LogicMark Guardian Alert 911 Emergency Protection

I bought this for my mother last Christmas. This only issue I have with this is the battery life. Guardian says only 30 minutes of talk time with the battery - enought for several 911 calls. However, I found this device can also be used to answer and talk on incoming phone calls. Because of the battery live (1 AAA) , it is not recommended. I will try to find some Lithum AAAs and see if we can extend this. As far as what is was designed to do: call 911. This is the best device on the market today. Don't get ripped off with the LifeLine and LifeAlert devices. They are only better if you do not have enhanced 911 service. Most communities do - be sure to check. Otherwise, save hundreds of $$ a year and get this instead.

The Guardian Alert 911 is all that it claims to be. Easy to set up and to use.

Initial base unit received was not operating, but a call to the Design Tech support line was answered promptly by a live person who quickly diagnosed the problem and immediately put a new base unit in the mail to me at no cost. GREAT PRODUCT SUPPORT! This replacement worked perfectly and my testing of the range of the phone to base was excellent. This unit was purchased for my 80 year old mom who is near blind and hard of hearing. She had been receiving numerous calls from services that wanted to sign her up for an alert service with a call center (who knows where) that would then call 911 if needed. These services have monthly fees and an initial cost that all totaled seemed financially draining. This unit has a single purchase price and you're done! Once I set up the unit in my mom's house I walked around her yard outside and used the test button to check status. I got excellent coverage everywhere in her yard and beyond (over 200'). I also checked her basement and got good coverage there as well. So everywhere she may decide to go she now has peace of mind that pressing one button will put her in touch directly with the local 911 operator. I had her test the actual button to call the 911 operator to make absolutely sure she would be able to communicate successfully (her hearing is not good), but the volume level was perfect and she told the 911 operator that there was no emergency, just testing her new Guardian Alert. The operator asked for her street address which she provided and the operator told her that was what was on her screen. Perfect! Now mom knows what to expect when she may need to press the button. It's all about peace of mind, and this unit delivers that and may someday save her life. Thanks Design Tech - a very cost effective solution. Now if those darn high-pressure (the sugar-sweet type) sales people from those expensive call center services will just stop calling her.
