When you’re worried about a loved one home alone or living on their own an emergency response system can give you both peace of mind and access help in an emergency. A new resource for alert systems is Value Tech Supply, a company that sells a variety of networking, electrical and security systems. One of Value Tech’s options is the Freedom Alert with its miniature pendant that allows the wearer to quickly contact friends and family at the push of a button. The Freedom Alert allows you instant 2-way speaker communication at the touch of a button. You can reach your family or friends, your doctor or 911 anywhere in or around your home. If your programmed contacts are unreachable at the moment, the system can default to 911 or an emergency operator. The Freedom Alert is an alternative to monthly services; it’s a one time purchase with no monthly fees.
And if you don’t want to wear it as a pendant, you can attach it to a beltclip, wheelchair, wrist strap—all accessories are included with your unit.
The Freedom Alert allows you to communicate within hundreds of feet from your base station for full house coverage including the front, back and side yards.
The battery in the pendant is a lithium ion battery that provides several hours of talk time on a full charge and up to several months of standby function. Two rechargeable batteries are included. One charges in the base station charger and the other is in the pendant. Simply swap the batteries every few months. You can press the battery test button on the back of the pendant for a second to hear an audible announcement letting you know the battery is okay, low or in need of replacing. The Freedom Alert is also fully portable for use in any home with any phone line. If you are visiting or going on vacation anywhere in the USA or Canada bring your Freedom Alert system with you and just plug in the phone cord and power adapter. The Freedom Alert complies with the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) standards. For more information, go to www.valuetechsupply.com/freedom-alert.html
