5. Setup

5.1 Transmitter Installation

1. Choose Location: Select a suitable location for the transmitter (chime button) near your door. Ensure it is easily accessible and within the 100m range of the receiver. While splash-proof (IPX4), avoid direct exposure to heavy rain or prolonged submersion.
2. Mounting:
   • Screw Mounting: Use the provided screws and wall plugs to securely attach the transmitter to a wall or door frame. Drill pilot holes if necessary.
   • Adhesive Mounting (Optional, not included): If preferred, you may use strong double-sided adhesive tape (not supplied) for mounting on smooth surfaces. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.
3. Nameplate: Insert your desired nameplate into the designated slot on the transmitter, if applicable.

5.2 Receiver Installation

1. Plug In: Plug the receiver unit directly into a standard electrical outlet in your desired location. Ensure the outlet is easily accessible and not obstructed.
2. Proximity: For optimal performance, place the receiver in a central location within your home, away from large metal objects or other electronic devices that might cause interference.

5.3 Synchronization (Pairing)

The units are typically pre-paired from the factory. If they do not connect automatically or if you wish to pair additional transmitters/receivers (if compatible models are purchased separately), follow these steps:

1. Plug in the receiver.
2. Within a few seconds of plugging in, press and hold the pairing button on the receiver (refer to the Quick Start Guide for exact button location, usually a small button on the side or back). The receiver's LED indicator should start flashing.
3. While the receiver's LED is flashing, press the transmitter (chime button) once.
4. The receiver should chime, and its LED will stop flashing, indicating successful pairing.
5. Test the doorbell by pressing the transmitter button.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Changing Ringtones

To cycle through the 17 available ringtones:

• Locate the ringtone selection button on the receiver (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
• Press the button repeatedly to preview each ringtone. The receiver will play the current selection.
• Stop pressing when you hear your desired ringtone. The receiver will save this selection automatically.

6.2 Adjusting Volume

To adjust the volume level (4 levels available):

• Locate the volume control button on the receiver.
• Press the button to cycle through the volume levels (e.g., High, Medium, Low, Mute).
• The receiver will play a sound at the current volume level to indicate the setting.

6.3 Signal Options

The receiver offers three signal modes:

• Acoustic: Only sound is produced when the doorbell is pressed.
• Optical: Only the LED light on the receiver flashes when the doorbell is pressed (useful for hearing-impaired users or quiet environments).
• Acoustic + Optical: Both sound and light signals are produced.

To change the signal mode, locate the mode selection button on the receiver and press it to cycle through the options. The transmitter's 3 LEDs also indicate the signal mode.

6.4 Kinetic Energy Operation

The transmitter (chime button) generates its own power through kinetic energy when pressed. This means it does not require any batteries. Ensure a firm, full press for reliable activation.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the doorbell units with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no water enters the units, especially the receiver. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Transmitter Care: Although the transmitter is IPX4 splash-proof, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions, direct water jets, or submersion. Regularly check for any debris that might obstruct the button mechanism.
• Receiver Placement: Ensure the receiver is plugged into a well-ventilated area and not covered, to prevent overheating.
• Connection Check: Periodically check that the receiver is securely plugged into the outlet and that the transmitter is firmly mounted.
