Here at B A S U, excellence is the standard and 100% is the passing score. Literally. All of our team members undergo training to ensure that they understand all of the in’s and out’s of the B A S U way. Once that training is complete, team members take a test where the passing score is 100% because it is that important to us at BASU.COM for all of our team members to be on board with providing only the best in all aspects of the company. How do you provide only the best? You give it your all. And that’s 100%. So many people, companies, and organizations can talk about the pursuit of excellence and the importance of this value. But here at B A S U, we execute and practice this pursuit with the measurement of 100% being the only acceptable grade. This allows us to provide our customers with truly excellent customer service and products. Because our standard is 100%, we won’t stop until our customers are 100% satisfied with our service, our products, our design, and our company. So rest assured knowing that we mean it when we say we value and aim to provide excellence in all that we do!   Memorial Day, also known as Decoration Day, is a national holiday spent remembering the men and women who have died serving in the armed forces. While America has had a long history of honoring those who have fallen in battle, the first Decoration Day was on May 30, 1868, after Commander in Chief John A. Logan designated the day “for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land.” Memorial Day became an official federal holiday in 1971.
BASU.COM has always honored our veterans and we would like to take the day to honor those who have given their lives to fight and die for their country.

We are always asking ourselves: Is this the best way to be doing this? Is there a smarter/quicker/easier way? Innovation can make everyone’s lives easier, and it should be scalable.

But innovation for B A S U is not just about what’s new; it’s about what’s best. Innovation to us means we are always researching, asking, and listening to see if there is a better way.

Our commitment to excellence and innovation go hand-in-hand and allow us to pursue our mission: to create superior products that provide long-term value for customers by significantly improving their lives.  The B A S U eAlarm will give off a sound at 120dB, and the eAlarm+ will produce a sound at 130dB. The difference in range is due to the original use for each product; the eAlarm+ is louder by 10 dB because it was intended for outdoor activities, such as hiking, while the eAlarm was intended for urban use, like commuting in the city. Both items do produce a significantly loud noise in order to deter crime, provide a rescue signal or intrusion alert, and repel animals. You may have wondered what these units actually mean? What is a decibel (dB)? For your reference, we have put together some information on the decibel scale: The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale used to meaningfully measure and express sound. 0dB is the most quiet sound a human ear can hear, and any increase in units of 3dB would represent a doubling of sound intensity or acoustic power. Also, the relative loudness humans perceive is often subjective, and an increase of 10dB can sound twice as loud to the same person. But hearing loss or damage is not dependent upon just how loud something is; it also depends on the intensity of the sound. Please reference this article to see how exposure to different levels of sound on the decibel scale can damage your hearing: http://www.noisehelp.com/noise-dose.html So remember to always wear protective gear over your ears whenever you test your eAlarm or eAlarm+! It’s just as important to protect your ears and hearing as it is to test your eAlarm/eAlarm+.  BASU.COM is passionate about providing safety and security to our customers and communities. This is why the eAlarm releases an ear-piercing sound in order to deter crime, as the numbers show: "Up to 68% of criminals will leave a crime scene completely empty handed once an alarm is heard." Our customers have used the B A S U eAlarm for a safer commute, safer hiking trips, and even animal repellent! The B A S U eAlarm is especially good for traveling because it is permitted in your carry-on luggage, so you’re covered during all moments of your trip. Here are three easy-to-remember steps we recommend whenever there is a situation in which you need to use your eAlarm.  These three quick steps are easy to keep in mind to ensure your safety whenever you or a loved one is exposed to a dangerous situation. Always pull the pin first to sound off the alarm, deterring the potential crime. Running as soon as possible creates distance between you and the danger, further lowering the risk of an incident. Lastly, calling the police ensures that you or your loved one can be protected by the advisement from the operator and reporting the incident.
Some general safety tips to keep in mind:
The eAlarm+ comes with patented B A S U SmartHook™ Technology, which allows for it to be used as a tripwire alarm. This is useful in hotel rooms, camping grounds, and any other area that needs to be secured. Here’s how to create an intruder alert with the eAlarm+: What you’ll need:
Then, tie the the other ends of the cords to the door handle and a stationary object close by. Make sure that everything is TAUT. The alarm needs to be set off as soon as the door opens and this will happen the quickest if the device is secured tightly between the door and stationary object. If possible, test the alarm to make sure it will go off as soon as the door is opened. Remember to wear protective gear over your ears whenever testing an alarm!

https://www.basu.com/socialresponsibility.html If you’re planning on taking any trips this summer, we’ve put together a list of tips and things to keep in mind while you’re out and about! Depending on where you’re going and who you’re with, some may make more sense than others. But it’s important to always be prepared, especially for an adventure!
And last but not least, don’t forget your eAlarm+! Take it with you on your carry-on so you’ll always have peace of mind and a way to protect your personal safety. We know how important safety is when you travel, and the eAlarm+ can be with you at every moment of your trip. Happy traveling!  “Waterproof” is a term that could mean a range of different things for a product. Is it watertight, water-repellant, or water-resistant? What are the variances between these broad labels? There is actually a way to measure how waterproof something is, and that is through the IP Rating Chart. “IP” stands for “Ingress Protection”, which “classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects (including body parts like hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water in electrical enclosures.” IP ratings or codes will begin with IP followed by two digits and an optional letter. According to the description, the IP code indicates more than the degrees of protection provided against water in electrical enclosures. The first digit after “IP” addresses degrees of protection against solids, while the second digit addresses liquids. The higher the level, as indicated by the number, the stronger the protection. For example, if an item’s code is IP00, this indicates that it is not protected from solids and liquids. If an item’s code is IP01, it is not protected from solids, but it is protected from condensation. B A S U’s eSpeaker 3.0 is rated IP67 waterproof: the speaker is fully splash proof, which means that it will survive rain or spills. According to an IP rating chart, it also means that it is protected from total dust ingress (entry) and from immersion between 15 centimeters and 1 meter in depth.  It’s important to know exactly how waterproof something is before you test your products’ ability to withstand liquids. Utilize the IP rating charts below for your reference!  sources: http://www.dsmt.com/resources/ip-rating-chart/, http://www.l-com.com/blog/?tag=/IP+rating
