How many badge reels are included in a pack?

What is the purpose of the breakaway clasp?
The breakaway clasp is a safety feature designed to separate if the lanyard is pulled or caught, preventing choking hazards or damage to the reel and the item attached.
Can I attach heavy items to this reel?
These reels are designed for lightweight items like ID badges, key cards, or whistles. Attaching heavier items may strain the retraction mechanism and compromise its performance.

Troubleshooting
Reel cord does not retract fully.
Ensure the cord is not snagged on anything. Gently assist the retraction by hand. Avoid forcing the cord. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may be damaged.
Clip is not holding securely.
Check if the clip is attached to a thick or slippery material. Try attaching it to a different location or a more suitable fabric. Ensure the clip's teeth are clean and not damaged.
Breakaway clasp came apart unexpectedly.
This is a safety feature. Realign and re-engage the two parts of the clasp firmly until they click together. Ensure it is correctly assembled for proper function.
Cord extends but feels weak or stretched.
The cord may have been overextended or is showing signs of wear. Inspect the cord for damage. Replace the reel if the cord's elasticity is compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up your Avery 4829 Retractable Badge Reel, simply attach the sturdy clip to your desired location – a belt loop, waistband, pocket edge, or lanyard. Then, attach your ID badge, security card, or other small essential item to the loop or clip on the end of the retractable cord. Extend the cord as needed to present your badge or use the attached item.
Compatibility: These reels are compatible with most standard ID cards, security badges, key cards, and small, lightweight items. The clip is designed to grip firmly onto various fabric thicknesses and materials. The reel itself is best suited for items that do not exceed a moderate weight.
Care: To maintain the performance of your badge reel, avoid overextending the cord beyond its 80cm limit, as this can stress the internal mechanism. Wipe the reel clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed; avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the reel in water. Ensure the breakaway clasp is properly connected after each use to maintain its safety functionality. Periodically check the clip for secure grip and the cord for any signs of fraying.
