Wonderful product used at home and at skilled nursing facility
LOVE THIS!! I have found so many purposes for this alarm system! GREAT VALUE!! My mom is blind and disabled. I have a three-button system, one for her recliner, one for the bathroom (hangs from the toilet tissue holder), and one for her bedroom nightstand. The buttons have an optional lanyard so it can be worn as a necklace, so I have that lanyard on each of the three buttons. The one for her bedroom nightstand she has gotten into the habit of wearing ALL the time. I like that despite her problems with colors and shapes, and despite her weak hand and finger strength, compounded with essential tremors, she is able to find the button and push the button. It has fancy features that the different buttons show up a different color on the receiver, but in my case I haven’t learned or plan to learn the color coding as I have a general idea where my mom is in advance of the alarm going off. I do also have a GPS cellular-based necklace alarm I have her wear, but it needs recharged every couple of days and if too low battery power they warn it might not even work (EEK!) This is nice because it is immediate for when she is home with me. I work from home, so my preference is this system. Since she shouldn’t answer our door, when I know someone is coming but I could be out in the yard or garage, she knows to press the button and I can wear the alarm on my pants waistband (it has a clip) and I can go straight to the door to meet someone, let them in, whatever. Also when she was recently discharged from the hospital into a skilled nursing facility, one day they put her in the chair without also handing her the tethered room alarm. She tried to get up on her own and fell. That night I took our alarm system into the skilled nursing facility, so now she has a wearable button that sets off the alarm. The nursing staff took one of her soda 12 packs I got her and attached her alarm receiver to it, and they placed this combo on the wardrobe next to her door, so even if her heavy door is closed, they can hear her alarm. Of course, in their large facility with many, many rooms, it is better if she is able to use their integrated system, but being blind and mobility challenged, this is a great backup if they again don’t give her the tethered room button by her bed attached to wall or if she is in bed and is unable to find the call button. I love the battery life… we use this system frequently, sometimes multiple times a day and I’ve yet to need to replace any batteries. I am so very glad that I got this alarm system for my mom. I highly recommend this.EDIT: Two AA batteries last 8 months in the pager, assuming your loved one is using this ALL the time. When the batteries go, the sound got softer so that is a huge plus that they still worked well enough to alert me and didn’t leave my mom without a way to let me know she needed something. If your loved one is not setting this off ALL THE TIME then the original batteries will last even longer. Frequent scenario here: “Do you need anything?” Reply “No” …go to other end of home, get comfy with feet up, alarm goes off, … I no longer run because we repeat this scenario multiple times many evenings, getting water, finding something, putting something away, etc. but it’s priceless for the many other times I arrived to find she’s fallen and needs help off the floor.I hope this review helps someone else.

Works well, minor adjustment
Great product. Only problem is that elderly with loss of finger feeling need to make sure they press center of button. Push button inside is directly in middle and doesn’t activate if person presses outer portion of red botton.Still a great value for cost and minor adjustment solved issue.

Great Item For The Money
Excellent item and works well. Alarm volume is adjustable and has other alarm options. Excellent buy for the money.

Portable, Good Ergonomic Design, Unreliable Junk
Amazon asks me to rate features, and I gave it five stars for volume control, ease of use, and noise level; all good things. The pager is small and portable with a belt clip, and the two remote buttons are large and easy to press. Mostly good stuff, when it works. But having it not work, even once, can be a danger, and it fails to work at all fairly often.One problem is the dodgy switch that flips between Alarm-Off-DingDong: internally it’s a cheap little thing that flexes and doesn’t switch crisply under it’s loose-fitting switch cover; ours wouldn’t consistently slide all the way to Alarm mode. (Off, by the way, isn’t a mode I find valuable in a pager… caregiving doesn’t have an off switch.)Beyond the cheesy mode switch, though, the pager receiver would intermittently fail to alert at all after about two weeks. The batteries were fine, and the receiver would chirp in response to volume changes, but pressing either of the remote buttons wouldn’t trigger it regardless of the mode switch setting. The only thing that seemed to get the receiver working again is removing and re-inserting the batteries.This was very close to being an excellent pager, without all the silliness of dozens of bizarre tunes to cycle through and multicolored flashy lights. Unfortunately, it failed at the one task it absolutely could not be allowed to fail at: reliable service.It’s a little concerning, because skimming through the various caregiver call button options on Amazon it looks like there are numerous cosmetic variations of exactly the same hardware, from apparently different companies with similar poor English, all around the same price, and the same user rating. It suggests that there are a lot of potentially defective pagers out there that will work fine until they don’t, hopefully not at some critical time.I’d pay five times the price for a simple pager I could truly rely on. For some things, quality matters far more than price, and manufacturers might do well to focus more on basic reliability and less on the cheap toy-like features.

Es excelente y muy útilLo compré para mi mamá, tiene muy buen alcance y muy buen volumen

Merveilleusement simple à faire fonctionner! Et très efficace. J’ai acheté cela pour permettre à ma mère, qui vient de subir une intervention chirurgicale majeure, de réveiller mon beau-père durant la nuit pour qu’il l’aide à se rendre à la salle de bain. C’est aussi bien pensé que 2 boutons d’alarme soient fournis avec le beeper, car on en met un dans sa chambre et l’autre dans la salle de bain. Cela nous a tous permis de savoir notre mère en sécurité!
