Abstract

An emergency alarm alert device that has a dual control consisting of one remote control and one manual control. Both controls may activate the alarm to arm and disarm when receiving the selected signal from the controller. The device includes an alarm sound as an audio signal and a light as a means of a visual signal. The alarm device may be used by children as young as five years of age up to the elderly as a means of receiving emergency assistance when required. The alarm device consists of a manual control to be used to activate the alarm if and when the batteries are not functioning in the remote control. The alarm device is provided power by using batteries in order to be functional if the electricity is not operating such as during hurricanes, earthquakes, automobile accidents and many other uses. The transmitter and receiver units are pre-factory set, to send and detect a coded signal, whereby the receiver unit only responds to the transmitter unit sending the coded signal.
