Uo len \ “x A y \ is SENSE’ ij Helping Help Find You (NAPSA)—In an emergency, the only thing more important than knowing whatto do is knowing that help knows whereto find you. Emergency wireless phone identifies caller’s location. Research showsthat up to half of the 42,000 Americans who die annually in car crashes could be saved if emergency help could reach them sooner. This life-saving fact is not lost on consumers. A recent Harris Interactive poll found that the number one cell phone feature desired by Americansis the ability to be located in an emergency. Currently, 911 operators can not determine theorigin of a wireless call. There is now a newtypeof wireless phone called the Magnovox: MobilePAL**** that can locate callers. It is the country’s first emergency wireless phone and service that uses global positioning satellite (GPS) technology to provide caller-location anywherein the country. Users press a large, red CALL button—instead of a dial pad—to reach the Personal Assistance Link (PAL) monitoring center. There, a highly trained personal assistant can activate the phone’s GPSfeature. In seconds, the assis- tant can pinpoint the caller’s location within 30 feet and notify the nearest emergency services (police, ambulance, roadside assistance, etc.). The phonealso hasa built-in, 95-decibel siren for added security and runson alkaline batteries that never need recharging. For more information, visit www.remotemdx.com or call 1800-584-4176.
