Thank you for choosing Smart AlertSystem.  
See, hear and feel household alerts  
You’ve made a great choice: Smart Alert System provides  
you with independence and peace of mind around your  
home, around the clock – even when you’re sleeping. It’s  
an all-in-one hearing and alerting system that brings together  
your household alerts with your hearing solution, so you’ll  
always be aware of important household signals – phone  
calls, doorbells, smoke alarms and more.  
Smart Alert System improves your awareness of household  
signals by integrating three technologies:  
Telephone detector, doorbell detector and smoke detector  
along with a bed shaker  
• Smart Alert remote (the same remote used for your  
hearing instrument functions)  
In addition, your new Smart Alert remote is the same remote  
control you’ll use for your hearing instrument functions,  
like volume control, program changes and more – your hearing  
and alerting controls are now combined into one very smart  
and very easy to use remote.  
• Your hearing instruments  
When a household alert sounds, you will see an LED icon  
light up on your remote, feel the remote vibrate and hear  
a beep in your hearing instruments.  
This guide will help you set up and use your system so  
you can start enjoying the benefits today.  
At night, while you are sleeping without hearing instruments,  
the remote is in its nightstand charger, and together with  
the bed shaker, instantly delivers alerts to let you know  
a detector has been activated.

What it does  
Smart Alert  
Your Smart Alert remote is the communications hub of your system. It acts as a  
receiver of signals from the detectors, as well as sends signals to your hearing  
instruments and activates bed shaker. It, itself, is an alerting device: LED lights  
and vibration make you aware of a detector going off in the household.

(If this does not work as described,  
please see troubleshooting section).  
• Confirm that the remote remains  
within smoke detector’s coverage area:  
have someone else press the test  
button on the smoke detector when  
the system is on, while you move as  
far away from the detector with your  
remote as possible. If your remote  
activates, you are within range.  
If it does not, you’ll know the remote  
is too far away from the detector to  
pick up its signals.  
1. Attach mounting bracket (5) then  
install smoke detector by turning  
counter-clockwise. Insert 9V battery  
by connecting the battery contacts.  
Placement of smoke detector:  
follow these guidelines as closely  
as your home permits:  
• Place detector near or in place  
of current smoke alarm/detector,  
if possible at least 20 in/50 cm from  
any wall. If bedrooms are located  
in different areas of the house,  
it is recommended to install smoke  
detectors outside each bedroom.  
2. Wait about 10 seconds while  
the smoke detector carries out  
a self-test. The self-test is finished  
when LED (1) flashes once.  
3. Extend antenna (2) so that it points  
down (fully extended outward). Hold  
down test button (1). After several  
seconds, the smoke detector will  
sound a shrill alarm and transmit a  
signal to your remote. The red LED  
smoke icon will illuminate on your  
remote, and your remote will vibrate.  
An urgent beep alert will sound  
in your hearing instruments.  
• Avoid installing detectors in kitchens,  
by fireplaces or in garages, as cooking,  
controlled fires and car exhaust may  
cause detectors to activate.  
• At least one smoke detector  
should be installed on each floor  
of a multi-storey dwelling.  
• Do not install detectors in damp spaces  
or close to fans.  
• The antenna (2) should be straight  
and pointed directly down (or fully  
extended outward if the smoke  
detector is mounted on a side wall)  
to achieve the best coverage and  
communication between detectors  
and the remote.  
• Never paint over smoke detectors.

What it is  
Bed shaker  
The bed shaker is placed between mattress and box spring of your bed. When  
connected to the nightstand (with remote placed in charger), it provides a motion  
alert at night if one of your detectors should go off. This helps ensure that you are  
made aware of important alerts even when you are sleeping and your hearing  
instruments are not in use.  
What you need to do: connect to charger, place and test  
• Connect the bed shaker to a power supply by inserting supplied connector  
into indicated output on the charger.  
• Place the remote in the charger.  
• Press test button on any of the detectors, and check that bed shaker vibrates.  
(If it does not, please refer to the troubleshooting section).  
IMPORTANT NOTE! Your remote must be placed in the charger for the bed shaker  
to be activated by an alert. The charger must be connected to a power supply or must  
have sufficient charge, as indicated by the LED light located on the charger.

Additional Bellman & Symfon detectors  
In addition to the detectors that come with your Smart Alert System, Bellman & Symfon offers a wide variety of alerting  
products, including baby monitors, which may be added to your Smart Alert System. Talk to your hearing healthcare  
professional for more information about customizing the system to meet your needs.  
When you receive your Smart Alert System, it is set to a default “radio key”  
and ready to use with no further set-up required. However, in the event that  
you have a neighbor with a similar system, you may need to change the  
radio key to avoid interference. This can be done very easily using the radio  
key switch on each detector. All detectors must be set to the same radio key.  
After changing the radio key on each detector you will need to pair your  
Smart Alert remote with detectors, as described on the following pages.

the LED will illuminate yellow. You  
can try to train for the sound again  
by repeating steps 1 to 6. If it still  
does not work, the doorbell has a  
sound that the doorbell detector  
cannot analyze.

Disabling the magnetic detection on  
the doorbell detector  
If the doorbell is mechanical and  
therefore does not emit an  
electromagnetic field, the internal  
electromagnetic coil inside the detector  
can be disabled using the function  
switch inside the battery compartment.  
TIPS  
You can train your doorbell detector  
to differentiate between up to 2  
doorbells, provided that each  
sounds different. Your remote will  
then send you different signals for  
each so you’ll know which door  
needs answering. To train the  
doorbell detector for a second  
doorbell signal, repeat steps 1 to  
8 with a different internal  
The function switch #1 controls the  
electromagnetic sensor. It can be set  
so that only audio doorbell signals  
can be detected. This is useful if an  
electromagnetic field from an inductive  
loop system or transformer, etc. activates  
the doorbell detector.

Some sounds are difficult to analyze  
and therefore difficult to detect  
afterwards. Always check to ensure  
that the doorbell detector is

NOTE! For any problems not  
referenced in this troubleshooting  
guide, please contact your hearing  
healthcare professional. If you do not  
have a hearing healthcare professional,  
please contact the nearest office listed  
on the back page of this booklet.  
TIP  
When any of your non-urgent  
detectors are activated, the LED  
on the detector will illuminate in  
green, indicating the battery is in  
good condition. If the LED  
illuminates in yellow, the detector’s  
battery is low and should be  
changed. On the smoke detector,  
the red LED light will flash  
approximately one time per minute  
when the battery is fully functional.  
Should the battery become low,  
the smoke detector will sound an  
advisory signal about once per  
minute. If it becomes completely  
depleted, the detector will briefly  
sound a smoke alarm until the  
battery is replaced or completely flat.

modern components to provide an  
extremely reliable experience with  
virtually no interference from other  
devices. However, when operating  
Smart Alert remote near a computer  
terminal, communication devices such  
as a digital cell phone, or other strong  
electromagnetic field, it may be  
necessary to be at least 24 inches  
(60 cm) away to ensure proper  
operation.  
If your hearing instruments do not  
respond to Smart Alert remote  
because of an unusual field  
disturbance, move away from the  
disturbing field.
