We recommend testing your device at least twice a year to ensure it’s fully operational.

You should also test your device:

  • After an accident
  • After any major electrical work
  • If your vehicle battery has been replaced

If your device isn’t working, it cannot assist in recovery — so regular testing gives you peace of mind.
