Can Mom and Dad communicate with each other, if he/she is upstairs and the other downstairs?

The way the device works is if the button on the pendant is pressed, the phone calls a preprogrammed number. The person who is called can communicate through the phone, with the person who pressed the button only if the person who pressed the button is close to the phone. So one way this could work for you is to have the device upstairs and program a cell phone number that you can answer downstairs.

The voice activation can only be used to answer a call. It cannot be used to initiate a call. You would have to use it in monitor mode which drains the battery rapidly. Also, if you parent tends to make sounds it can be a bit disturbing to be continuously listening to them.

yes you can. i have my base connected by its self and the fax machine connected by its self--if the answering machine picks up -but a data tone is being sentthe fax is set to pickup the data tone.you can connect both togetheryou may need to do some adjusting according to the instructions and your preference.

No, I don't think so; I didn't see a menu option for that. The system appears to be designed around the concept of a different ring tone for the various callers. I really like that because I always know if a family member is calling.

Yes. That may not be exactly what you're looking for, though - if the receiver and PC are too close to each other, then they might both get the signal, and carry out conflicting or duplicate commands.

Yes. You can be connected to the phone and still have intercom as long as you aren't listening to music or talking on the phone. Once you listen to music or answer the phone it blocks out the other person. You also can't have all three on intercom at the same time and they are a pain to switch back and forth.If you are just using 2 to talk back and forth they are great, also the range on them is really far.

These units are essentially 2 way radios. There is a simple procedure to allow them to recognize each other that is well documented in the instructions. After that, you just press a button to talk, and that's it.

yes, you just push the side button and hold it down to talk.then release it to hear the other person talk.

Only one person can talk at a time but both the other units will hear. The way they work, when the button is depressed it is in transmit mode and when released it goes into receive mode. So if two people are pressing the buttons at the same time they will not be able to hear what the others are saying.

Yes. They can be in two different spaces in the room, or in separate rooms. However, you would need a separate control for each.

Yes. You should be able to, by putting each set that needs to talk to each other on different channels.

Sort of. You could setup a shared line appearance and they'd both ring at the same time. A lot of this depends on which VOIP system you're using, as this would be a feature of the system.

The push-to-talk button might be a bit hard for little hands to use one-handed - if they are happy using two it might be ok. You can lock out channel changes so that shouldn't be a problem.

The room unit will talk to any other room unit that's not on mute. However, you will need the master unit in order for all units to communicate.

I don't think so, but am not sure. If your father is not visually impaired, you could probably get him a more sophisticated system. The advantage to this one is I can put my mother's schedule in when I visit and then all she does is press a button to find out what she has for that day.

The phone can be answered by either the touch screen on the front or open up and hit OK button to answer. If your Dad is anything like my mom I probably would not recommend this phone as the touch screen locks itself to prevent butt dialing and so you have to unlock before you can answer it. If you open up the phone to answer you can set it to automatically be on speaker which is great for anyone with hearing aids. I love the keyboard for texting which is the main reason I've held out so long in upgrading to the new tech savvy phones.

Yes. This doorbell served it purpose for me. My mother is elderly and sometimes she may fall so the best way to keep in touch was the doorbell. I have a bell next door and my son has one in his room at the same residence as my mother. So I think it is possible to have one inside and out but the ring is loud. Hope this has helped.
