if I use it to call 911 and I can speak, do I speak to the 911 operator or does it only play a recorded message?

It is a recorded message to 911, then they can speak to you through the receiver. My mother in law fell and she pushed her button it went to 911 she could hear them but they could not hear her over the TV. They showed up so I call that success. The pendant does not receive or send audio

You have to hook it up to a landline and it will auto dial up to 6 numbers I believe and play a 15 second message that you record.

Yes, it sends outbound calls from the land line you connect it to. It would be the same as someone picking up the phone and making a call. If you were referring to the inbound call from this device, the answering machine will pick up and the device will deliver the message but since no one is responding it will hang up and call the next programmed number. It continues to do this until someone acknowledges the message by keying in one of two sequences (*0 to disable system or # to acknowledge and keep the system active so it will call again in 30 minutes if the alarm situation is still present).

It doesn't have an audible signal. There is a visual display on all handsets that indicate there is a message waiting. In addition, you can play the message on any of the handsets.

You do not hear your recorded message, but you do hear the caller's message to you.

I am not sure I got this recorder, although it is what I ordered. The one I got does not record. It has a radio. It does not have a red button. I would like a phone # to talk to someone about this in person, as I have gotten no response to comments made on the computer.

I'm never home to hear the message being recorded. I think there's a message to the caller, and then hang up mode if that helps.

Wish I could help you out. I sure am not a technician ! When I have a message, I press the bottom of the round dial ( like the 6 o'clock position) and it plays the message. I am connected to Comcast, and if the phone is in use when a message comes in, the light blinks, and I pick up the receiver , punch *99, and then the green talk button, and I can hear the message that was left thru Comcast while my phone was in use.You may want to call customer service at VTECH

After announcing "This is an Emergency Call", the Freedom Alert program asks the call receiver (person or machine) to press the number 5 on their phone or it will call the next number on the list. Obviously, the phone answering machine cannot press the #5, so the Freedom Alert calls the next number. Your answering machine will record the "Please press number 5" message, so even later on when you get the message, you your family member or friend was in trouble.

It all depends on how you set up the phone. My advice is to ignore any attempt to program the panic button to any number except 911. Once you press the button (the big one) there will be a warning tone (in case you didn't intend to dial.) Then it will dial the first number programmed and continue dialing a list of numbers until it gets an answer. That answer could be an answering machine or voice mail. If 911 is the ONLY number programmed, that is what you will get.

That is optional. In case of emergency you would push the button to dial 911.

You can record any voice to answer. Also, the announced caller is a great feature, but it is the robotic voice. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure about that, it is voice activated but I don't think it records.

I use the button as a signal to alert the person I want to talk to. They may not be close to their unit. I have not tried the voice activation.

This item plugs into a voice recorder. It is an earpiece microphone. It itself does not do the recording. Therefore, you will listen to the recording through whichever voice recorder you have, not this device.

You must give the app Microphone access in your System Settings. It uses the mic to receive status information from the toy.

It does operates by voice activated calling. It has notified me by phone number not person's name.
