1. Alarm apparatus comprising:
- an electrical wall outlet providing a source of electrical energy;
first means for generating an audible alarm-signal;
second means for generating a visual alarm-signal;
third means, including a radio receiver, for coupling said electrical energy to said first and second signal-generating means;
fourth means worn by a user for generating a trigger signal, and including a remote control transmitter and a manually operable switch;
with said radio receiver being normally inoperative to disconnect said source of electrical energy from said first and second alarm-signal generating means and being responsive to the generation of said trigger signal from said fourth means for connecting said source of electrical energy to said first and second alarm-signal generating means for turning on both said audible and visual alarm-signals; and
wherein said second means is set in a prominent window at the user'"'"'s location and includes means for generating a flashing light when energized;
wherein said fourth means also includes a second manually operable switch for generating a second trigger signal, and wherein said radio receiver is responsive to said second trigger signal to connect said source of electrical energy only to said second alarm-signal generating means to only turn-on said visual alarm-signal.

Abstract
Apparatus is described, plugged into an electrical wall out-let for energization but with a battery back-up, to sound a siren-type tone and to illuminate a flashing blue light when activated by a user by remote control through a transmitter worn by the user as a pendant or otherwise, with the flashing blue light being set in a prominent window at the user'"'"'s location to alert and guide neighbors, quick-response assistance personnel and passersby, in general, respecting an emergency condition, and with an ON-OFF switch on the transmitter to deactivate the audio alarm while continuing to maintain the visual alarm, as where a silent warning is desired, or where a telephone connection can be had.
