MERCURY FAQ
As we continue to build upon Mercury’s platform, here are some things to keep on your radar:
Introduction
Since the Mercury audible family of products is using new technology, it was clear from the beginning that the owners should participate in new software developments. To those who helped test the beta version of the app and are already a part of this process; we say, “Thank you!”. To those of you joining us now, “Welcome!”
So far your feedback had led us to implemented a fourth canopy alarm for the Mercury Crimson, and two adjustable climb alarms for the Crimson and Jade. We’ve also made advancements to the algorithm and still have more to come.

Sound Tip:
Since the Mercury is so convenient and small, you can adjust the volume by turning the speaker opening (not the white one) in best position for your ear. Face the speaker opening towards you ear with the display and buttons towards your helmet.
