Alerting Systems

Useful Terms

Alerting system

A group of compatible transmitters, receivers, and accessories that work together to make important events easier to notice.

Transmitter / sensor

The part of a system that detects an event or receives a signal, such as a doorbell press, phone call, smoke alarm, or baby sound.

Receiver

The part of a system that alerts you to the event. Depending on the receiver, the alert can be light, sound, vibration, or a message.

Bed shaker

A vibrating accessory placed under a pillow or mattress to provide a tactile alert, especially at night.

FAQs

What is the difference between a transmitter and a receiver?

A transmitter detects an event or receives a signal. A receiver lets you know that event occurred through light, sound, vibration, or a display.

Which receiver is right for me?

Choose the alert method that is easiest for you to notice: flashing light, a portable receiver with sound or vibration, a bedside receiver, or a wearable receiver. You can use more than one receiver in different rooms.

Can I use more than one transmitter or receiver?

Yes. A system can be expanded with compatible transmitters for the events you want to monitor and compatible receivers where you want alerts. Check the product page or manual before combining products.

Will the system work throughout my home?

Range depends on the specific products, the layout of your home, walls and floors, and nearby electronics. Check the product specifications and test placement in the rooms where you need alerts.

Hearing Amplifiers

Useful Terms

Personal amplifier

A portable device that picks up sound with a microphone and sends it to headphones, earbuds, a neck loop, or another listening accessory.

External microphone

A separate microphone that can be positioned closer to the person or sound source you want to hear.

Neck loop

An accessory that transmits sound to compatible hearing devices with a telecoil. Confirm compatibility with your hearing-device manufacturer or provider.

Telecoil (T-coil)

A feature found in some hearing devices that can receive sound from a compatible neck loop or loop system.

FAQs

What is a personal amplifier?

A personal amplifier is designed to make nearby speech or selected sound sources easier to hear in everyday listening situations. It is not a substitute for professional hearing care or medical advice.

Is a personal amplifier the same as a hearing aid?

No. A personal amplifier supports selected listening situations, while hearing aids are regulated medical devices fitted to an individual’s hearing needs. A hearing-care professional can help you decide what is appropriate for you.

How do I choose a listening accessory?

Start with comfort and how you plan to listen. Headphones, earbuds, stetoclips, and neck loops each serve different preferences and compatibility needs.

When should I speak with a hearing-care professional?

Contact a hearing-care professional if you notice a change in hearing, have ongoing difficulty understanding speech, experience sudden hearing changes, or want advice about hearing aids or other hearing care. A personal amplifier does not replace professional assessment or treatment.

Alarm Clocks

Useful Terms

Multi-sensory alarm

An alarm that can use sound, light, vibration, or a combination of these cues.

Bed shaker

A vibrating unit placed under a pillow or mattress to provide a tactile wake-up cue.

Alarm clock receiver

A bedside receiver that can alert you to compatible Bellman events as well as provide alarm-clock functions.

Backup battery

Battery support intended to help maintain alarm operation during a power interruption. Check the individual product instructions for its exact behavior.

FAQs

What makes a Bellman alarm clock different from a standard alarm clock?

Bellman alarm clocks can provide more than one wake-up cue, such as sound, flashing light, and vibration, so you can use the signals that work best for you.

How does the bed shaker work?

The bed shaker is placed under a pillow or mattress and vibrates when the alarm sounds. The feel can vary with placement and bedding, so try the position that is most noticeable and comfortable for you.

Can the alarm clock alert me to other events?

Some alarm-clock receivers can also work with compatible Bellman alerting products. Check the product page or manual to confirm which events and products are supported.

What happens during a power interruption?

Some models include battery backup, but its exact function and duration vary by product. Review the product manual and test the alarm after setup so you understand how your model responds to a power interruption.
