WORKS WITH OUR ALARM SYSTEM Panic "emergency buttons" are extremely important! They serve each member of your family all over the home. In an emergency, push the Panic button, holding it down for 4 seconds. It will send a RF (radio frequency) signal to the alarm system. Your system will activate just the same as if someone had broken in. All Panic buttons are wireless, battery operated, and mountable to almost any surface. Get one for the most frequent rooms in you home. Also great for those with medical conditions.
