Panic Button with User Recorded ID Message
Model PB-3 is an Emergency Phone Panic Button designed to mount under a desk or
countertop and provide a quick and reliable way to make a silent analog emergency
call. The called party can silently monitor the situation or engage in two-way handsfree
communication by entering a touch tone "#".
The PB-3 is designed to connect to any standard analog telephone line, analog phone
system station or FXS port. All programming parameters, including phone numbers
and location numbers, are stored in non-volatile memory. The unit is telephone line
powered, requiring no batteries or external power, and is compatible with common
Central Station Monitoring equipment.
The PB-3 dials up to 5 emergency numbers, as well as 2 central station numbers, and
can be easily programmed from any touch tone phone. The Panic Button can be
programmed to automatically deliver a digital announcement identifying the location of
the emergency call, and an optional DTMF touch tone code may also be delivered.
The blue LED integrated into the push button will light, indicating that an emergency
call is in progress.
