What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026

The CA-380 is a whole-home alerting kit designed specifically for people who are deaf-blind, delivering notifications through strong vibration, loud audio tones, and bright flashing lights simultaneously — so users can choose whichever channel they can detect. The bundled package includes a wearable pager-style receiver with braille-labeled buttons, a bed shaker, a doorbell transmitter, and a phone ringer/flasher that works with both landlines and cell phones. This is a reasonably complete starter system out of the box, but it's designed to expand — the wearable receiver can pair with additional CentralAlert transmitters for smoke alarms, doorbells, baby monitors, and more. This is a dedicated receiver system tied to the Serene CentralAlert ecosystem, so adding more alert types means purchasing compatible Serene transmitters specifically.

    1. Insert the bed shaker under the mattress and plug it in.
    2. Charge the wearable receiver (CA-PX) using the included AC adapter.
    3. Press activation button on the doorbell transmitter and wearable receiver to pair them — alert types are indicated by braille-labeled buttons on the receiver.
  • With a guide
    1. Connect the phone ringer/flasher (CA-CX) to your landline or near your cell phone following the included instructions.
    2. Pair each transmitter to the wearable receiver one at a time per the pairing steps in the manual.
