- Press and hold the volume button on the receiver for 5 seconds until it beeps.
- Immediately press the doorbell button. The receiver will chime, indicating successful pairing.
Operating Instructions
1. Adjusting Volume and Tone
- Volume Adjustment: Press the volume button on the receiver to cycle through 4 volume levels (including silent mode).
- Tone Selection: Press the music/chime button on the receiver to cycle through the 58 available tones.
2. Potty Training Your Dog
Consistency is key for successful potty training with the doorbell. Here's a basic guide:
- Introduce the Bell: Before taking your dog outside for a potty break, guide their paw or nose to touch the doorbell button. As they touch it, say a command like "Potty outside!" or "Bell!" and immediately open the door and go outside.
- Reward: Once your dog successfully eliminates outside, praise them enthusiastically and offer a treat. This positive reinforcement helps them associate ringing the bell with going outside and receiving a reward.
- Repeat Consistently: Repeat this process every time you take your dog out. Over time, your dog will learn to associate touching the bell with going outside to relieve themselves.
- Respond Promptly: When your dog rings the bell, respond immediately. If you delay, they may not connect the bell with the desired action.
- Patience: Training takes time and patience. Some dogs learn faster than others. Do not get discouraged if it takes a few days or weeks.
The large, sensitive touch surface allows dogs to easily activate the doorbell with a light touch of their nose or paw.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Wipe the doorbell button and receiver with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
2. Battery Replacement (Button)
The doorbell button is powered by a CR2032 coin cell battery (not included, or pre-installed depending on model). The battery life is typically 6-12 months. When the button stops working or the signal weakens, it's time to replace the battery.
- Hold the doorbell button and unscrew its base counterclockwise to open.
- Carefully remove the old battery.
- Insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
- Align the buckle with the card slot and rotate clockwise to close and secure the base.
The doorbell button uses a standard coin cell battery, providing 6 to 12 months of battery life.
