We used to sell emergency dialers when i worked at a radio shack, that was back when the documentation wasnt marketing. It had all kinds of warnings about not using it to dial emergency services without professional installation, keep it on backup power sources, have an alternate method for emergency contact outward, etc. I much preferred that to todays focus on helmet wearing window licking ease of installation, one button setup, and no way of knowing if it works til grandmas hip is broke at the bottom of the stairs
