The details
The Daytech Seniors Emergency Button System is a wireless, battery-powered call button that can be worn on lanyards, hung around the neck or placed in a pocket. In the event of an emergency, instead of trying to move or yell for help, the person in distress can press the button that transmits a signal to a receiver and emits a loud ringtone alerting other people in the home for help.
It has a working range of 500 feet when used in open areas and is splash-proof but not waterproof. The receiver, which needs to be plugged in, has 20 different ringtones to choose from as well as five adjustable volume levels and a blue flashing light.
The call button requires two AAA batteries, which are included with the product.
