Never did for me but there is a software update that fixes the issue. I think you can download it from the settings menu

That is optional. In case of emergency you would push the button to dial 911.

I don't believe so. You'll haver to dial all three digits, but it will dial 911 even with the keypad locked.

It is a recorded message to 911, then they can speak to you through the receiver. My mother in law fell and she pushed her button it went to 911 she could hear them but they could not hear her over the TV. They showed up so I call that success. The pendant does not receive or send audio

You can add multiple "emergency" numbers which can be called by pressing the emergency button on the back and then a single digit. If the user calls 911 or your public emergency number, no one else is notified.

If the door is locked they will knock it down to get in. As far as dialing directly to the station you will get a faster response call 911.

Yes. after a few seconds you will hear "this is an emergency call , please press (I forget the number). this way the machine knows you are not voice mail. If you don't answer or it goes to voice mail , it moves on to the second phone no. that you programmed

No, it keeps calling until someone answers and that person has to press a button and then it will stop calling.

No. 911 is part of the switched telephone network. A cell phone is a specialized radio that communicates with the switched telephone network, so you can reach 911 with it. If you're talking about communicating with the responders to 911 calls, like police and firefighters, the answer is: it depends. Some responders use frequencies the Baofeng can transmit and receive on, but it would be illegal. Many of the responders have gone to something called trunked radio systems, which works something like a private cellular system, and the Baofeng wouldn't do anything useful trying to talk to a trunked system.

No, mine just has a button to answer and hang up calls. Works very well however.

Yes, if the alarm is tripped it will dial several phone numbers in sequence. The first call can go to the monitoring company if you wish.

I'm sorry, I can't answer that since we always leave it on the charger. We use our cell phones mostly and just have the home phone for 911 and receiving faxes. Sorry I couldn't help.

All calls go directly to the GreatCall call center, and THEY will notify 911 if necessary.

You have ask your police station or 911responders in your town. They are very accommodating .The guardian works very well. And is easy compared to life alert . If you need to call you get the dispatcher at 911 and you get service quickly.

Cell Phones are required by US law to be able to call 911 without a SIM card. Whether the 911 Services know the GPS coordinates is dependant on the local capability of the 911 Response Center and the capabilities of the cell towers provided by the telecom service company. It is mandated by 2019 all 911 Dispatch centers, cell service providers, and cell phones transmit GPS coordinates during 911 calls in the United States. Currently if 911 is called in many location they will only triangulate location using cell towers. To serve as a location service to track people and geo bound them it would require a SIM card. I recommend in this case to buy a prepaid T-Mobile SIM card of $100 so that the minutes won't expire for a year. Until the total amount of minutes bought on T-Mobile prepaid add up to $100 the minutes expire in 3 months.
