each
shift using the supplied charger. Aside from the Incapacitation Alarm, the Alert functions of your Brama
Device can still be used while the device is on charge.
Brama Devices are
charged via a USB-Type C
connection.
When your Brama Device is connected to the charger, the Battery Symbol on the display will reflect
this. As the battery charges, the battery symbol shows more cells.
When you place your device onto charge, or remove it, the screen will “wake up” to indicate the
change. If you put the device on charge while it is powered off, it will display a charging screen, which
disappears once the device is removed from charge.

Powering your Brama Device on and off
Checking if Brama Device is already turned on:
First check if your Brama Device is on; this is
done by completing a single, quick button press
to the physical power button (do not push and
hold this button).
If the device is turned on, this action will serve
to wake the device and the screen will
illuminate.
If you push the same button a second time, the
display will return to its previous state and the
device will remain on.
Figure 8: Checking whether Brama Device is on or off
If you perform the above, and the device does not wake, assume the device is turned off.
