5. Setup
5.1 Initial Power-Up

- The doorbell host will emit a quick "Di" sound, and the LED indicator will flash slowly in red, green, blue, and white, indicating it is powered on and ready.
5.2 Mounting the Doorbell Button
The doorbell button can be installed using either double-sided adhesive tape or screws.
- Adhesive Tape Method: Clean the desired mounting surface thoroughly. Apply the double-sided adhesive tape to the back of the doorbell button and firmly press it onto the wall or door frame.
- Screw Method: Mark the desired mounting location. Drill pilot holes if necessary and secure the doorbell button using appropriate screws.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Doorbell Melody Selection
- Short Press [Music Note Button]: Press the music note button on the receiver to cycle through the available melodies and play the current selection.
- Long Press [Music Note Button]: Press and hold the music note button to change the direction of the song cycle.
- To confirm a melody, play the desired melody, wait for 3 seconds, then short press the music note button again.

- Short Press [Volume Button]: Press the volume button on the receiver to cycle through the 4 available volume levels (1-2-3-4). Level 1 is the minimum sound, and Level 4 is the maximum sound.
6.3 Encoding and Pairing a Button
The doorbell buttons are typically pre-paired at the factory. If you need to pair a new button or re-pair an existing one:
- Common Doorbell Button Encoding:
- Press and hold the [Volume Button] on the doorbell receiver. The host will sound "drop" and the LED light will turn on, indicating it is in pairing mode.
- While the receiver is in pairing mode, press the doorbell button you wish to pair. The receiver's LED light will flash twice, and the host will sound "drop" twice, indicating successful encoding.
- If the LED light flashes once and the host sounds "drop" once, it indicates successful encoding.
- If the LED light flashes three times and the host sounds "drop" three times, it indicates pairing failed.
- The receiver will automatically exit pairing mode if there is no operation for 20 seconds.
- Fixed Learning Play Ringtone Doorbell Button (Advanced Pairing):
- Press and hold both the [Music Note Button] and the [Volume Button] simultaneously on the doorbell receiver. The host will sound "Di" once, and the LED light will turn on, indicating it is in pairing mode.
- While the receiver is in pairing mode, press the doorbell button you wish to pair. The receiver's LED light will flash twice, and the host will sound "Di" twice, indicating successful pairing.
- If the LED light flashes once and the host sounds "Di" once, it indicates successful encoding.
- If the LED light flashes three times and the host sounds "Di" three times, it indicates pairing failed.
- The receiver will automatically exit pairing mode if there is no operation for 20 seconds.
Note:
- The doorbell host can pair up to 20 doorbell buttons.
- Different transmitters can be set to different tunes.
6.4 Clear All Paired Buttons
- Long Press [Volume Button]: Press and hold the [Volume Button] on the receiver. Continue holding until you hear a continuous slow tempo sound and the LED indicator flashes 10 times.
- Release the button when you hear a rapid "Di" sound and the LED indicator flashes quickly. This indicates that all paired doorbell buttons have been removed, and the host has returned to its factory settings.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the doorbell receivers and buttons with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: The doorbell button uses a CR2032 battery. While it has a maximum lifespan of 3 years, replace it if the button becomes unresponsive or the signal weakens. To replace, carefully open the button casing, remove the old battery, and insert a new CR2032 battery with the correct polarity.
- Environmental Conditions: The doorbell button is IP55 waterproof and designed to withstand temperatures from -4°F to 140°F. However, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme conditions or direct submersion in water to ensure longevity.
- Signal Strength: If you experience signal issues, ensure the distance between the button and receiver is within the specified 150m (500ft) open-area range. Walls and other obstructions can reduce the effective wireless distance.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Doorbell does not ring | Receiver not powered on; button battery low/dead; button not paired; out of range. | Ensure receiver is plugged in and powered. Replace button battery. Re-pair the button (see Section 6.3). Move receiver closer to button. |
| Pairing fails (LED flashes 3 times, host sounds "drop" 3 times) | Incorrect pairing procedure; interference; button too far from receiver during pairing. | Ensure correct pairing steps are followed (Section 6.3). Perform pairing closer to the receiver. Try again. |
| Receiver exits pairing mode automatically | No button press within 20 seconds during pairing. | Initiate pairing again and press the doorbell button more quickly. |
| Reduced wireless range or intermittent signal | Obstructions (walls, metal structures); interference from other wireless devices; low button battery. | Relocate receiver or button to minimize obstructions. Replace button battery. Avoid placing near other strong wireless signals. |
| All buttons stop working | All paired buttons were cleared accidentally. | Re-pair all doorbell buttons individually (Section 6.3). |
9. User Tips
- Multiple Receivers: If you have multiple receivers, ensure they are all correctly paired to the same doorbell button. When one button is pressed, all paired receivers will chime simultaneously, providing alerts throughout your home.
- Plug Type: Before purchasing, verify the correct plug type (EU, US, UK) for your region to ensure compatibility with your electrical outlets.
