INSTALLING THE DOORBELL

The Doorbell is powered by a "CR2032" battery which comes preinstalled.

To activate the battery:

1. Insert a small flat-head screwdriver into the small notch at the base of the Doorbell and lift slightly to remove the rear cover.
2. Pull the battery tab from underneath the "CR2032" battery.
3. Replace the rear cover. Make sure the rubber weather seal is in place.

WARNING: The Doorbell unit contains a coin/button cell battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and can lead to death. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children. If you think the battery might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.

INSTALLING THE CHIME SPEAKER

No wiring is necessary. Just plug the Chime Speaker into an easily accessible power point and switch the power point on. The Chime Speaker, upon receiving power, automatically goes into pairing mode for 10 seconds as indicated by the LED glowing solid red. Simply press the Doorbell button within this period to pair the Doorbell with the Chime Speaker. You will hear the default chime played as confirmation.

CHIME SELECTION & PAIRING

You can assign a different chime to be played for the Doorbell. Follow the steps below:

1. Press the button repeatedly on the Chime Speaker to cycle through the available sounds. Stop when you hear something you like.
2. Press and hold the CODE button on the Chime Speaker for 3 seconds. The Chime Speaker goes into pairing mode, indicated by the LED glowing solid red.
3. Within 10 seconds, press the Doorbell button. The Chime Speaker responds with the selected sound as confirmation. If pairing is not completed within 10 seconds, the Chime Speaker double-beeps. In this case, you will need to start over from step 2.

Tip: Additional Chime Speaker and Doorbell units can be set up using the same method as above. A Chime Speaker can support a maximum of 5 Doorbells at any one time. Additional Doorbells are available for purchase separately.
