2. Pairing with Transmitters
The receiver must be paired with compatible Bellman Visit transmitters (e.g., door transmitters, smoke alarms, baby monitors) to function. Refer to the specific transmitter's manual for detailed pairing instructions. Generally, the process involves activating the transmitter's pairing mode and then activating the receiver's pairing mode within range.
3. Placement
Place the portable receiver in a location where you can easily hear the alerts and see the LED signals. Consider its portability to move it between rooms or even outdoors within the operating range of your transmitters.
Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off
The receiver powers on automatically once batteries are correctly installed. There is no separate power button. To turn off, remove the batteries.
2. Adjusting Sound Level
The receiver features an adjustable sound level, ranging from 0dB to 90dB. Locate the volume control on the device and adjust it to a comfortable and audible level.
3. Receiving Alerts
When a paired Bellman Visit transmitter sends a signal, the portable receiver will alert you through:
- Distinct Sounds: Each type of alert (e.g., doorbell, telephone, smoke alarm) will have a unique sound pattern.
- LED Light Signals: Specific LED indicators on the receiver will illuminate to visually identify the source of the alert.
The receiver can differentiate between up to four transmitters of the same type, indicating which specific device triggered the alert.
4. Operating Range
The approximate operating range in an open field is about 100 feet (33 yards). Walls, furniture, and other large objects can significantly reduce this range. Position your receiver and transmitters to minimize obstructions for optimal performance.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Wipe the receiver with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the device.
2. Battery Replacement
Replace the C batteries when the low battery indicator (if present) illuminates or when the device's performance degrades. Always replace all four batteries at the same time with new ones.
3. Storage
If storing the receiver for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and potential damage to the device.
