Gave this to the parents; they loved it. Immediately effective in stopping those annoying 3rd party calls.
I told him that it didn't make any tones as described in the manual. No offer was made to send it back only to go to the dealer with it. I called the support number for the manufacturer. The unit came dead on arrival. They should take this item off the market. OK, now I get the tone. It was determined that it indeed arrived DOA. I called again and spoke to someone else.
Only 2 volts from the required 3 volts. End of conversation. It doesn't do anything but make a tone when you pick up your phone. I opened it up and tested the battery. He was very unresponsive and said if telemarketers weren't calling it must be working. Well the calls kept coming in. Off I go to put in another 6 dollars for a battery. Calls keep coming in, the thing is a dust collector.Maybe people will read this and save money and frustration.
This device is simple to hook up but the technology is outdated. Anonymous calls are NOT blocked out and telemarketers have new dialing technology.It does emit a series of tones when an an unidentified call comes in but has little effect.
I received in the time promised and it works great. Great product and seller.
uses a CR2030 battery. I recently purchased a Panasonic Phone/Fax/Copier model KX-FG6550 and the Telezapper does not work with this phone set. The smaller, slender model (the picture will fool you, it's really small.). I have owned two different Telezappers and have been pleased with them. I think it has to do with the cordless phone not being integrated with the base unit. No problems, worked great.
This phone set had a cordless phone integrated on a fax/copier.
Also, the larger model (the one with the cord) emits only the first tone of the SIT.
This phone set has a "base unit" with copy and fax, and the phone is a separate unit, plugged into an electrical outlet, operating on a "wireless" from the base.
The larger model uses an electric cord.
The telezapper "tone" is delayed to the point where it is ineffective.
The smaller model (the one with the battery) gives you a choice of either the first tone of the SIT or the entire 3 note sequence, which is more effective.
I previously used both models on a Panasonic Phone/Fax/Copier model KX-FPC95.
If you purchase phones of different brands, but similar to this type unit, it may not work well with the Telezapper.
I tried to email Royal Appliances about this, but when I used their web site, I got "page not found."
