Step-by-Step Fix

Disable "Hold to Turn On"

Settings > Siren > Toggle "Hold Action Button" OFF.

Change Action Button Feature

Assign the button to something else like "Workout" or "Flashlight".

When to See a Technician

The Siren is 86 decibels; it's designed to be heard from 600 feet away, so accidental triggers are very loud.
