How easy is it to push the emergency button that automatically sends a mayday and location? I am wondering if it is easy to hit accidentally.

You have to hold the button down for a bit. The accidental bump is not long enough.

The feature you are mentioning for mayday and location is not something I am aware of. I did not know that this radio had such a feature. Did I miss something?

In addition to other answer, you can program the button to go just to you or someone else. That way you can find out immediately if it is going to be a problem. You can also turn that button off.

Yes, easily. That's how I prefer to use it, actually. It has push button activation.

A single push button can trigger many alarm units. I have 4 units ringing off one pushbutton. Very reliable, great range.

Holding down the "Ready/Go" button should work. It does for me. Hope this helps. :-)

Its a great alarm clock, but it is limited to only 2 alarms. Additionally it does not allow you to designate specific days for the alarm, like the iPhone does. Hope that helps.

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.

Just open the box and quickly remove your mail. I never had problem with rain. Changed batteries 4 times and still the unit worked only "sometimes". Today, FEB 10, the alarm DID NOT go off when the mail was delivered, BUT DID GO OFF when my wife opened the box and took the mail out. What good is that ?

Just push the "minute" and "second" (small_) buttons at the same time. I use this timer daily at work, and I really like it!

It would be necessary to push the button to call for help. The most use we have found from the device is giving a very, very general indication of where our child has been (not even within actual blocks but much further from actual locations and without being informed in a timely manner). This could not be useful at the moment of kidnapping, might provide very general travel path information after the fact. The battery on the device doesn't hold up either. When our contract runs out, we will be switching to a smart phone with an app for tracking the phone.

Yes, you can set up several people to call before calling 911. Its a good idea - especially if you have animals that will need to be controlled. I have mine setup so that if the GPS signal shows that I'm at X, then call this number. If it shows me at Y, call a different number. It is also advisable to contact your local fire rescue folks and ask them what you can do so they don't knock your door down when they respond. Where I am, we have a KNOX Box that the fire department keeps the master key for. So they can open the KNOX box next to my front door and inside, there is a key to my front door. Hope I've answered your question.

I am not sure about this one...I have this set up in locations that are outside and get triggered easily. My inbox would be crazy overloaded if I had this enabled. Not sure of the capabilities on that area...sorry not much help.

You have to turn it on, then push the "shock" button. Very small chance of going off in your pocket. I haven't had any issues. However, I have found that it needs to be charged a lot more often then the directions say.

Hi Joyce. It isn't easy to do because the directions are worthless! It will set! Just keep experimenting with the buttons while it's in time/date stamp. It's been months sense I reset mine and I really don't remember what sequence of buttons I pushed. Sorry. I wish I could be of more help.

There is a little screw type pin that you pull out in an emergency. You just jerk it & it alarms. You just put the pin in back in the hole & turn it a few times to turn it off. It serves the purpose.

It only flashes after being pushed to start the auto-connect. There is a time when it stops waiting for a connection for better security so you have to push the button again if you needed more time.

It depends on the user. It was easy for me to press on/off button. You being a guy, I could see you might encounter some issues with the buttons.
