How easily can it be set off accidentally?

I have carried this a lot and never had it go off accidentally. It is easy to use and when and if we see coyotes on our walks it works well for us.

It's not very easy to set off accidentally it might appear that way but it the small button at the top that sets it off not the big one in the middle.

Actually it can't be set off at all since it stopped working altogether approximately 90 days after I bought it

Per my daughter who is the user, it went off couple times during the class. She put it in her backpack pocket and maybe book squeeze it to cause it went off.

It's hard to be set off on accident! My friend keeps it in her purse, and it has never gone off accidentally!

Keep a spare set in you range bag. If you forget to turn off the switch, the unit goes off automatically in 4 hours.

There is an on-off switch on the side. It will also turn itself off automatically after a few minutes.

I did this by accident for about 10 min & nothing happened, but all the positions are close to each other on the switch, so it is too easy to make a mistake. Design flaw! Also, the outside of the box needs to clearly say something like "keep upright." This requirement wasn't apparent until I read the manual which was in the box & by then I had already tilted the carton trying to get it out of the tight-fitting box.

Oh, yes! There's a tiny switch close to the base of the light (looks clear) which you can click on, then off. You need to use your fingernail.

No, and you definitely wouldn't want it to. That would be the most annoying thing ever. It sounds cool when you do it once manually, but you'd get annoyed if it did it all the time.

There's a low or high setting. Whatever setting you put it on is where it stays until you turn it off. Pretty simple.

i never did it..so why not just put the min. it won't hurt anything. But i'm sure it wouldn't be a problem cuz it'll shut off when need to

I don't think there would be any issues at all. The only thing is that a person would always have to be in close proximity to keep it on. Otherwise, it will turn off.

It's easy enough to do it in an emergency, but not so easy to do it by accident.

no it is very easy to set , the best way to use the safety on and off is to move it with a slow, steady movement , when you do it like this it is very quiet, not to alarm the game you are hunting for hope this helps

Not really. The button works two ways - you can "pulse" it with a quick press, or press a little deeper and it'll lock in the "on" position.

there should be on/off button on the side, which you sliding up to on mode and down to turn it off.

I don't know for sure, but vibrations and movement can set it off. All it took was is a couple of times getting sprayed and hearing the alarm to train my cats.

Yes. It can even be set to auto-interval at set distances, so you don't have to press a button.

It has a small lock switch on the side so you can't accidentally stop it. But it's not programmable

There is a simple, yet effective toggle switch for any user to easier turn the device off and on. The "trigger" is within the gripped area making it virtually impossible for the device to spontaneously discharge. (unless you're very unlucky if you believe in that sort of thing) Great and easy to use.
