Abstract

See full text

An alarm apparatus, a system and/or a method for securing an article are provided. The alarm apparatus, the system and/or the method may operate as an alarm system that may prevent a theft and/or a removal of the article. The alarm apparatus, the system and/or the method may have a loop alarm that may monitor whether the article is secured to a display with a tether. The loop alarm may be attached to the article, such as, for example, a portable electronic device. The article may be on display and/or may be used, manipulated, tested and/or transported by consumers. The loop alarm may have a two conductor cable that may tether the loop alarm and/or the article to a cable housing. The loop alarm may enter an alarm mode when the loop alarm detects that the loop alarm has been detached from the article and/or when the loop alarm detects that the two conductor cable has been cut and/or damaged. The loop alarm may produce an audible indicator and/or a visible indicator of the alarm mode from a location of the article.
