4.3 Mounting the Transmitter

Choose a flat, clean surface for mounting the transmitter. You have two options:

  1. Using Adhesive Tape:

    • Peel off one side of the double-sided adhesive tape and attach it to the back of the transmitter.
    • Peel off the other side of the tape and firmly press the transmitter onto the desired surface for at least 30 seconds.
  2. Using Screws:
    • Open the transmitter casing to access the screw holes.
    • Mark the desired drilling points on the wall.
    • Drill holes and insert wall anchors if necessary.
    • Secure the transmitter base to the wall using the provided screws.
    • Reattach the transmitter casing.

For optimal performance, avoid mounting the transmitter on metal surfaces, which can reduce the wireless range.

  5. To pair a transmitter with multiple receivers, repeat steps 2-3 for each receiver.

5.4 Silent Mode / LED Flash Only

To use the doorbell in silent mode with only the LED flash:

  1. Press the 'Volume' button repeatedly until the volume reaches 0dB (mute).
