Daytech Caregiver Pager with 2 Call Buttons, 2 Receivers and Vibration Alerts

Some care routines call for a way to request help without shouting, others need a caregiver to hear or feel an alert from another room. The Daytech wireless caregiver pager pairs two red call buttons with two receivers. Its combination of a portable vibrating receiver and a plug-in receiver supports different ways of staying aware at home.

Key takeaways

Pressing a call button sends an alert to the paired receivers, giving someone who needs assistance a simple way to reach a caregiver. The button’s LED lights up to confirm the alert has been sent. Keep a button close at hand with its lanyard, or mount it nearby with the included double-sided tape, such as beside a bed or near a bathroom.

The portable receiver can be carried in a pocket or secured to a belt. Its vibration mode can alert the caregiver when the receiver is muted, while the plug-in receiver provides a fixed listening point in the home. Five adjustable volume levels range from silent to 110 dB, and the system offers 55 ringtones. Buyers often highlight the system’s ease of use, practical assistance function and audible alerts.

Tips for day-to-day use

Place the call buttons where they can be reached from the locations where help may be needed, then keep the portable receiver with the caregiver during household tasks. A bedside button, for example, gives someone a direct way to signal while the caregiver is elsewhere, the portable receiver’s vibration setting offers another alert method when sound is muted. The plug-in receiver can stay in a regular listening area so an alert is also available there.

The system has a stated range of up to 500 ft (150 m) in open spaces. Actual placement around the home can affect how the signal reaches a receiver, so position the units with their everyday locations in mind. The call buttons are IP55 splash-resistant for use in areas such as a shower, but they should not be immersed in water. The buttons use a 12V 23A alkaline battery.

Who it’s for

This two-button, two-receiver set is suited to households supporting an older adult or someone who may need assistance while a caregiver moves between rooms. Two buttons allow calls to be placed from separate locations, while the portable and plug-in receivers give the caregiver a choice of where and how to receive alerts. It can also suit home care for a patient or a person with a disability, where a simple press is more practical than calling out.

Compared with relying on one fixed listening point, the portable receiver adds the option of carrying an alert around the home. The system is also expandable: a transmitter can be paired with up to 20 receivers, and each receiver can be paired with up to 55 call buttons.

Questions before you buy

How does someone request assistance? They press one of the paired call buttons. Its LED lights up to confirm the alert has been sent, and the receivers provide the alert.

Can the call button be used in a shower area? The button is rated IP55 and is described as splash-resistant, so it can be installed in a shower area. Do not fully immerse it in water.

What alert options do the receivers offer? The system has 55 ringtones and five adjustable volume levels, from silent to 110 dB. The portable receiver also has vibration mode, including when its sound is muted.

When it makes sense

It makes sense if a household needs a straightforward way to call for help from more than one spot and wants the caregiver to have both a portable and a plug-in receiver. The paired buttons, audible and vibration alerts, and flexible placement make this Daytech pager a practical fit for everyday home care.
