It also flashes red, and has a lighted screen, so even in the dark we can see what is going on.
Honestly, I wish we would have done this a long time ago. It is so freeing because now Charlie is staying "in range" to keep his wrist tag from beeping. He comes back into range after he has beeped. It is just wonderful. I find that when he beeps when we are out I look at the machine first because it tells me exactly what direction to start looking in. It is hard to find a kid in a store or a sea of people, you look in a circle and can't see anyone, but this thing points me to him and it has not been wrong so far.
With a child like Charlie, it could save his life. Also, I don't know if I mentioned it, but they gave me a 21% discount on it for having a child with autism. So that was nice. I am still praying that God will pay it off before the bill comes.
Oh one more thing, I didn't have time before our trip to order the shoe ID things, so I am making some. Thanks for the wonderful idea. I am putting it on his shirt though, because he takes off his shoes all the time.
