4. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Door Chime Transmitter:
- Insert Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the back of the transmitter. Insert the specified batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
- Mount the Transmitter: Choose a suitable location on the door frame or window frame. The main transmitter unit should be mounted on the stationary part (frame), and the magnetic contact sensor on the moving part (door/window). Ensure they are aligned and within 10mm of each other when the door/window is closed. Use the provided screws or adhesive strips for mounting.
- Pair with a Receiver: Activate the pairing mode on your Bellman & Symfon Visit receiver (refer to your receiver's manual for specific instructions). Once the receiver is in pairing mode, open and close the door or window where the transmitter is installed. The transmitter will send a signal, and the receiver should acknowledge the pairing.
- Test Functionality: Open and close the door/window to verify that the transmitter sends a signal and your Visit receiver responds as expected (e.g., flashing lights, vibration, sound).

5. Operating Instructions
The Bellman & Symfon Visit Door Chime Transmitter operates automatically once set up and paired with a receiver.
- Detection: When the magnetic contact between the main transmitter unit and the separate magnetic sensor is broken (e.g., a door opens), the transmitter detects this change.
- Signal Transmission: Upon detection, the transmitter immediately sends a radio signal to all paired Bellman & Symfon Visit receivers within range.
- Receiver Indication: The receiver will then alert you according to its settings, which may include visual flashes, vibrations, or audible signals.
- Battery Indicator: Some models may feature a low battery indicator light on the transmitter itself. Consult the device for specific indicators.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance of your transmitter.
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse in water.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator activates on the transmitter or receiver, or if the device stops functioning. Refer to the battery type specified in the specifications section. Ensure correct polarity during replacement.
- Mounting Check: Periodically check that the transmitter and magnetic sensor are securely mounted and properly aligned.
