Signalers & Monitoring Systems
Signaling devices tend to have two parts: the transmitter and the receiver. The transmitter identifies the desired noise (phone ring, doorbell ring, etc.) and sends a signal to a receiver that notifies the user. The receiver may be worn or carried, or connected to a lamp. The receiver will notify the user of a sound through vibrations or flashing lights.
