Here are some frequently asked questions about this life changing system.
- Will using the Walgreens Ready Response™ Medical Alert System increase my telephone or
electric bill?
No, the System dials a toll-free number, so there will be no extra charges on your
phone bill when you have standard telephone service. You will also see no
noticeable increase in your electric bill.
- Can I use my phone when it is connected to the Walgreens Ready Response™
Medical Alert System?
Yes, the Walgreens Ready Response™ Medical Alert System will not affect your phone's
normal function.
- What happens if I want to change my phone service carrier?
The System operation is dependent upon compatible phone service. If you change
your telephone service at any time after the System is installed, verify System
compatibility and performance by pressing your Help Activator or the HELP Button
on the Console Unit and speak to a Response Center operator.
- Will the operator be able to hear me from everywhere in my home?
The unit is designed with a highly sensitive microphone to enhance communication
between you and the Response Center operator.
- What kinds of personal information do you keep on file?
When you subscribe, a personal profile is created in our secure database. This profile
includes medical information like allergies and impairments, and a list of people you
want us to contact if you need help. Your profile also lists your "No Voice Contact"
instructions, which indicate how you'd like us to respond in
an emergency if we cannot hear your voice.
- What happens if I am unable to speak or the operator cannot hear me?
Even if you are unable to speak, our operators know who you are, where you live,
and who to contact. The operator will follow your personalized "No Voice Contact"
instructions, which could include sending immediate medical help.
- How far away will the personal activator button work?
Range varies based on environmental factors but the activator is designed to work
up to 250 feet away from the Console Unit.
- What if I accidentally press the button on the console unit or activator?
There is no reason to worry if this occurs. You can either press the RESET button
on the Console Unit to cancel the call or inform the operator that you accidentally
activated the unit.
- Who does the monitoring?
The Walgreens Ready Response™ Medical Alert System is supported by American Medical Alert
Corporation, also known as AMAC, a U.S. provider and manufacturer of emergency
response systems and healthcare communication services. Since 1981, AMAC
has provided first-rate nationwide Response Center services to America's

- Is the center available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?

assistance anytime, day or night. You never have to worry - the Response Center
is always there for you.
- Is there a long-term contract?
