Good question, not sure, how about if you put some sort of tape over it, tight enough that the button can't be pressed? I'd have to read the directions, which I'm sure you have.

My wife changed the 911 key to call my cell. Now the center picture and the 911 both call the same number. The other pictures are turned off. Not sure if you can turn the 911 key off.

I think it is too big to wear. We put our Mom's in the bathroom where she showers. Also, don't put 911 on it. I accidentally called the police! Otherwise a great phone for Mom.

It's important that the parents be aware when the alarm goes off and help the child. It can be stressful for them to make it stop alarming "and" get to the bathroom. If the child is older, they can learn how to disable it without too much difficulty.

Yes Barbara, the ringer does turn off. The ringer has three settings; high, low and off.

Yes, you can. If you you have your number on the dial list, it will dial you and you can turn off the alarm and listen in. The alarm will then go off if retriggered. The S02 manual which you can download gives you details on all this.

This unit only dials 911. Other, more expensive models can be programmed to dial multiple numbers.

You can lock the keys. He will have to remember to unlock the keys in order to turn the alarm off. Unless you are setting it every day, I don't think this would be the solution for your medication reminder.

Yes, you can shut it off. It will still show the missed calls and also, with our phone company system, shows how many messages you have on their system for each line.

She will only be able to "Disable it" when it calls. If she wants to cancel it, someone will have to change the "on-off" switch to "off".

Yes, the bed alarm goes off quickly. It would go off in my room, I would get up & go to my mother's room and be there just as she was sitting up. That way I could help her out of bed to use her bedside commode. I didn't have to worry about her falling in the middle of the night, and she never could understand how I knew she needed help!

nc - Yes! Ringer can be turned off; answering system can be turned off. Base and handset have independent ringers, btw.

Not at all. The numbers stay programmed in the phone. I did the same for my mother.

There is no off/on switch on the sensors but if she got creative she could trick the sensor with a magnet but you could use a motion sensor in the area of the exit and let her know that area is out of bounds or the alarm with go off.There are ways to make the system redundant.

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

yes it can, I set it up for my dad to do just that. The only problem (I wrote in another review) is the 911 button. If you push it 911 will come, ambulance and fire truck. My dad kept pushing the 911 button and had a lot of activity. Why would they put this button on a device meant for people that can't see well? I took the device apart and removed the button, taped of the hold. No more 911.

This is a great unit!!!! My mom's issuse is dementia. This helps by not letting her overdose herself. It is locked with a key so my mom can not open it. (It does comes with two keys) The unit only dispenses meds she can access at the correct time. I'd you have any other questions feel free to ask.
