Get started with your HaloUpdated 2 hours ago



Halo is a personal safety device designed for moments when speed, visibility, and connection matter. Pulling Halo apart activates a loud siren, flashing strobe lights, and live location sharing with your Safety Circle.

Halo also supports silent alerts, works as a bright flashlight, and can help you locate your belongings through Apple Find My or Google’s Find Hub.

Before you begin

  • Fully charge your Halo.

  • Install or update the Pebblebee app.

  • Turn on Bluetooth and internet access on your phone.

  • Keep Halo close to your phone during setup.

  • Locate the device button on the right side of Halo.

Safety notice: Halo’s siren is extremely loud, and its flashlight is very bright. Avoid shining the light directly into anyone’s eyes. Do not pull Halo apart unless you are prepared for the siren and strobe lights to activate.

Set up your Halo in the correct order

Unlike Pebblebee item trackers, Halo must be added to the Pebblebee app before connecting it to Apple Find My or Google’s Find Hub.

Complete setup in this order:

  1. Add Halo to the Pebblebee app.

  2. Activate Alert Live and set up your Safety Circle.

  3. Optionally connect Halo to Apple Find My or Google’s Find Hub.

1. Add Halo to the Pebblebee app

The Pebblebee app manages Halo’s safety features, Alert Live subscription, Safety Circle, battery information, settings, and recovery QR code.

Follow the instructions in Add your Halo to the Pebblebee app.

2. Set up Halo’s safety features

Activate Alert Live

Halo includes 12 months of Alert Live. Alert Live allows Halo to share your live location with members of your Safety Circle when an alert is activated.

Your included subscription begins when you activate it and renews automatically unless canceled before the renewal date.

Activate your Alert Live subscription

Add your Safety Circle

Your Safety Circle contains the trusted contacts who can receive your Halo alerts and follow your shared location.

Set up and manage your Safety Circle

3. Connect Halo to a tracking network — optional

After adding Halo to the Pebblebee app, you can connect it to one compatible tracking network for item finding.

Choose the guide that matches your phone:

Important: Halo can use Apple Find My or Google’s Find Hub, but it cannot be connected to both tracking networks at the same time. Connecting to a tracking network is optional and does not replace Halo’s Pebblebee safety features.

What you can do with Halo

Activate an audible safety alert

Pull Halo apart to activate its loud siren, flashing strobe lights, and Alert Live location sharing.

Send a silent alert

Halo can notify your Safety Circle without activating its siren or strobe lights when you need a more discreet option.

Share your location

With an active Alert Live subscription, members of your Safety Circle can follow your live location during an alert.

Use the flashlight

Press the button on the right side of Halo to turn on its bright flashlight.

Find Halo through a tracking network

If you complete the optional tracking-network setup, you can locate Halo using Apple Find My or Google’s Find Hub.

Help someone return a lost Halo

The QR code on the back of Halo works with Pebblebee Link. It is activated automatically when Halo is added to the Pebblebee app.

Set up and use the recovery QR code on your Halo

Manage Halo in the Pebblebee app

Open Halo in the Pebblebee app to manage its safety features and settings, view its battery level, and keep its firmware updated.

Note: Halo does not support the Phone Finder feature.
