Included is an adapter that allows any ability switch (i.e., head switch, sip/puff switch, chin activated switch, etc.) to be connected for "wake up" activation of the system. The system operates with single, customizable commands and offers auditory feedback of all commands. The system also offers remote access and enables telephone calls to be placed and answered up to 500 feet from the base station. The package includes the COMMUNICATOR wireless headset, the base station, and the POWERHOUSE ROOMATE PLUS control unit which handles all voice dialing commands, X10/Infrared, and voice commands.
