RADR Safety, Pause, and Stop
Connect at zero intensity, verify pause and full Stop, and respond safely to disconnection or unexpected target-device output.
RADR can command motion or vibration on another device. The hazards and safe state depend on that target, so read both this page and the target manufacturer's safety instructions.
Unexpected output can cause injury
Hazard: the wrong target, an unverified control mapping, connection loss, or a high starting value can create unexpected motion or vibration. Consequence: this can cause impact, pinch, entanglement, internal injury, pain, or distress. Avoidance: confirm the target name, start at zero, keep the Stop control reachable, test without body contact, and disconnect target power if control is lost and doing so is safe.
Mandatory pre-use checklist
- Confirm the exact target model appears in Supported Devices and read its limitations.
- Inspect and position the target according to its own instructions.
- Close other Bluetooth apps and controllers.
- Turn every RADR output value to zero before connection.
- Confirm the selected device name; do not choose an unidentified device.
- Test a brief minimum output without body contact.
- Press the middle button once and confirm the target pauses.
- Use the documented full-Stop action for that target and confirm output is zero.

Pause is not full Stop
On OSSM, a single middle-button press pauses by setting speed to zero; changing the speed can resume motion. A double press performs the documented full Stop and resets motion parameters. For non-OSSM devices, mappings vary—use only the behaviour listed in the target's support entry and confirm it during the unloaded test.
Connection loss or unexpected output
- Use Pause or full Stop immediately.
- If RADR does not respond, move clear and turn off or disconnect the target when safe.
- Do not reconnect while the target is positioned for use.
- Record the target name, RADR firmware version, screen state, and last control used.
- Retest at zero without body contact. Stop using the combination if output, reconnection, or Stop behaviour is not repeatable.
