What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
The Flash Receiver is a visual alert unit that plugs into a wall outlet and produces bright xenon flashes along with color-coded LED indicators when it receives a wireless signal from a paired Bellman & Symfon Visit transmitter — letting someone who is deaf or hard of hearing know about doorbells, phone calls, smoke alarms, or other household events. It's designed for anyone with significant hearing loss who needs a reliable visual or tactile way to stay aware of what's happening around the home, day or night. This is not a standalone product — it works only as part of the Bellman & Symfon Visit system, and you'll need to purchase one or more compatible Visit transmitters separately for each event type you want monitored; an optional bed shaker (also sold separately) can plug directly into the receiver for nighttime alerts. The rotating head lets you aim the flash where it's most visible, and the built-in rechargeable battery backup keeps it running for roughly 48 hours during a power outage.

- With a guide
- Pair each Bellman & Symfon Visit transmitter (doorbell, phone, smoke detector, etc.) to the receiver following the pairing instructions in the user manual.
- Test each transmitter to confirm the receiver flashes with the correct color code for that alert type.
