4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to set up your Avidsen wireless doorbell:
- Chime Installation: Plug the wireless chime unit directly into a standard 230V AC wall socket. Ensure the socket is easily accessible and not obstructed.
- Call Button Battery: The call button requires one 12V A23 battery, which is supplied in the package. Open the battery compartment on the back of the call button and insert the battery, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
- Call Button Placement: Choose a suitable location for your call button, typically near your entrance. Before permanent mounting, test the wireless range by pressing the button and ensuring the chime rings reliably from your chosen location. The button can be mounted using screws or double-sided adhesive tape (not supplied).
- Pre-programming: The chime and call button are pre-programmed at the factory to work together. No manual pairing or frequency adjustment is typically required, which helps prevent interference with other wireless devices.

5. Operating Instructions
Using your Avidsen wireless doorbell is straightforward:
- Activating the Doorbell: Simply press the call button. The button features a luminous indicator that lights up when pressed, confirming activation.
- Ringtone Selection: On the chime unit, locate the ringtone selection button (often marked with a musical note symbol). Press this button repeatedly to cycle through the 32 available melodies until you find your preferred sound.
- Volume Adjustment: The chime unit also has a volume control button (often marked with a speaker symbol). Press this button to adjust the sound level to your desired intensity.
6. Maintenance
- Battery Replacement (Call Button): The 12V A23 battery in the call button will eventually need replacement. If the doorbell's range decreases, the chime doesn't ring consistently, or the luminous indicator on the button no longer lights up, it's time to replace the battery. Open the battery compartment on the back of the call button, remove the old battery, and insert a new 12V A23 battery, ensuring correct polarity.
- Cleaning: To clean the chime and call button, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
- Environmental Protection: Do not dispose of old batteries or electronic waste with household trash. Follow local regulations for proper disposal and recycling.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Avidsen wireless doorbell, please refer to the following common solutions:
- No Sound from Chime:
- Ensure the chime unit is securely plugged into a live 230V AC wall socket.
- Check if the call button battery needs replacement.
- Verify that the chime volume is not set to its minimum level.
- Limited Range or Intermittent Operation:
- Ensure there are no large metal objects, thick walls, or other significant obstructions directly between the call button and the chime unit.
- Avoid placing the chime or button near other wireless devices (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, cordless phones) that might cause signal interference.
- While the system is pre-programmed to minimize interference, extreme environmental conditions or dense building materials can affect wireless performance. Try repositioning the units slightly.
- Chime Rings Without Button Press:
- This is rare due to pre-programming. If it occurs, try unplugging the chime for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.
