How hard is it to push the button? I'm disabled and pager systems are too hard to push. Looking to use to call for my aide in next room.

As long as you have a little strength in your hands and fingers the button is fairly easy to push.

The button is very easy to push and I was thrilled with the set until one receiver died after 6 months but it may be a battery problem which still should not have happened. Probably just my bad luck.

It's not hard at all, you do have to push and hold to get the signal to go off. As for distance, I was able to hear it from down my hall.

Scott, it's been about a year since I bought mine. I do remember it is a bit confusing to set. I don't know where my original instructions for setting it are. The last time I changed it I just started pressing buttons until I figured out what was happening. I work with computers as a career, so it wasn't too difficult for me. If I can try to do something to help you, let me know.

This button does take a little pressure to push but I would not call it hard. Also the button has a slight click that you can feel when it has been made. If it works when you test it it should work for deliveries.

You just keep moving it. Once you press the button on the side it wil pulse as long as you make contact. It's easy to operate! Hope this helps.

If you push the lock button it resets the unit and it allows another set of numbers to be dialed in. You get 3 attempts I believe before the unit will sound an alarm for those in the house to know that there is a probable attempt of j authorized attempt. If it is a party one would think that there would be the owners and others inside so any 'smart' visitor would have to try the regular way when visiting someone which is to push the door bell button. For party cases the best approach would be to lift the cover and disable the 60 sec auto lock feature.

It's actually 2 buttons. You hit the memory button + then the number associated with the person you want to call. ie. 1, 2 , 3 etc.

Not really. The button works two ways - you can "pulse" it with a quick press, or press a little deeper and it'll lock in the "on" position.

Its not as easy as without a cover, definately harder to push, but I wouldnt consider it excessively hard, especially when the silicone breaks in a little bit. I find the stiffer buttons handy to avoid pocket dialing, volume changes, etc. Id say power button is stiffer than the volume buttons.

Yes, I stand corrected!!! I must not have been pressing or moving the button far enough!!!! Thanks for the follow up!!!!

Be careful then--we've had issues with this quite a few times because if it's not pushed in the very middle, it might not set off alarm!!! I finally colored in the middle of the alarm to show where the alarm needed to be3 pressed which helps somewhat--it's almost a matter of feel to a certain extent! I'm sorry, because it's a good basic system but without hand strength, I'm not sure you can count on it.

Absolutely! The only reason you might want someone to push the button downstairs would be to respond and let you know they heard you. Ours are set up near an open stairs. Dad is downstairs watching TV and we're upstairs calling him for supper, etc. I can hear him respond without him pushing the button to respond via the intercom. We've learned to push the call button several times before speaking so Dad's awake or "ready to listen" to what we're telling him.

Maybe. The bell is nice and loud. The button is meant to stick to a wall but good challenge. There is a pager system that has a button for the person to push and you can move the ringer with you. About the same price.

Wow, thanks for the post. For me less buttons is good. LOL. I may have to start saving for this one. Can you give another quick comment on how easy it is to use?Thanks a lot Thomas.Lamar

I would say very easy. The only thing is, is that you have to press it directly on the center of the button, otherwise it does not page.

I just press the up button. So far I have no problem. Give it a minute to get started, and keep your finger on the up arrow.

If I remember correctly, this is one of those buttons you push and hold until it comes on. You can't just tap it over to the on position. I don't have it in front of me to check so if this doesn't work, ask again on Amazon so the question pops again and I'll check
