4.2 Installing the Push Button Transmitter
- Choose a flat, clean surface near your entrance for the push button. Consider the optimal operating range (up to 150m in open areas, which may be reduced by walls and obstacles).
- Clean the mounting surface thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion if using the adhesive pad.
- Option A (Adhesive Mounting): Remove the protective film from the adhesive pad on the back of the push button and firmly press it onto the chosen surface for at least 30 seconds.
- Option B (Screw Mounting): Use the provided screws to securely attach the push button to the wall. Ensure not to overtighten.
- Test the doorbell by pressing the push button. The receiver should chime.
Note: The push button is battery-free and generates power mechanically when pressed. No battery installation is required.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Selecting a Chime
The receiver unit has a button, typically located on the side or front, for cycling through the 32 available chimes. Press this button repeatedly until you hear your desired melody. The selected chime will be saved automatically.
5.2 Adjusting Volume
A separate button or dial on the receiver unit allows you to adjust the volume level. Press the volume button or turn the dial to increase or decrease the sound output to your preferred level.
5.3 Pairing Additional Push Buttons (If Applicable)
Your doorbell is pre-programmed. If you purchase additional Thomson compatible push buttons, refer to their specific instructions for pairing. Generally, this involves a pairing mode on the receiver and pressing the new push button.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the doorbell units with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery-Free Push Button: Since the push button is battery-free, no battery replacement is ever needed. This reduces maintenance and environmental impact.
- Receiver Unit: Ensure the receiver unit is plugged into a functional power outlet.
- Placement: Periodically check that the push button is securely mounted and that the receiver is not obstructed by large metal objects or other electronics that could interfere with the wireless signal.
