Triggering Alerts on Panic Enabled Chromebooks

Step One: Access the App

Click the EducationShield Chrome icon in your System Tray to launch the app.

Step Two: Choose an Incident Type

Once the app opens, select the type of alert you want to trigger:

This only works if the Chromebook Device has Panic Buttons enabled in the 911Cellular Portal. 

• False Alert (F) – Cancel a previous alert or test.

• Test Alert (T) – Use for practice or testing.

• Verified Alert (V) – Confirmed emergency or panic event.

Click the appropriate Incident Type to send the alert.

Step Three: Using Keyboard Shortcuts 

Chromebooks do not support system-wide hotkeys.
You must open the EducationShield Chrome App manually from the system tray.
Once open and in focus, you can trigger incidents using:

• F — False Alert

• T — Test Alert

• V — Verified Alert

That’s all you need to know to trigger alerts from a panic-enabled Chromebook!
