How does it work?

Aid Call is a very simple to operate personal alarm system that communicates from the Alarm Base Unit to the Aid Call Emergency Response Centre via your telephone land line.

No more fuss than wearing a wristwatch - the remote control button can be worn as a pendant, or like a watch. The most important thing is that you wear or carry your remote button at all times.

Unlike a phone, you don’t need to dial an emergency service number, the range of the product should cover the average house and garden*, by simply pressing your remote pendant. You never know what may happen so the peace of mind it brings is priceless.

It should be noted that the equipment may vary from the diagrams illustrated on the website and in the printed literature, however please be assured all units are tested to our highest standards.

To activate the system:

Step 1 - Press the emergency button on your pendant or base unit.

Your Pendant is a radio alarm transmitter and will trigger a call  to the Emergency Response Centre within seconds and will work from anywhere in your home or garden*

Step 2 - The Emergency Response Centre will respond in seconds.

Our operators are waiting to help, even if you can't speak, they will know who is calling.

Step 3 - The appropriate help will be arranged for you.

Your chosen keyholders will be their first port of call, but if for any reason they cannot be reached, or whether it would be more appropriate (for example, if you need an ambulance), help will be arranged and the Response  Centre will stay on line until you are in safe hands.

Our operators are there 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

* The range will be checked upon demonstration or installation of the unit.
