4. Setup

4.1. Installing the Push Button

1. Select Location: Choose a suitable location for the push button, typically near your front door. Ensure the surface is clean and dry. The transmission range is up to 150 ft (45 meters) from the chime unit.
2. Install Battery: The push button requires a battery (not included). Open the push button casing (usually by prying open a small notch or unscrewing a cover) and insert the correct battery type, observing polarity. Close the casing securely.
3. Mounting Options:
   • Using Mounting Tape: For a quick installation, apply the provided mounting tape to the back of the push button and firmly press it onto the desired surface for at least 30 seconds.
   • Using Screws and Anchors: For a more secure installation, mark the desired screw holes on the wall. Drill pilot holes if necessary, insert the anchors, and then secure the push button with the provided screws.

4.2. Plugging in the Chime Unit

• Plug the wireless chime unit into any standard indoor wall socket. Ensure it is within the 150 ft (45 meters) transmission range of the push button.
• Avoid plugging the chime unit into an outlet controlled by a switch, as this may inadvertently turn off the doorbell.

4.3. Pairing (If Applicable)

Your Globe Electric Wireless Doorbell Kit is typically pre-paired at the factory. If the chime does not sound when the push button is pressed after installation, follow these steps to re-pair the units:

1. Plug in the chime unit.
2. Locate the pairing button on the chime unit (refer to the diagram if available, or look for a small button often labeled "Pair" or "Learn"). Press and hold this button for approximately 3-5 seconds until an indicator light flashes or a short tone is heard.
3. Within 10 seconds, press the wireless push button. The chime unit should sound, indicating successful pairing.
4. If pairing fails, repeat the steps.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Selecting Chime Tunes

The chime unit offers three selectable tunes for the front entrance and a distinct "ding" for a secondary entrance (if a second push button is paired, though this kit includes only one). To change the tune for the primary push button:

• Locate the tune selection button on the chime unit (often labeled with a musical note or "Tune").
• Press this button repeatedly to cycle through the available melodies. The chime will play each tune as you select it.
• Stop pressing the button when you hear your desired tune. This tune will now be set for the paired push button.

5.2. Transmission Range

The wireless doorbell system has a transmission range of up to 150 feet (approximately 45 meters) in open areas. Environmental factors such as thick walls, metal structures, or other wireless devices may reduce this range. Position the chime unit and push button to minimize obstructions for optimal performance.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Battery Replacement (Push Button)

When the push button's performance degrades (e.g., reduced range, inconsistent ringing), the battery may need replacement. The push button uses a standard battery type (e.g., CR2032 coin cell or A23 12V, check the specific model for exact type).

1. Carefully open the push button casing.
2. Remove the old battery and dispose of it according to local regulations.
3. Insert a new battery of the same type, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
4. Close the casing securely. Test the doorbell to confirm functionality.

6.2. Cleaning

Clean the chime unit and push button with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic finish.
