How long does the emergency sound stay on once the emergency button is pressed. I assume till someone responds or the batteries run down, right?

You are correct, until someone silences the alarm and/or the batteries run out.

It stays on until someone answers it (turns it off). I don't know how long it will stay on because I've always shut it off.

When the button is pressed by the patient, the receiver plays the chosen song once, so the helper does not need to reset the receiver. When the patient presses the button again, the song plays once again. Hope this helps. :)

It works I do not know how long that it will stay on. However, you can buy mine that was only used for one week. It works. cearon1@yahoo.com

One of the on buttons turns them on and they stay on. The other on button turns them on - and then turns them off 4-6 hours later. It would help if the words on the bottom (on, off, on) were in a different color so you could read them easier!

if you shut off at twenty minutes when alarm sounds...it will reset to twenty minutes, but you will manually have to press start again to start the 20 min countdown. if you don't shut off, it will alert 'beep, etc. for one minute, then shut off and reset. still have to press start to countdown again. loudest timer i could find. chefzee

For the most part it needs to be cranked constantly. About 3 minutes of cranking, stop and use for about 30 minutes, and then crank again for more. It's mildly annoying - except in an emergency, when I needed an ambulance, it worked !

So I just tested mine and it does beep about 4 times every 10 seconds but it's not too loud or intolerable. Justenough to create a sense of emergency. I sized mine out for 60+ min of Critical Communications runtime but these are really meant to be used for short-term save everything and shut down functionality. You may be able to turn the beeping off but honestly, it's not too obnoxious.

Well. I didn't hold it straight on. I just used it randomly and pressed, all in one day for the graduation. But overall, I'd say 5 minutes if u kept pressing it and never stop . You should really get this!! It was so loud and amazing !!!!

I am having the same problem. After pushing the sensitivity button, I can hear out of the baby's room, then the unit mutes after a few seconds. Not quite sure if this is a battery saving feature...I always have mine plugged in next to my bed! It does go on when there is noise in the baby's room. I thought perhaps there was a reset button on the parent unit. Perhaps changing the battery will help. I guess it's time to refer to the owners manual. :-)

The call is automatically made after 5 minutes or 30 minutes of power outage. The time delay to call cannot be modified to a different (shorter or longer) period. This is to avoid temporary outage that typically comes back within a few minutes, and to avoid unnecessary calls. The local alarm on the unit will sound almost immediately after a power outage, but you have to be near the unit to hear it. I connected my unit to a phone line that has backup power to dial out at the first 5 minutes and every 1 hour afterwards (until cleared). The first 5-minute call can be handled by a UPS connected to a phone modem, but the next call needs a different backup power source, because my UPS only lasts for about 20 minutes. I purchased and installed an A/C inverter (with deep-cycle car battery as power backup) to handle this type of event. Your suggestion to vary the call period is a good one, especially when there may be life-saving equipment connected (respirator, etc). Hope Reliance will consider that in their next upgrade.

Yes, when test button is pressed, the emergency battery kicks in to keep the light lite for a period of time.RWH

Have no positive idea - in all probability, You should again push the button whichactivated the "It's Done" Tone/Alarm originally. Don't actually know - apparently I've never pushed my button - it's quiet!

It plays for 90 mins before turning itself off. However, if you press and hold the power button as you are turning it on, and the timer symbol on the screen disappears, it will remain on until the batteries die or you turn it off. There is no warning, it simply shuts off.

The battery will last for 10 hours, but only when kept at a moderate volume. If you crank the volume up near max, the battery will last about 5 hours.

Adam, as long as non of the tones are activated, the siren switch can be turned on. If the siren tones are active, the battery my die after a while.

The timer will keep the lights and sound on for 15/30/60 minutes. I think the lights turn off to keep the batteries from dying out. My baby girl was born January 31st of this year and I just now had to change the batteries out. I set the timer for lights and sounds for 30 minutes and then turn the sound back on for the rest of the night (waves or white noise). I've also used it for naps during the day.

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure it has different times but will shut off after a max time. And the others are right. My granddaughter loved it. Hers had a volume switch that cut out when trying to turn it down. I sent another and let them know. I don't if others have had the same problem. Doesn't it say how long it will play?
