4.2 Pairing with a Transmitter (e.g., Doorbell Push Button)

2. Locate the pairing button on the chime unit (refer to the device diagram in the full manual for exact location, typically a small button on the side or bottom).
3. Press and hold the pairing button for approximately 3 seconds until the LED ring starts flashing rapidly. This indicates the chime is in pairing mode.
4. Within 10 seconds, activate your wireless transmitter (e.g., press the doorbell push button).
5. The chime unit will emit a short confirmation sound and the LED ring will stop flashing, indicating successful pairing.
6. Test the connection by pressing the transmitter button again. The chime should sound.

Note: The CALIMA 200E can typically be paired with multiple transmitters. Repeat the pairing process for each additional transmitter.

The portable design allows you to place the chime unit in any room where you need to hear the notification, as long as it is within range of the transmitter and has access to a power outlet.
