    Product Description:

    The Sakar Talking Caller ID Emergency Phone with Wireless Remote Pendant acts as an invaluable safety device that can get you immediate help in emergency situations and adds numerous features that will make your telephone conversations easier on a daily basis. It's the perfect phone for older individuals and anyone who may be living alone, as well as the hard of hearing and those with low vision.

    When the emergency alert system is activated, a loud alarm will sound for 15 seconds to alert anyone who is in the house or nearby. If no help arrives, the emergency call system is activated and the phone will automatically dial up to 30 numbers that you have pre-programmed into the phone book, including 911 (which is recommended.) Once one of your emergency contacts is reached, they will hear your pre-recorded emergency message (if you have entered one) or the standard emergency alert message installed at the factory. By pressing 0 on their phone, your emergency contact automatically activates the speakerphone on your emergency phone and is able to speak with the injured or disabled person. (Note: You can also terminate the conversation from the wireless pendant.)

    Special features include:

    • Emergency alert system calls for help
    • Remote pendant works up to 50 ft from phone base
