What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This is the central receiver/display unit in Bellman & Symfon's modular home alerting system, designed to wake people who are hard of hearing or Deaf through a combination of loud sound, bright flashing light, and a bed shaker that plugs in underneath your mattress. It shows the current time and receives wireless signals from separately purchased Bellman transmitters — doorbells, phone ringers, smoke detectors, and baby monitors — so you can see and feel which event is happening, color-coded by alert type. The unit sits on your nightstand and gives you a single hub that handles both your morning wake-up alarm and all-day household notifications. This is not a standalone product: you need at least one compatible Bellman transmitter to actually receive alerts beyond the built-in alarm, and the full-home coverage most people want requires purchasing several transmitters separately.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
- Plug in the receiver unit and set the time and alarm using the large buttons on the face.
- Connect the included bed shaker to the jack on the unit and place it under your mattress.
- Built-in alarm with light flash and bed shaker works right away without any transmitters.
- With a guide
- Pair each Bellman transmitter (doorbell, phone, etc.) to the receiver following the pairing instructions in the manual — typically a button-hold sequence on each device.
- Place transmitters near their respective alert sources and verify each triggers the correct color-coded flash on the receiver.
- Allow 30–60 minutes total for pairing multiple transmitters. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
