- Coverage is limited to 25 programmable counties, which may be restrictive for users who monitor a wider area.
- Emergency backup depends on 3 AA alkaline batteries, so continued operation during outages requires batteries to be installed and maintained.
- Alert style is user-selectable, but the available modes are limited to voice, display, or tone rather than more advanced notification options.
