Narration:

This emergency locator system uses FM radio waves to locate a missing person who is wearing the device. Here's how it works: if the person is missing, you call the designated authorities, usually 911, and file a missing person report. Then law enforcement or another public safety agency is dispatched. Using special equipment, they can pick up the unique signals emitted from your loved one's device – within one mile of their location. Once the person is found, the police escort him or her to safety.

Every type of locator system has advantages and limitations, which you should review before making a commitment to be sure it will work in your situation. This radio frequency locator system, in the right situation, can provide peace of mind for you, the caregiver, and help find loved ones and save lives.
