Index Number: 15223 I started to tell you about the C\Echo alarm system. It's like a small hand held radio with a pushbutton and a ripcord. It weighs seven lunces or two hundred grams. It's yellow in color and made of the type of plastic that police shields are. It cannot be stompped upon to disable it. You must remove the batteries by hand and that's a two handed job. It can be strapped to your person, a purse or bike or a wheelchair. It has velco fasteners. It emits one hundred and ten decibels for twnety minutes at a time. It can be put on wall and the ripcord put over the doorknow and if someone breaks in, it will set the thing off then too. :) It's good for people who have to go to parking lots alone etc. But it's not a replacemnnt for common sense. The nice thing about it is that it cannot be used on you like mace can. It costs forty nine ninty five from Personal Protection Systems Inc. 200 East 33rd street N.Y., N.Y. 10016 tel. 212:864:0030.
