How to mute wristband alerts via the Proxxi Voltage App and by tap
IMPORTANT
While muted the wristbands will not provide any alerts when you are near energised equipment.
Only mute alerts if you will be spending an extended period of time working near energized equipment or if you are not in a potentially hazardous environment (ex. office, vehicle, home)
Muting via the Proxxi Voltage App
To mute alerts in the Proxxi Voltage App:
- Select the Alerts tab
- Toggle on "Mute Alerts"
- Confirm select the appropriate timer for alerts to be muted
All work safety procedures must continue to be followed while alerts are muted. Alerts can be muted for up to 5 hours at a time. After that time, the wristband will always switch back to the default defined in black so that you have maximum protection.
At this time, a wristband cannot be muted via the Proxxi Voltage Hub App.

Tap-to-Mute
Tap-to-mute allows you to enter in and out of a mute state without needing to use your mobile device. To tap-to-mute:
- Double-tap the wristband with an open palm.
- The wristband will enter a mute state for 1 hour.
- At the end of 1 hour, the wristband will automatically unmute.
- If unmuting is required before the end of the hour, double-tap again to unmute.
You will not be able to tap-to-mute if the wristband is actively alerting, and you must move away from the energised source to proceed with tap-to-mute.
The taps are relatively light - tapping with the palm of your hand (as opposed to fingers) can help control the force.
