2. Select Mounting Location: Choose a suitable location near your door, ensuring it is easily accessible for visitors. Avoid placing it on metal surfaces, which can interfere with the wireless signal.

   • Using Screws: Mark the desired drilling points. Drill small pilot holes, insert wall plugs if mounting on masonry, and then secure the transmitter base with the provided screws. Attach the transmitter to its base.
   • Using Adhesive Pad: Clean the mounting surface thoroughly. Peel off the protective film from the adhesive pad and firmly press the transmitter onto the desired location for at least 30 seconds.

2. Receiver (Chime Unit) Installation

1. Power Supply: The receiver unit is typically powered by plugging it into a standard electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is easily accessible and not obstructed.
2. Select Location: Choose a central location within your home where the chime can be heard clearly. Consider the wireless range (434 MHz frequency) and potential obstructions like thick walls or large metal objects that might reduce signal strength.
3. Power On: Plug the receiver into the electrical outlet. The unit should power on, indicated by an LED light or a brief sound.
4. Pairing (if necessary): Some wireless doorbells require pairing the transmitter and receiver. Refer to specific instructions on the receiver unit or packaging if a pairing button or sequence is present. For this model, pairing is usually automatic upon power-up if the units are from the same set.
