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

Setup with instructions The transmitter itself connects quickly with no programming, but it only functions as part of a larger Silent Call Signature Series alerting ecosystem. Users need to already own or simultaneously acquire compatible receivers. Pairing and system testing benefit from following the product manual, making this guided setup rather than self-serve.

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.
