During the monitor and challenge for disarming, you must physically point to the disarm device.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not required
• D. Not specified

Answer: (A)

Pointing to the disarm device provides a clear visual cue so everyone knows exactly which device is being addressed during the monitor and challenge. This creates an unambiguous focus for the team, reducing the risk of misidentifying the device in a high-stress, noisy environment. By directing attention to the specific device, you confirm that the disarm action will target the correct equipment and that others can follow along safely.

If you didn’t point, the group might struggle to identify the right device, which could lead to confusion or unsafe actions. The expectation is a deliberate, visible signal to ensure shared situational awareness.
