Crazy-Prepared covers that concept in general, but Voice of the Resistance or Smoking Gun Control are specific reasons the device might be hidden.
v Very well could be, though I assumed OP was talking about "all-purpose" kinds of hidden devices for distress calls regardless of whether the circumstances make it necessary.

Is there a trope for when a character has a device concealed on their person to send a Distress Call? I'm thinking the ring that rich Alliance guy had in the Firefly episode "Trash", Jimmy Olsen's signal watch, things like that.
