An automatic device that functions from touch tone dialing of an emergency number such as 911 or a test number to test the system, 211 as used presently. Upon dialing the desired designated emergency number, 911, the system will activate one or two visual strobe lights. (depending on how many lights the owner of the system uses.) The visual signaling strobe lights will serve as an aid in locating an emergency and reduce response time for emergencies and life and death emergencies. The system will continue to signal and function until the unit is reset for future uses, by pressing the reset button on the side of the unit. The unit does not have a telephone connected to it, but the main phone line must be connected and by dialing 911 from any extension telephone or a portable connected to the same line will recognize the tones and activate the signal.
An electronic device to signal the location of an emergency comprising:
The electronic device is adaptable and capable of functioning in locating an emergency in other functioning modes comprising;
The device can be adapted to function with cellular phones in a wired mode or a wireless mode.

1. Field of the Invention
The Electronic Locating Device, the present invention, will activate a flashing strobe light or any other significant light after dialing 911 or any other programmed emergency numbers, to indicate the location of an emergency in residential or business locations. The unit is designed to have special programmed number to be used such as in a motel, the number 9 usually has to be dialed to get an outside line and with this unit an extra 9 can be programed which the user will dial 9911 and the unit will activate and indicate the room location of the emergency. For residential use the mergency number 911 will will be used. The unit will activate the strobe light from any phone that is connected to the same line as the ELD unit. For example, if an emergency happens outside of residence or building and 911 is dialed from a portable phone connected to the same line as the ELD unit, then the strobe will be activated to indicate location of emergency.
