The relief this gives me has no monetary value. It has been a huge relief for me and my family. Hubby needed help twice the day before I ordered. I was out in the Garden, both my Son and my Nephew (Adults) were Gaming in separate rooms with of course headsets on and did not hear Hubby calling. He laid on the floor for what he said was 20 minutes calling for help. The first time was a bathroom issue and again I was outside. I would not expect the Boys to help with that issue but He laid on the floor of the hall for 20 minutes calling and was unheard. YES THIS WORKS right out of the box. NO I do not like the DingDong and Hate it but Hubby was able to change one of the “sets” to a different sound. AND we have not had to Respond to a “Help” since that day a couple weeks ago. These little goodies are a God Send to have if you have someone with “Falls and Needs” and a big house. Ours is about 2700 sq feet and these things are LOUD and I can hear them and the Boys can Hear them with the Headsets on….YEAH. Gives me HUGE Relief. 10 Stars for being READY to GO out of the Box. Just plug in the Receiver to the electrical outlet and it goes off to let you know it is set up already. Press the Red Button on the Transmitter (the wear around the neck part) and you are ready to receive the HELP Me Signal when it is needed. I do test these every now and then to just make sure it is working. So far No Problem. I chose this one because it had 2 Transmitters for 3 Receivers…as I wanted one Receiver outside. The 2nd Transmitter hangs on the Shower Door and of course the main one around Hubby’s Neck. So far so good.

I have a multi level home and an elderly parent who needs a lot of help but can never seem to get anyone’s attention. These just plug into the wall and wait for the included lanyard button signal. They Have great range and are as loud as a door chime. They play a tone when plugged in to let you know they are working. No setup was needed. Just plug and go. Put one On each level and one in my room just in case.

I bought these 3 years ago as my husband and I were going through health problems, and we’re often on different levels of our home. No separate pay service is needed, and we can hear them from anywhere in the house. Range is good enough we can wear them while working outside in case one has an emergency with a power tool. Mine are still on their original batteries, too. (Bonus: While my dogs bark at our doorbell, they don’t bark at this.)

As the heading says, this is a good product, although I’ve had it only 1 day and my house is small at 1300 sq ft for the main level. Here are some points that will help you use it, in random order. Instructions are in English but are inadequate for advanced setup. Test this for yourself in your house, before you put labels on it. It’s radio, and it’s not GUARANTEED to work in all cases. There is a disclaimer to this effect in the instruction sheet. It says don’t use for life and death circumstances. Get an actual certified “medical device” in that case. You should test each button and receiver every month or two in my opinion. The remotes have LED’s which should light up and, of course, the receivers should alert. I THINK you can replace the remote batteries but don’t know for sure. I don’t think the instructions mention it.
I’ll start by describing my pictures. I don’t know if the order will be the same when this is posted.
Pictures 1 & 2 – I’ve placed a call button in a 2″ x 3″ zip lock bag so I can put it in the shower. The lanyard exits the bag on the bottom then wraps around back and goes up top. There’s tape front and back at top and bottom edges. If any water dribbles down the lanyard, it will drop down into the tub.
Pictures 3 & 4 – Shows labels I put on the transmitter and receiver to number them.
Picture 5 – Shows the buttons. These are counter intuitive to me. The small button is volume. It has 4 levels plus off. NOTE, it always comes back on after a power failure at what appears to be level 3. If you always want these to be softer or louder, you’ll have to reset the volume on each receiver after a power failure. I don’t like that, but I can live with it. I’ll probably leave it at default volume. The large up / down button is to select one of 60 or so tunes. Apparently different buttons can trigger different tunes.
If all you want is for the NEW remotes and receivers that came in the SAME box to produce a simple ding dong tone, mine worked right out of the box. If you want more complex setup, it gets a little tedious. In that case expect to spend a couple of hours setting it up and testing it. I have 4 receivers and 6 remotes. I’ll share the procedure. The instructions mention having different buttons in different locations do different tones. I personally won’t remember which is which so I have all receivers and buttons set to the same tone. But, as I said, I have a small house. There’s only a few places I can be called from.
Picture 6 is a mechanical tally counter that I had sitting around. It’s handy for setup. You could also use an app on your phone or even a calculator set to add 1 every time you press equals.
Picture 7 is a grid chart I made to track which buttons and receivers I’ve set up and tested. In the picture, I’ve set up and tested all 6 buttons with receivers 1 and 2 but not 3 and 4 at the time.
In the instructions they mention an emergency mode. It took a while to figure it out. If you press and release the button, the configured receivers should alert with the selected tone. I would press for 1 second then release, rather than a quick click and release. If there are doubts as to whether all receivers go off, you could press and release 3 times for example. If you press the button for 10 seconds (the manual is wrong), the receivers emit a siren sound. That will continue until you press the volume button on each receiver.
There is no easy way to tell what tone the unit is on so here’s my method which could change if the design changes. When you plug in the receiver it defaults to a ding dong tone. I consider that the baseline tone. If I press the down button, it produces the siren tone. I consider that to be the end of the sequence. So, if I start on ding dong and press up, I click my tally counter once. When I hear a tone I like, I note the number on the counter. I want a tone that lasts a few seconds so I’m more likely to hear it. Some tones sound shrill to me. Some sound like they’d give me a heart attack if I hear it when I’m asleep. Some are too slow. It’s a matter of preference. So, I went through the tones and noted a few that I liked. If you’re over the half way point, you could count from the baseline backwards. Eventually I land on one specific tone number. Using the tally counter allows me to replicate the same thing on every receiver. So, as an example, say I want to use tone number 10 up from the baseline. Here’s how to set it up.
I recommend labeling each receiver and remote with a number if you know you’re keeping the system. Don’t munge it up then return it. So, my receivers are numbered R1, R2, R3, R4. My transmitters are numbered T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6. Plug in a receiver. It should default to the baseline tone. Press down once and you should hear the siren. Press up once to get back to ding dong. Reset your tally counter to zero. Press up once and click the tally counter once. This is tone 1. If you really like it, make a note of the number. Continue cycling up and making notes. Eventually choose the tone(s) you like. I’m assuming I’m using tone # 10.
Unplug the receiver for 15 seconds and plug back in. It should again be at the default tone. Cycle up to tone 10 and verify it’s the one you want. Press and hold the volume button until the receiver light turns on. Press the call button on the first remote. It should pair to the receiver, which should acknowledge the pairing. Press and hold the volume button on the receiver (again) until the receiver light turns on. Press the call button on the 2nd remote. It should pair. Do this for all call buttons that you want to trigger this receiver. Use your grid chart to tell which buttons have been paired to receiver 1.
Once all the buttons are linked to receiver 1, test each button. Note the results on your grid chart. Now go through all this again with the buttons that you want to trigger receiver 2. Continue until all receivers are programmed and tested with all buttons. Deploy the receivers to their final locations. Then do some testing with the call buttons as far away as they’re likely to be when in use. The instructions mention how to clear the programming from the receiver but I haven’t tried it.
I like the product, after 1 day, and I plan to keep it. I’ll test it regularly. I don’t like the change in volume after a power failure but I can live with it. I recommend running anything that’s electronic and plugged in on a surge protector. For life and death situations get a certified “medical device” instead.
Hope this helps you use this product.

My mom kept falling in our home, unfortunately, it is difficult to hear her calling for help. She now (most of the time) wears a necklace with the emergency button on it, under her clothes. We placed the 3 separate receivers in remote places like the patio and the garage. We have even moved one outside while working in the yard. My mom has used this on 2 separate occasions, and it has worked flawlessly. This system has allowed us to feel more secure in leaving mom free to roam the house, knowing that she use the button at anytime, to reach us. It does not work on phone lines, but we knew that. But someone is always home so this works very well for us.
Set up was easy, it took me a minute to figure out that each emergency button can be set to a different tune. We do not use the “doorbell” sound. My mom liked the tune of “Fur Eleise”. She has accidentally triggered the system by leaning against the washing machine and the sink. But the few false alarms are worth it just to know the system is working. The music alarm can be made quite loud. We have no problems hearing it throughout our home or outside when we moved it.
I’m very pleased with this purchase. The added knowledge that mom won’t be on the floor for an hour, hollering for help is priceless.
