Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The bundle has several parts that must be placed, connected, and paired with the wearable receiver. A family member can do this with the printed or online instructions in under an hour. It is not a one-step product, so it fits guided setup rather than self-serve. An audiologist or deaf-blind specialist can help choose extra alerts but is not needed for basic use.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The CA-380 is a bundle that tells someone about sounds in the home through touch, loud tones, and bright flashing lights. The wearable receiver has braille buttons, strong vibration, and a loud tone, so it works for people who are deaf-blind. The package also includes a bed shaker, a doorbell signaler, and a ringer/flasher that connects to a home or cell phone line. These pieces send alerts to the wearable from up to 150 feet away. The receiver has a rechargeable battery and comes with an AC adapter. It can also pair with other transmitters in Serene's CentralAlert line if you want to add alerts later.

What setup looks like

  • With a guide
    1. Charge the wearable receiver with the included AC adapter before first use.
    2. Place the doorbell signaler and the phone ringer/flasher where they can pick up their sounds, and put the bed shaker under the mattress or pillow.
    3. Pair the wearable receiver with each transmitter and test every alert, so you know which vibration or tone means what. Plan about 30 to 45 minutes.
