7 Operation

After pairing, the doorbell button can be operated via a brief push of the button. In conjunction with other Homematic IP devices, such as the Homematic IP Combination Signalling Device or voice assistants (Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant), pressing the button can play back a sound or switch on lighting, for example.

After pressing the doorbell button, a positive or negative acoustic feedback is triggered – depending on whether the radio command was received or not. This function is disabled by default and can be activated via the Homematic IPapp.

8 Changing battery

If the battery symbol is displayed in the app or an empty battery is indicated on the device (see „9.4 Error codes and flashing sequences“ on page 22), replace the used battery with a new LR03/micro/AAA battery. You must observe the correct battery polarity.

To replace the device batteries, please proceed as follows:

• Press the lug on the back side of the wall bracket (A) slightly to the rear (using a flat-blade screwdriver, if necessary) to loosen the electronic unit (C) from the wall bracket ( see figure 2).
• Remove the empty battery from the battery compartment (D).
• Insert a new 1.5 V LR03/micro/battery into the battery compartment, making sure that it is the right way round.

Figure 7

- Place the doorbell button into the wall bracket.

Once the battery has been inserted, the device will perform a self-test (approx. 2 seconds). Afterwards, initialisation is carried out. The LED test display will indicate that initialisation is complete by lighting up orange and green (see „9.4 Error codes and flashing sequences“ on page 22).

Caution! There is a risk of explosion if the batteries are not replaced correctly. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Do not throw the batteries into a fire. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat. Do not short-circuit batteries. Doing so will present a risk of explosion.

Contact with batteries that are dead or damaged can cause skin irritation. Use protective gloves in this case.

9 Troubleshooting

9.1 Low battery

Provided that the voltage value permits it, the device will remain ready for operation even if the battery voltage is low. Depending on the particular load, it may be possible to send transmissions again repeatedly, once the batteries have been allowed a brief recovery period.

If the voltage drops again during transmission, the error code for empty batteries will be displayed on the device (see "9.4 Error codes and flashing sequences" on page 22). In this case, replace the flat battery with a new one (see "8 Changing battery" on page 19).

9.2 Command not confirmed

If at least one receiver does not confirm a command, the device LED (E) lights up red at the end of the failed transmission process. The reason for the failed transmission may be radio in-

terference (see „12 General information about radio operation“ on page 24).

This may be caused by the following:

• Receiver cannot be reached.
• Receiver is unable to execute the command (load failure, mechanical blockage, etc.) or
• Receiver is faulty.

9.3 Duty Cycle

The duty cycle is a legally regulated limit of the transmission time of devices in the 868 MHz range. The aim of this regulation is to safeguard the operation of all devices working in the 868 MHz range.

In the 868 MHz frequency range we use, the maximum transmission time of any device is 1% of an hour (i.e. 36 seconds in an hour). Devices must cease transmission when they reach the 1% limit until this time restriction comes to an end. Homematic IP devices are designed and produced with 100% conformity to this regulation.

During normal operation, the duty cycle is not usually reached. However, repeated and radio-intensive pairing processes mean that it may be reached in isolated instances during start-up or initial installation of a system. If the duty cycle limit is exceeded, this is indicated by long red lighting of the device LED (E), and may manifest itself in the device temporarily working incorrectly. The device will start working correctly again after a short period (max. 1 hour).

11 Maintenance and cleaning

The device does not require you to carry out any maintenance other than replacing the battery when necessary. Leave any maintenance or repair to a specialist.

Clean the device using a soft, clean, dry and lint-free cloth. The cloth can be slightly dampened with lukewarm water to remove more stubborn marks. Do not use any detergents containing solvents, as they could corrode the plastic housing and label.

12 General information about radio operation

Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive transmission path, which means that there is a possibility of interference occurring. Interference can also be caused by switching operations, electrical motors or defective electrical devices.

The transmission range within buildings can differ significantly from that available in open space. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity in the vicinity play an important role, as do on-site structural/screening conditions.

eQ-3 AG, Maiburger Straße 29, 26789 Leer, Germany hereby declares that the radio equipment type Homematic IP HmIP-DBB is compliant with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity can be found at: www.homematic-ip.com
