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

Setup with instructions The transmitter connects to existing doorbell wiring, which requires turning off a breaker and making a basic two-wire connection — straightforward for someone comfortable with simple electrical tasks, but the user manual is needed to do it correctly. Pairing with a Medallion receiver adds a second step. A handy person could complete this in under an hour with the documentation, making guided setup appropriate rather than self-serve (which requires no other devices) or professional guidance recommended.

What it is

Summary

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

This transmitter wires directly into your existing doorbell circuit and sends a wireless radio signal to compatible receivers whenever someone presses the doorbell button — no batteries needed since it draws power from the doorbell wiring itself. It's designed for people with hearing loss who can't rely on a standard audible chime, allowing them to be notified through flashing lights, vibrating pagers, or other alert devices in the Silent Call Medallion Series. This is one piece of a larger alerting system — you'll also need at least one Medallion Series receiver (sold separately) to actually be notified, whether that's a lamp flasher, a bed shaker, or a strobe unit. The million-code RF technology is a genuine advantage in multi-unit housing like apartments or dorms, where interference from neighbors' similar systems is a real problem with cheaper alternatives.

What Setup Looks Like

  • Out of the box
    Confirm your existing doorbell runs on 12–24V DC before purchasing — the transmitter won't work with other voltages.
  • With a guide
    1. Turn off power to your doorbell circuit at the breaker before starting.
    2. Connect the transmitter's two wires to the existing doorbell wiring at the chime or button location, following the included user manual.
    3. Restore power and pair with your Medallion Series receiver(s) per the receiver's pairing instructions — allow 30–60 minutes total. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
