Product Information
Full details
The Fox 40 Epik CMG Safety Whistle is designed for coaches, referees, outdoor enthusiasts, and safety personnel who require a reliable, high-decibel signaling device. Its primary benefit is the combination of an incredibly loud, 115dB pealess sound with an ergonomic mouth grip that ensures ease of use in high-pressure situations; however, users should note that the high volume requires caution during close-range signaling.

FAQs
Does this whistle contain a pea?
No, the Fox 40 Epik is a pealess whistle, which is why it is highly reliable and resistant to jamming.
How loud is 115dB?
115dB is very loud, roughly equivalent to a loud car horn at close range, designed to be heard over heavy traffic or crowds.
Can the CMG be removed?
The CMG is integrated into the design for comfort and stability and is not intended to be removed.
Is this whistle safe for children?
While it is a safety tool, the high decibel output is significant, and it should be used under adult supervision to prevent accidental ear strain.
Will the plastic break if dropped on concrete?
The whistle is constructed from high-impact, durable materials designed for professional sports use, though it should be handled with standard care.
Troubleshooting
Whistle sounds muffled or weak
Check the three chambers for any trapped debris, lint, or foreign objects. Rinse thoroughly with water.
Difficulty getting a consistent sound
Ensure you are blowing with a sharp, quick breath into the air intake rather than a slow, sustained puff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your whistle, attach the included carrying strap through the designated loop at the base. Before using, ensure the CMG is clean and free of debris. Maintenance is minimal: simply rinse the whistle under warm water after exposure to salt water or mud to keep the internal chambers clear. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubs on the rubberized CMG as this may degrade the material over time. Store the whistle in a dry place when not in use.
