What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This transmitter plugs into a standard phone line jack and wirelessly broadcasts an alert signal whenever an incoming call arrives — whether it's a voice call, TTY, or VCO (Voice Carry Over) connection. It's designed for people who are deaf or hard of hearing and rely on visual or tactile alerts instead of a ringing phone bell. The transmitter is only half of the system: it sends a 418 MHz signal to any Silent Call Signature Series receiver (sold separately), which then triggers flashing lights, bed shakers, or other visual/tactile alerting devices throughout the home. One important thing to know upfront — this transmitter won't do anything on its own without a compatible Signature Series receiver already in your setup.
