Operating Instructions

Volume Adjustment

Use the volume control buttons (speaker icons) on the side of the doorbell units to adjust the sound level. The system offers an enhanced digital sound output of 84 dB.

Melody Selection

Press the 'music note' button on the side of the doorbell units to cycle through the 6 available melodies. Select your preferred chime.

Visual Alerts (LED Strobe)

The doorbell units feature an LED strobe light for additional visual alerts, useful in noisy environments or for individuals with hearing impairments. This can be activated or deactivated via the settings button (gear icon).

Secret Knock Function

Wireless Range

The system offers a wireless range of up to 150 meters (approximately 492 feet) in open areas. Environmental factors such as walls, metal structures, and other wireless devices may reduce this range.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

  • Wireless Push Button: Replace the CR2 battery when the confidence light on the push button no longer illuminates or the doorbell unit fails to chime.
  • Portable Doorbell Unit: Replace the 4 x AA batteries when the sound becomes weak or the unit stops functioning.

Cleaning

Wipe the units with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the surface.

Troubleshooting

  • Doorbell unit does not chime:
    • Check batteries in the push button and portable doorbell unit.
    • Ensure the plug-in unit is securely in a powered socket.
    • Verify that the units are paired correctly (refer to 'Pairing' section).
    • Check if the doorbell unit is within range of the push button.
  • Poor wireless range:
    • Relocate the doorbell units or push button to minimize obstructions (e.g., thick walls, metal objects).
