Hello, when you say 'push the button down to talk' does that mean it needs just the one button to be pushed and held to make the two-way connection?

yes, you just push the side button and hold it down to talk.then release it to hear the other person talk.
1354008
yes. Located on the side is the transmitter button. When not pushed the device is in listen mode, when the button is pushed it activates the microphone and makes that device the transmitter.

No. There is only one button, which controls play/pause during music playback and answers an incoming call.

The push-to-talk button might be a bit hard for little hands to use one-handed - if they are happy using two it might be ok. You can lock out channel changes so that shouldn't be a problem.

You have to hold the button down. There are two buttons for the two speeds.

Yes, this is exactly how we use this. You push the talk button and can speak into the room where the other unit is placed. One challenge- if your kids have headphones on, they may not hear you. There is also a cAll button that is a ringer to help get there attention before you speak. Great device!

my button is stuck on one saying: no, no, no...for the last time, NO! When I first got it over a year ago it had many sayings, but I can't remember if they were in different voices, sorry

I use the button as a signal to alert the person I want to talk to. They may not be close to their unit. I have not tried the voice activation.

yes in deed, I have one unit in my elderly mothers room and ran a long line to the main unit in my room, it stays on all the time. however, if I need to talk to her ,yes I need to press the button, the way I have it I can hear her without her having to press anything, I hear her tv on at night. good for safety reason, if she can not get up, she can tell me without trying to press a button. depending on your needs its great if you place the main unit (the one with volume control in the room where they can't hear you, but you can hear them. I have had mine for a very long time now. works as great as it did from day one. hope this helps.

Unfortunately, I have not activated the second button. We use it because my wife's Parkinson's Disease has weakened her voice so much that she needs to have a way to reach me if I'm not by her side. This device does the trick very nicely. I cannot say if the second call device signals are interpreted by the receiver (the device I carry) in the same manner as the first. sorry. But I will say this simple little device has paid for itself ten times over in the short amount of time we've been using it. It is not just that it has prevented falls, it has provided a sense of comfort for both my wife and me, just in the knowledge that the other is never more than a simple press of the button away.

The transmitter does not have an audible tone when the button is pressed - only a light indicator. You can hear the base unit dialing which confirms a successful transmission. My mother-in-law had difficulty not knowing whether she pushed the button or not largely due to confusion due to Parkinson's disease even though the base unit was in her room. There is a delay before the phone starts dialing. She was convinced the button did not work every time. We tested it repeatedly with never once a failure. An audio tone could be a useful feature.

Hi Lillehammer, I asked my husband about the button on the side and he said the phone can be use like a walkie talkie, if you have 2 of the same phones connected to the base. He showed me how and it does work. To turn of the walkie talkie, you just hit the red button (off button) twice. Pretty neat, especially if you are outside hanging out clothes or walking the dog and he is inside the house.

Their information says that one button can communicate with multiple receivers for larger installations. And that multiple push buttons can be used to signal separate door locations up to 5. So what you are asking should work

Not that I know of...it might be a sub function of one of the other buttons but I have never tried. I don't like to use it for calls. Its a little awkward and both sides of the conversation sound weird

Just push it in. Sometimes you may have to force it in, but other than pushing it in that's how I made the connection.

Yes, the two outside buttons are volume up and volume down. The middle button is to initiate pairing. The thing in front of the middle button is an LED.

It does NOT require pushing a button. However, the first few seconds of voice are not transmitted. It takes a few seconds for activation to kick in. You can have your parent say something (eg one-two-three-four), to trigger the vac, then speak whatever he/she wants to say.

You need to hold the button down. I prefer this to a "double click" approach.
