I'm concerned about how far my father could be from the console and have it pick up his voice. Also, does the console need to be by the phone?

Console needs to be hooked up to a phone, also the person who needs assistance would have to be in the room or pretty close to be heard because the pendant is only for activating the emergency calls. Mostly the object of this system is that it will call up to 8 phones that you program, it has a primary that you set up to call first and then if they don't answer it will call the next number and keep going until someone answers, you can also add 911 on the list or if they press the blue button 3 times it calls 911 automatically. It is a good system if someone is available to check on the person if they need help because you may not be able to hear them if they fall and are away from the console..... If they press the call button by accident they just need to press the grey one to cancel it. The reviews can probably help more then what I said but hope it helps.

The console can be as far away as your telephone cord (25) feet or whatever, it does not matter if the console can hear your father or not, any time 911 is called the police respond no matter what.

You may need a direct input box - depends on the sound system he will be using.

Dear Abuzer, I am not passionate of computer science and get bored to death very soon with those useless manual (on paper or on line the are equally hopeless). So after a few attempts, I gave up and connected the consolette to the audio output jack of a spare apple base station. As a result it is now connected to the home wi-fi but not on its "own device". If I have time to waste in the future will give it another try

Cant speak from experience but I believe all chat is through bluetooth. So I believe you could link that to the computer while the game audio is from the console. Not 100% though

Yes, I just tested it by connecting the receiver base to a wall charger and connecting it to my computer with a 3.5m cord instead of via USB. There is a switch on the front of the base that says console<----->PC Gaming, make sure its switched to Console before powering it on otherwise it won't use the correct input you want.

The signal seems plenty strong out to about 30'. Beyond that and you might start having issues. Of course, you're limited to the controls that the Fugoo supports unless you want to run back and forth to the phone to operate it. On the Fugoo itself, you have play/pause, next/previous track, and can initiate voice control for each of the platforms. That's enough to go through a playlist.

Seemed like when I got my father about 12 feet away, it went out. You have to be careful about other interference too. Really, they were a good purchase and he still uses them to this day!

I'm sorry that I can't help out with that - I remember it wasn't easy to figure it out. A friend of mine actually got it working but it took a lot of time to get it done. The manual is difficult to understand as well. If you can figure out how to sync up your remote with the console, you will get a prompt screen that will walk you through the setup process. Don't get too frustrated though - it's an excellent sound system, you'll love it.

Sure you can , it is only necessary that the console you are using has the 48v phantom power. Excelent microphone quality good choice.

it is actually my mother's phone but from what I have seen there is more of a delay than having to read very quickly, so trying to keep up with it is not a problem. As with TV if someone mumbles or talks very softly the person doing the captioning has a hard time hearing them correctly

Sorry, I only used mine 1 time and I wanna say that we had our family member on speaker phone. Sorry I couldn't be any help.

Irmina,Sorry, I can't help. I bought this as a gift for someone and, have had no reports on it. The recipient lives in another town and is a senior citizen. I set it up in his voice recorder and have not talked with him in over a month.

My mother uses the phone and I find it very loud. She also has it connected through her cable system that not only announces who is calling and flashes the name on the television screen if the TV is on- seriously cannot miss a call!

My husband is a truck driver, so there is always a lot of noise. Since I got him this headset, I can hear him much better, it often sounds like he is in the next room. If your mom has a weak voice, this might be good, just make sure the microphone is closer to her mouth. And make sure if you have one, your volume is up on your end.

You do need to set your console to AUX but i have found that listing to the radio and switching when you receive a call works well.

My husband uses big machinery (semi, bulldozer, combine, tractor, etc.) and says he has left his phone in the equipment and went outside to work on something or check something around the machine and hasn't been disconnected. So he thought a 100ft. or better. He is really pleased with the sound on his end he can hear the person he's talking with clearly and everyone says he sounds clear as well, doesn't seem to have much (if any) outside noise or cab noise. Plus it has been helpful when I'm flagging and helping move in from one field to the next, going on the highway...that way we are hands free and can give each other directions.
