Ensuring reliable communication in critical situations is paramount, and CallTou’s products offer a practical solution. A recent review highlights both the strengths and areas for improvement in our pager and call button system. Here’s a closer look at the user’s experience and insights.

Battery Considerations: Essential but Manageable

CallTou’s system relies on three battery types: AAA for the pager, CR2032 for the watch, and 12V 23A for the call button pendants. While this ensures independent functionality, maintaining different batteries can be a challenge. Two small screwdrivers are included for battery replacement, though their tiny size may be difficult for users with limited dexterity. An alternative tool or pre-installed batteries could improve ease of use.

Practical and Reliable Performance

Though made of plastic, the CallTou system is simple and effective. The tactile buttons are easy to press, and the pager features two alert sounds—siren and doorbell—along with a vibration setting. The volume is loud enough to grab attention, while the display identifies which call button was pressed. The included lanyards fit comfortably around the neck for convenient access.

Expandability: Enhanced Coverage

A key advantage of the system is its ability to expand. The reviewer successfully connected three pagers, two watches, and five call button pendants on the same network. This setup ensures that all pagers alert when a button is pressed, making it ideal for larger households or multiple caregivers.

Final Thoughts: A Worthwhile Safety Measure

Despite minor concerns about battery maintenance and plastic materials, the system is a practical safety solution. Its expandability, clear notifications, and ease of use make it a valuable precautionary tool for caregivers and families.
