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.

Confirm your existing doorbell runs on 12–24V DC before purchasing — the transmitter won't work with other voltages. - With a guide
- Turn off power to your doorbell circuit at the breaker before starting.
- Connect the transmitter's two wires to the existing doorbell wiring at the chime or button location, following the included user manual.
- 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.
