Changing the countdown timer is helpful when there is a prevalence of false alarms. Workers can change the countdown timer to allow themselves enough time to interact with WorkerSafety Pro before the alarm is triggered. #### **Note** ***You can only change the countdown timer for Non-SOS alarms, i.e, Fall Detection, Worker Down, and Check-ins. *** **To change the countdown timer:** 1\. Open WorkerSafety Pro. 2\. Tap the profile icon. ![WSP HS-png](https://support.becklar.com/hs-fs/hubfs/WSP%20HS-png.png?width=235&height=418&name=WSP%20HS-png.png) 3\. Tap *"**Countdown Settings**"* ![](https://support.becklar.com/hs-fs/hubfs/menu-png.png?width=235&height=418&name=menu-png.png) 4\. Use the slider to select any time between 30 seconds and 5 minutes. In the example below, the worker has changed the countdown timer to 3 minutes. ![](https://support.becklar.com/hs-fs/hubfs/timer-png.png?width=235&height=418&name=timer-png.png) 5\. Tap "***Back***" until you get back to the home screen of WorkerSafety Pro. ![](https://support.becklar.com/hs-fs/hubfs/timer-png-1.png?width=215&height=382&name=timer-png-1.png)![](https://support.becklar.com/hs-fs/hubfs/menue-png.png?width=215&height=382&name=menue-png.png)![Back to HS-png](https://support.becklar.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Back%20to%20HS-png.png?width=197&height=350&name=Back%20to%20HS-png.png) 6\. The countdown timer has been reset. Each time a non-sos alarm is triggered, the worker will now have 3 minutes to interact with it until emergency contacts are notified. **Note: *This does not apply to SOS alarms, which will always have an 8-second countdown.*** - [Getting Started](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Sign In/Set Up](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/getting-started?hsLang=en#sign-in-set-up) - [Safety Dashboard](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/safety-dashboard?hsLang=en) - [Integrations](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/integrations?hsLang=en) - [Emergency Contacts](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/emergency-contacts?hsLang=en) - [Subscription & Billing](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/subscription-billing?hsLang=en) - [Permissions & Privacy](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/permissions-privacy?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Location](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/permissions-privacy?hsLang=en#location) - [Safety Protocols](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/safety-protocols?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Check-Ins](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/safety-protocols?hsLang=en#check-ins) - [Fall Detection](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/safety-protocols?hsLang=en#fall-detection) - [Worker Down](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/safety-protocols?hsLang=en#worker-down) - [Required Check-ins](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/safety-protocols?hsLang=en#required-check-ins) - [Cancelling an alarm](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/safety-protocols?hsLang=en#cancelling-an-alarm) - [SOS](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/safety-protocols?hsLang=en#sos) - [Devices & Hardware](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/devices-hardware?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Apple Watch](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/devices-hardware?hsLang=en#apple-watch) - [Bluetooth Safety Button](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/devices-hardware?hsLang=en#bluetooth-safety-button) - [Bivy Satellite Device](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/devices-hardware?hsLang=en#bivy-satellite-device) - [Series X Device](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/devices-hardware?hsLang=en#series-x-device) - [T-Satellite](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/devices-hardware?hsLang=en#t-satellite) - [User Guides](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/user-guides?hsLang=en) - [Training Resources](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/training-resources?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Emergency Response Plan](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/training-resources?hsLang=en#emergency-response-plan) - [Emergency Response Plan (Professionally Monitored)](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/training-resources?hsLang=en#emergency-response-plan-professionally-monitored) - [Admin](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/admin?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Login with SSO](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base/admin?hsLang=en#login-with-sso) [![MicrosoftTeams-image (18)](https://support.becklar.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Marketing%20Images/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(18).png?width=180&height=44&name=MicrosoftTeams-image%20(18).png "MicrosoftTeams-image (18)")](https://becklar.com/workforce-safety/) [Becklar Help Center](https://support.becklar.com/knowledge-base?hsLang=en) Copyright © 2025, Becklar Workforce Safety
