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

Setup with instructions The unit is simple, but it works well only after a few things are set up. The sensitivity wheel has to be adjusted for the phone, the flash patterns have to be learned, and the cell phone has to stay on the cradle. The user guide and a family member's help are enough for most people, so guided setup fits. No professional is needed.

What it is

Summary

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

The RF-200 is a small desktop signaler that flashes a light when your phone rings or a text arrives. For a cell phone, you set the phone on its cradle and it senses the vibration; for a landline, it works through the included phone cord. Different flashing patterns tell you whether it's a call or a message, and an indicator light stays on to show missed calls or messages. It can also flash for Wireless Emergency Alerts if your carrier sends them, and it has a jack for a bed shaker (sold separately) if you want a vibrating alert at night. It's a good fit for someone who can't count on hearing a ringer. Since the cell phone must sit on the cradle to be detected, it only works while the phone is parked there.

What setup looks like

  • With a guide
    1. Plug in the AC adapter, and add 4 AA batteries if you want backup power during an outage.
    2. For a landline, connect the phone cord. For a cell phone, set it on the cradle and adjust the sensitivity wheel until the unit flashes reliably when the phone vibrates.
    3. Test with a call and a text to learn the flashing patterns, and set the ringer tone to Hi, Lo, or Off. Plan on about 20 to 30 minutes.
