General description
Part of the Bellman Visit 868 System, the Bellman telephone transmitter alerts people with hearing loss that the telephone is ringing.
Great for people with up to profound deafness, this simple telephone connects directly into your chosen phone using the connection cable and adaptor supplied. The transmitter will then alert your existing Bellman 868 receiver accessories.
Items supplied with the telephone transmitter -
1x Telephone transmitter (cable attached)
-
1 x Telephone socket adaptor
-
1 x Alcohol wipe
-
1x Screw and wall plug
-
2x AA 1.5V batteries (pre-inserted)
-
1x Velcro self-adhesive tab (located on the back of the unit)
-
1x paper template to locate where to drill a hole in the wall for mounting
Orientation Front
Position the unit flat in front of you so that the cable coming out of the bottom is closest to you and the smooth face is facing up. This is the front of the unit.
The front of the unit is plain with 2 small holes housing LEDs. These are recessed and located just above centre in a straight line, about a centimetre apart. The top LED signals a telephone or mobile alert and the lower LED signals an external trigger like a Bellman 868 contact mat (not included).
Back
If you turn the unit over, just above centre horizontally is the Velcro tab for wall mounting. Above this slightly to the left is a wall mount hook if you would rather have a screw on the wall. To the right of this is the speaker grill.
Left edge
The left edge from the front has 2 buttons located near the top. These are the testing buttons.
Right edge
The right edge from the front has a socket near the top where you can insert an external trigger (not included). This could be a Bellman 868 contact mat for example to alert you when someone walks through the door.
Bottom edge
The bottom edge is where the telephone line comes out of the unit. To lift the front face off, there is a raised tab here that is just above where the cable comes out of the unit. Pull this tab up towards the front face for the front cover to be removed.
Inside the unit
Inside the unit once the front cover has been removed are the 2 batteries located on the right (pre-inserted). To the left of the batteries running horizontally and centrally is a row of small signal switches and radio key switches. Below these switches starting from the left is a raised square box which is where the telephone line socket is pre-inserted. To the left of this lower down is the option of have a Bellman 868 mobile phone sensor (not included).
Using the product Installation
Remove the battery pull tag to activate the telephone transmitter. Locate a position on the wall close to your telephone (observe the length of the cable). If you are using a mobile sensor (not included) ensure that cable will also reach. Clean the wall with the wipe and remove the protective film from the Velcro. Place the telephone transmitter on the wall against the Velcro. You can also use a screw and plug if preferred.
Please note: When using the self-adhesive tape it could damage your wall so care should be taken upon removal.
Connect the telephone adapter into the telephone wall socket. Now into the adaptor, insert the small connector on the end of your telephone transmitter cable into the small socket on the adaptor, and connect your telephone’s connector into the remaining socket in the adaptor. Do not force either of the connectors into the adaptor as they only fit one way. If it is not inserting, try inserting it the other way around until it easily inserts.
Testing
Ask a friend to call your landline telephone or use your mobile phone. When the landline telephone rings, your existing Bellman 868 Visit receiver should light up a telephone symbol and indicate with sound, lights or vibrations (depending on the receiver). If it doesn’t react, read the section “Trouble shooting” or “Advanced testing.”
Advanced testing
Testing the telephone transmitter is easy. First, make sure that the telephone transmitter is installed properly. For instructions, read the section Installation.
Using the test buttons
Press both test buttons simultaneously. The transmitter’s LED lights up to show that a radio signal is being transmitted.
Your existing Bellman 868 receiver’s telephone symbol should lights up to show that the signal was received.
If you have customised the signal, it will react accordingly (please see Customised signal section).
Using a telephone or a connected accessory
Activate the telephone transmitter using the telephone or any of the Bellman 868 accessories e.g. contact mat or mobile phone sensor (not included).
The transmitter’s LED lights up to show that a radio signal is being transmitted.
Your existing Bellman 868 receiver’s telephone symbol lights up to show that the signal was received. If you have customised the signal, it will react accordingly (please see Customised signal section).
If it doesn’t work as described above, read the section Trouble shooting.
Default indication and signal Transmitter indication
When the transmitter is activated, the LED lights up in green. This means that the batteries are in good condition. If the LEDs blink in orange you need to change the batteries.
Receiver signal
When a receiver is activated, it signals with sound, flashes or vibrations. The default signal patterns are as follows:
If the landline phone is the transmitter source it will have a green LED at the top. Your receiver’s LED will be a yellow light. The sound will produce one low ring, there will be fast vibration and flashing.
If your smartphone is the transmitter source it will have a green LED at the top. Your receiver’s LED will be blinking and yellow. The sound will be two high rings, with fast vibration and flashing.
If your Bellman 868 accessories e.g. contact mat, magnetic strip, doorbell etc (not included) are the transmitter source it will have a green LED at the bottom. Your receiver’s LED will be green. The sound will be a “ding dong”, there will be slow vibration and there will be flashing.
Customising the signal
The telephone transmitter controls the signal pattern on the receiver. Use the signal switches to customise the signal pattern.

Changing the radio key
All Bellman 868 visit products are set to the same radio key from the factory and all switches are positioned down, meaning off as default. You can set a unique radio key for each system to avoid radio interference when you install multiple Visit systems or if you are located near another property that uses the system; this could cause false tripping.
How to change the radio key or pair with a receiver
To change the radio key, carefully remove the front cover on the transmitter (as per orientation). Now move any radio key (any of the 6 switches nearest the batteries) switch to the up/on position to change the radio key.
Press and hold the test/function button on your existing receiver until the green and yellow LEDs blink alternately. Release the button.
Now press both test buttons simultaneously on the transmitter within 30 seconds to send the new radio key. All LEDs on your receiver will blink 5 times to show that the radio key has been changed. It will then return to normal mode.
Please note: All Visit products within the same system must be set to the same radio key in order to operate as a group so you will need to pair up your receivers to the transmitters using your receiver’s instructions.
Changing the batteries
Open the unit as per the orientation. The battery compartment is on the right inside. The 2 x AA 1.5V alkaline batteries insert with the left battery positive side towards the bottom, and vice versa for the battery on the right of the compartment. Once inserted, replace the unit’s cover by aligning the bottom raised tab that you used to open the unit with the bottom, and then levering the cover down until it clicks back into place.
