Personal Assistance System
The Personal Assistance System is an alert button. It is programmed to automatically call for help when you press the button. This system can help you feel more secure in your home.
How does the Personal Assistance System work?
The system accepts up to nine pre-programmed telephone numbers, such as family members, neighbours or friends.
When you press the button, the person you are calling receives a message telling them that you need help. If the person at the first phone number does not answer, the system automatically dials the second programmed number, and so on.
You can wear the alert button as a necklace or bracelet.
