5. Maintenance

5.1 Water Resistance

The bell is IPX4 water-resistant, meaning it is protected against splashing water from any direction. It can be used in rainy conditions. Do not immerse the bell directly in water.

5.2 Battery Replacement

The bell uses two CR2 batteries, which typically last for one year. To replace the batteries, follow these steps:

  1. Carefully pull the horn unit out of its silicone casing.
  2. Remove the battery holder and the old batteries.
  3. Insert two new CR2 batteries into the holder, observing correct polarity.
  4. Reinsert the battery holder into the horn unit.
  5. Slide the horn unit back into the silicone casing until it is securely in place.

6. Troubleshooting

  • No Sound or Weak Sound:
    Check if the battery insulation pad has been completely removed. If the batteries are old or depleted, replace them following the instructions in Section 5.2. Note that the bell's sound level may be less effective in very noisy environments.
  • Difficulty Changing Sound Modes:
    Ensure you are pressing and holding the button for approximately three seconds. A quick press will only activate the current sound mode.
