Setup with instructions The core kit can be set up by the user following included instructions — plug in, connect phone cable, position bed vibrator. Pairing additional transmitters requires reading documentation but is well within reach of a family member or motivated user in under an hour. No professional assessment is needed, but it's more than a plug-and-play device, making guided_setup the right tier.

What it is

Summary

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

This kit converts household alerts — doorbells, phone calls, smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, and more — into flashing strobe light signals and bed vibration, so someone who can't hear auditory alerts still gets notified. It's designed for people who are deaf or hard of hearing and want whole-home coverage from a single receiver unit, including while sleeping. The kit includes the Sidekick II receiver with built-in strobe, a bed vibrator, telephone cable, and backup battery, so it's a fairly complete starting point — though expanding coverage to other rooms or additional transmitter types requires purchasing those transmitters separately. One important thing to know: this system uses 418MHz proprietary wireless transmitters, meaning you're locked into Silent Call's own ecosystem if you want to add sensors later.

What Setup Looks Like

  • Out of the box
    1. Place the receiver unit on a nightstand or flat surface and plug into a standard 110V outlet.
    2. Connect the included telephone cable to your landline phone for call alerts.
    3. Slide the bed vibrator under your mattress and plug the pin jack into the receiver.
  • With a guide
    1. Review the included documentation to pair any additional Silent Call Signature Series transmitters (doorbell, smoke detector, etc.) with the receiver.
    2. Set the digital clock and alarm using the receiver controls.
    3. Test each alert type to confirm strobe and vibrator activate correctly — allow 30–60 minutes total. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
